• 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.

Heritage Uxbridge


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.
