It is my pleasure, on behalf of Uxbridge Township Council and Staff, to present ourSpring/Summer 2015 Community Guide.

As spring approaches, it brings with it many exciting opportunities to experienceall sorts of wonderful recreational activities. Visit our trails and experience thewonder of nature coming alive after a winter sleep. We are very excited about thewide variety of programs that we are presenting to the public. We encourage youto get out and enjoy the activities in the community. It is a wonderful way tobecome involved in everything that Uxbridge has to offer, as well as meeting newpeople.

I would like to thank the many volunteers who, through their tireless efforts anddedication to our community, are a major reason Uxbridge has such a broad arrayof well-run and progressive programs.

I encourage you to discover all that there is to do in Uxbridge. I believe you will beimpressed.
