MAYOR'S MESSAGEOur designation as the TRAIL CAPITAL of CANADA has been recognized and celebrated with a major

event in Elgin Park last year but the significance of this declaration calls for a year long, “year in –

year out” celebration and we urge you to get out and explore all the wonderful trails that crisscross

our community and encourage your friends and acquaintances to do the same.

With the support of Council and a volunteer committee of engineers and property manage-

ment specialists, we have made the decision to demolish the two major buildings on the Kennedy

House site. There was very limited interest in the community to redevelop the “school” building as a

facility for various organizations to operate with their own permanent space for meetings and other

activities.

The shop building will be retained as a potential headquarters building and storage facili-

ty for the Parks & Recreation department. If this does not materialize, then this build will also be

demolished. We have a private citizen who is interested in acquiring and moving the house that is

located at the entrance to the site. The perimeter steel fence will be removed and we are looking for

a party who could take advantage of the salvage value in this significant amount of high quality fenc-

ing. We expect demolition to take place in the late spring, early summer.

We are also in the process of awarding a contract to a company who will provide the

Township with a Master Plan for the long term development of the Kennedy House site to meet the

future recreational needs of the community.

As stated in the Fall Community Guide, we are looking for a new name for Kennedy House

and we expect to initiate a competitive process to find one this year. Watch the website for more infor-

mation on this one.

Given the minimal level of participation last year, we have decided to forego the Junior

Triathlon in 2010. It is our hope that we may be able to develop more support and participation in

the future so that we can re-introduce this very special, worthy event in 2011. Fitness at all ages is

so important to the enjoyment of a meaningful quality of life that it is vital to encourage an interest

in fitness at an early age.

The Township has been successful in obtaining recreational infrastructure grants for the

arena and the pool. The arena and the pool will both get a new roof and the pool will get some

upgrades including a new family change room, something that the community has been asking for,

for some time. The long term plan is to eventually build a new pool at the Kennedy House site.

Please visit our new, vastly improved, website at www.uxbridge.town.on.ca for more infor-

mation on the many recreational opportunities available in the Township.

The Thomas Foster Memorial was built for $250,000 in 1936on a hill in the countryside of Uxbridge Township. The TajMahal inspired its structure, which is just outside of Agra,India. The roof surfaces are copper tile, and the entrance doors,windows, tracery and all metal parts are bronze. The beautifulstained glass windows are the work of Yvonne Williams, andare of hand-painted, fired and leaded glass, the colour anddesigns are harmonious and are distributed so as to flood theinterior with soft, colourful light. The floors are of richcoloured terrazzo and marble mosaics, wrought in symbolicdesigns.

On entering, one crosses the River of Oaths on which floatwater lilies and lily pads. In the general design of the floorbeneath the great dome, the motion, typifying life, radiatesfrom the Greek letters “Alpha and Omega” which in turn flankthe “Chi Rho” monogram in its early Byzantine form, theLaurel wreath of victory over death encircles the centre motif.Above, the drum of the dome is pierced with 12 stained glass,leaded windows, that in the east being in the form of a goldcross on a rich blue ground. Circling the lower part of thedome, above the great arches in gold lettering on a field ofgraded blue mosaic is the inscription… ‘Take this my body forit is done and I have gained a new life, glorious and eternal’

Heritage Uxbridge is a commit-tee commissioned by theUxbridge Council to act as anadvocate for the preservationand conservation of heritageproperties in the township.The committee is made up ofdedicated volunteers who carryout a number of on-goingresponsibilities throughout theyear, working with the commu-nity and the township membersassisting with and advising inmatters related to heritage andcultural aspects. In past years,the committee has developedand organized guided tours,Doors Open, and publishedarticles and maps that help pro-

mote Uxbridge’s cultural her-itage. It also produced aHeritage District Sign Bi-law tohelp promote a heritage “look”in the downtown district andcontinues to recognise individ-ual’s homes of heritage or cul-tural value through the PlaqueProgram.

