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 22kgold mosaics withalso multi colors give elegance to this magnificent building.The floors are of rich coloured terrazzo and marble mosaics,wrought in symbolic designs.

On entering, one crosses the River of Oaths on which floatswater 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 for it is done and I have gained a new life,glorious and eternal’

HeritageUxbridge


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.

In 2010 recognition awardswere presented to AngeloPolyzotis (Mark's WorkWearhouse), Shoppers DrugMart, Vince's Market andA&W for promoting history ontheir facades. We also haveacknowledged the Mustardfarm as a sixth generation farm-ing business important to ouragricultural heritage.

Last year the community ofLeaskdale and the Lucy Maud

Montgomery Society wereproud as the originalPresbyterian church, knownmainly for its connection toLucy Maud, received a provin-cial heritage designation.

ROAD WATCH

What is Road Watch?

A new community initiativedesigned to improve roadsafety by creating greaterawareness and giving resi-dents an opportunity to par-ticipate in identifying andreporting dangerous andaggressive driving in theTownship of Uxbridge.

Why have Road Watch?

What is Aggressive Driving?

Aggressive driving is definedas excessive speeding, tail-gating, failure to stop and anyother unsafe driving that putsothers at high risk for colli-sion or injury.

How does Road Watchwork?

Citizen Report Forms may beused any time you observe anact of aggressive driving.Record as much informationas you can about the particu-lar aggressive driving incidentthat you witnessed. Thisinformation will help the

police in monitoring high riskareas in our community. Tocomplete the report, includethe license number, the makeand colour of the vehicle, thelocation (as exact as possible)and the nature of the inci-dent. When you send in thereport, it is important thatyou sign it. This helps safe-guard the system againstabuse. Be assured that yourpersonal information is forstatistical use only and is heldin the strictest of confidence.Drivers reported will receive aletter from the police,describing the unsafe oraggressive driving incidentthat was witnessed. If a driveris reported more than once,the police will make personalcontact with that individualregarding the reported prob-lems in person or by tele-phone.

Subsequent offenses mayresult in enforcement action

by the police depending onthe severity of the incident.Remember, this is youropportunity to make ourroads safer – the same roadsyou use everyday.
