Mayor’s Message

The “Trail Capital of Canada” signs are now up at all road entrances to our community and we as citizens of Uxbridge Township need to proactively celebrate this much deserved designation and get out and explore our wonderful trail system, inviting friends and neighbours to join us.

The Master Plan for the Kennedy House property has been completed and widely advertised and distributed including a special article in the Township’s July newsletter circulated with the Times Journal. After much discussion and debate the decision has been made to raise all the building on the site to give us a clean slate for future long term development of the site and to remove any vulnerability for ongoing operational and maintenance costs. The demolition contract will be awarded in August and site cleared by the end of September

We still plan to seek out a new name for Kennedy House and we will be looking to our community for ideas and suggestions so please keep this in mind and note down any ideas you may come up with.

There are many events and activities scheduled for people of all ages throughout the Township and we urge you to read the recreational guide thoroughly, select those that interest you and get involved.

Mayor Bob Shepherd

Please visit our new, vastly improved, website at www.uxbridge.town.on.ca

for more information on the many recreational opportunities available in the Township.

Uxpool offers free level assessments during any public swim to accurately tell you what swimming level you should register your child in. Uxpool offers the Red Cross Program featuring Preschool and Swim Kids programs for all ages.

Admission Standards for Public Pools“Admission Standards for Public Pools” were developed by the Office of the Coroner of Ontario to assist Lifeguards and Assistant Lifeguards in maintaining adequate surveillance over the whereabouts and the activities of young bathers while they are inside the pool enclosure. The Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care strongly support these recommendations for the purpose of preventing injuries and fatalities.

1. Children 5 years of age and younger must be accompanied by a parent or guardian 12 years of age or older. The parent or guardian is responsible for their direct supervision and must be in the water and within arms reach of the child(ren) at all times.

2. Children 6 to 9 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian 12 years of age or older. The parent or guardian is responsible for direct supervision & must be in the water. If the child can swim and pass a facility swim test, the parent or guardian does not have to remain within arms reach of the child, however, must remain in the pool enclosure to provide supervision of the children and remain in visual contact.

3. Children 10 years and older may swim without adult accompaniment.

The Music Hall has become the cultural centre of Uxbridge Township. Some of the varied forms of entertainment presented in the unique, beautiful building include excellent theatre groups, inspirational concerts, dance recitals plus Books & Author’s Nights.

Uxbridge Musical Scholarship FundThe Fund was established in 1998 with the intention of offering Scholarships to students progressing to post-secondary education and who will be pursuing Musical Studies as their main focus. Uxbridge winners are already studying as far away as British Colombia and Western

Ontario. The Fund was started when a few members of the local musical scene felt there was a need both to support young musicians and to provide some financial help. Candidates are required to be living or studying within the Township of Uxbridge boundaries and must be under the age of 25. Financial Support Continues to be generously given by local service clubs while local students and bands raise money by presenting concerts as well.

Details of the Fund itself can be obtained by contacting Anthony Holt at (905) 852-5970 or Lesley Joosten (905) 852-3243.

Here are a few of the outstanding entertainment groups that regularly appear at the Music Hall.

UXBRIDGE HERITAGE

T he T homas Foster MemorialThe Foster Memorial is located: 4 km north of Uxbridge on Durham 1 (Conc. 7) on the east side of the road. 9449 Regional Rd # 1, Uxbridge

The Thomas Foster memorial was built for $250,000 in 1936 on a hill in the countryside of Uxbridge Township. The Taj Mahal inspired its structure (Agra, India). The roof surfaces are copper tile, and the entrance doors, windows, tracery and all metal parts are bronze. The beautiful stained glass windows are the work of Yvonne Williams, and are of hand-painted, fired and leaded glass, the colour and designs are harmonious and are distributed so as to flood the interior with soft, colourful light. The 22kgold mosaics with also 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 floats water lilies and lily pads. In the general design of the floor beneath the great dome, the motion, typifying life, radiates from the Greek letters “Alpha and Omega” which in turn flank the “Chi Rho monogram in its early Byzantine form, the Laurel 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 gold cross on a rich blue ground. Circling the lower part of the dome, above the great arches in gold lettering on a field of graded blue mosaic is the inscription...

‘Take this my body for it is done and I have gained a new life, glorious and eternal’

Lucy Maud Montgomery at at Home in Leaskdale: a Centennial Celebration 2011

Join the Lucy Maud Montgomery Society of Ontario in 2010 and 2011 for our cultural events at the National Historic Leaskdale Manse and Church.