This year an award called the“Heritage Appreciation Award”,has been established by thecommittee to recognize thoseindividuals “for taking the ini-tiative and action to preserveour past”. Three recipients,Strawberry Threads, Rutledge’sJewellers and the Tin Mill havereceived this award TheHeritage Sign By-lawGuidelines is used as a referenceto determine award recipients,and the boundaries include the

entire township. Informationabout how to receive this awardalong with ideas on improvingbuilding facades, windows andgeneral landscapes in keepingwith a heritage appearance, canbe found in the HeritageUxbridge Sign Guidelines at theTownship’s office.

2009 will also see the commit-tee involved with the“Downtown revitalization”,project and those plans andpolicies that will guide thetownship with its developmentof the downtown core. Further,the committee continues tomaintain a close watch on thePickering Airport lands, andwill endeavour to help protectany properties of historical andcultural value found within thatarea.

Survive a Fire in YourHome... Plan YourEscape Today!

Anyone who has livedthrough a fire will tell youwhat a terrifying experience itis. Unfortunately, many peo-ple who experience fire neverget a chance to tell their story- to warn others of the dan-gers of fire.

Your fire department wantsyou to be prepared if a firestrikes your home. Please takea few minutes with your fam-ily to make a fire escape planby following the nine simpleinstructions listed below.Every household must have afire escape plan and workingsmoke alarms to help ensuresurvival in a fire. Begin yourplan by checking your smokealarms to make sure that theyare working. The smokealarms will wake you up if afire occurs while you areasleep.

1.Draw a floor plan of yourhome

Use a grid to draw a floorplan of your home, followingthe example provided as aguide. You should draw afloor plan for each floor ofyour home.

2. Include all possibleemergency exits

Draw in all walls, doors,windows and stairs. This willshow you and your family all

possible escape routes at aglance.

3. Include any importantfeatures that could help withyour escape

Doors and windows areescape exits from your home.

Are there any other featuresthat could help you get outsafely? Can you climb out awindow onto the roof of aporch or garage? Is there a treeor television antenna towerthat can be safely reachedfrom a window? These fea-tures can be extremely usefulin an emergency, however youmust make sure that all escaperoutes are practical andusable.

4. Mark two escape routesfrom each room

There is a main exit fromevery room. This will be theexit to use if there is no appar-ent danger. If you are unableto use the main exit becauseof smoke or fire, you musthave an alternate exit. Thesecond exit is usually the win-dow. Special considerationshould be given to planningescape routes from the bed-rooms as most fires occur atright when everyone is sleep-ing. This second exit must bepractical and easy to use.Make sure that the occupantof that bedroom is able to use

the second exit.

5. Remember - some peoplemay need help to escape

Decide in advance who willassist the very young, elderlyor physically challengedmembers of your household.

A few minutes of planningwill save valuable seconds in areal emergency.

6. Choose a place outsidewhere everyone will meet

Choose a meeting place thatevery one will remember. It isa good idea to choose a spotat the front of your home orclose to your neighbour'shouse. Everyone must knowto go directly to this meetingplace so they can be account-ed for. No one should go backinto a burning building forany reason.

7. Call the fire departmentfrom a neighbour's home

Once at the meeting place,someone can be sent to theneighbour's home to call thefire department. Include theneighbour's name and the firedepartment phone number(911) on your plan. Mark thestreet address of your homeon your fire escape plan,Always keep the FireDepartments number by yourown phone in case a neigh-

bour needs to call.

8. Make sure everyone isfamiliar with the homeescape plan

Go over the entire plan witheveryone. Discuss primaryand secondary escape routesfrom each bedroom. Ensurethat all children know theplan. Walk through theescape routes for each roomwith the entire family. Usethis walk-through exercise tocheck your escape routes,making sure all exits are prac-tical and easy to use.

It is important that all win-dows will open and that noheavy furniture blocks anyescape route. If escape laddersor ropes are to be used, makesure that they area accessibleand that the appropriate indi-vidual is capable of usingthem.

9. Practice your escape plan

After reviewing the floor planwith the members of yourhousehold, have an actualpractice to ensure that every-one knows what to do.Practice your escape planevery six months. In a realfire, you must react withouthesitation as your escaperoutes may be quicklyblocked by smoke or flames.Your practice drills will ensurethat everyone knows what todo when fire strikes.
