    Hundreds of kilometres of trails, just minutes from your doorstep.

    Countryside Trails

    Over 200 kilometres of trails run through Uxbridge Township including:

    • East Duffins Headwaters Area

    • Durham Regional Forest• Oak Ridges Trail

    • Trans Canada Trail

    These countryside trails run through natural forested sections of the Township, with

    great opportunities for hiking, walking, mountain biking, geocaching and equestrian.

    Managed by a variety of trail partners, the countryside trails are growing, including

    new off-road sections of the Trans Canada Trail, and enhancements to the network of

    trails connecting south to the City of Toronto and Lake Ontario.

    Town Trails

    Road section).

    Heritage Uxbridge

    Township of Uxbridge • Community Guide • Fall & Winter 2015-2016

    Rural Hall Programs

    Heritage Uxbridge is a

    committee of dedicated volunteers commissioned by the Uxbridge

    Council to act as an advocate for the preservation and conservation of heritage

    properties in the Township and to advise on matters related to heritage and cultural

    aspects. In past years, the Committee has developed and organized guided tours,

    and published articles and maps that help promote Uxbridge’s cultural heritage. The

    committee also seeks to identify local structures for potential Ontario Heritage Actdesignation.

    A few years ago, an award called the ‘Heritage Appreciation Award’ was established by

    the committee to recognize individuals “for taking the initiative and action to preserve

    our past”. This year we will continue to recognize local area Heritage Farms as well

    homes of heritage or cultural value through the Pride Plaque Program. Working with

    Council, we successfully identified the distinctive heritage district formerly known as

    ‘Gouldville’ by way of specially designed street signs. We have also been instrumental

    in providing advice on the potential move of an OHA designated home to enable

    development of land recently purchased on Mill Street.

    The Heritage Sign Bylaw Guidelines are used as a reference and to help promote aheritage ‘look’ in the downtown district; information and ideas on improving building

    facades, windows and general landscapes in keeping with a heritage

    appearance

    can be found at the Township Office. We also

    continue to work with local businesses in adding

    historic murals to their buildings, including

    Vince’s Market, Shoppers Drug Mart, Mark’s Work

    Warehouse, A&W and PharmaPlus. We have

    asked Council to be included in the redesign and

    renovation of the Township Office sign.

    Our committee worked with the Trails

    Committee to procure funding from Metrolinx to

    renovate the train trestle in an effort to restore

    foot traffic in preparation for the Trans Canada

    Trail’s 25th anniversary in 2017, which coincides with Canada’s 150th anniversary of

    Confederation.