From 1911 to 1926, Montgomery wrote 11 books at the Manse including her sequels to Anne and her poetry book.From educational and cultural tours and programs to entertaining and enjoyable events, we have it all. Both sites are run by The Lucy Maud Montgomery Society of Ontario.All profits from all events go towards the restoration of both sites. A huge restoration project has begun on the interior of the Manse. The money came from a partnership of Parks Canada, Township of Uxbridge and the LMMSO. If you haven’t visited this National historic site, arrange a tour.The back section of the Manse will be restored with a partnership with the Trillium Foundation.

The historic church is beautiful. The interior is very much like it was for Maud’s husband, Reverend Ewen Macdonald’s sermons each Sunday.

Our displays and presentations give the details and background of Lucy Maud’s writing in Leaskdale and history of this hamlet.

**Tours are given throughout the summer Wednesday to Sunday or anytime of the year by appointment. Why not arrange a tour for friends and family?

Heritage Uxbridge

Heritage Uxbridge is a committee commissioned by the Uxbridge Council to act as an advocate for the preservation and conservation of heritage properties in the township.

The committee is made up of dedicated volunteers who carry out a number of on-going responsibilities throughout the year, working with the community and the township members assisting with and advising in 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. Further, the committee continues to maintain a close watch on the Pickering Airport lands, and will endeavour to help protect the Altona Inn and any properties of historica value found within that area. It also produced a Heritage District Sign Bi-law to help promote a heritage “look” in the downtown district and continues to recognise individual’s homes of heritage or cultural value through the Plaque Program.

This year an award called the “Heritage Appreciation Award”, has been established by the committee to recognize those individuals “for taking the initiative and action to preserve our past”. Three recipients, Strawberry Threads, Rutledge’s Jewellers and the Tin Mill have received this award This year we

will be awarding Heritage Farms.

The Heritage Sign By-law Guidelines is used as a reference to determine award recipients, and the boundaries include the entire township. Information about how to receive this award along with ideas on improving building facades, windows and general landscapes in keeping with a heritage appearance, can be found in the Heritage Uxbridge Sign Guidelines at the Township’s office.

2010 will also see the committee involved with the “Downtown revitalization”, project and those plans and policies that will guide the township with its development of the downtown core. Further, the committee continues to maintain a close watch on the Pickering Airport lands, and will endeavour to help protect any properties of historical and cultural value found within that area.

This year the community of Leaskdale and the Lucy Maud Montgomery foundation will see themselves proud, as its original Presbyterian church known mainly for its connection to Lucy Maud, has received a Provincial Heritage designation.

If you would like more information about this committee or have any questions about Heritage Uxbridge heritage, please contact Gail Pimm at [email protected].

WINTER SIDEWALK RESPONSIBILITIESBy-law 2008-160 of the Township of Uxbridge prohibits every owner and/or occupant of lands within the Township of Uxbridge from allowing snow and/or ice to accumulate on the sidewalk(s)

adjacent to their property and requires that all snow and/or ice be removed from the sidewalk(s) by 10 a.m.By-law 2008-160 also prohibits the depositing of snow and/or ice from private property onto Township roads.

MAILBOXESThe Township of Uxbridge would appreciate every resident checking their mailboxes before winter for rotten posts and to ensure the mailbox is securely attached to the post. By ensuring your mailbox is structurally sound, the probability of snow coming off the wing and plow in the winter and damaging your mailbox will greatly be reduced.

WINTER GARBAGE AND BLUE BOX COLLECTION TIPS1. Do not place your Blue Boxes, Green

Bins or Garbage on snow banks or on the road.

2. Put your waste containers out at the end of your driveway so they do not interfere with snow clearing equipment.

SNOW SAFETY Parents remind your children that it is dangerous to play or build forts in snow banks adjacent the roads. The snow plow operators may not see them. Children should never use streets and roads for sleeding or sled sown hills that enter onto a roadway or parking lot.

SAFETY AROUND SNOW REMOVAL EQUIPMENT Snow removal equipment use distinctive flashing blue lights to warn you that operations are underway. When these lights are on, slow down and stay well behind the plow to avoid flying snow and sand. Drive with you headlights on and avoid driving in the snowplow’s blind spots. If you must pass the plow, be sure there is enough visibility to avoid the snow coming from the plow’s blade.

Sunday morning at West Shore is a quiet day,You get out of bed and think of a wayTo put in the time of day.Church service is on the fourth fl oor, you know,You get a good welcome if you decide to go.Or you can sit in your room and read for a whileNo time to look at the walls and go senile.Monday morning starts early at 6:45,That’s when the day starts to come alive.I hear a knock on my door and wonder who’s thereWell of course it’s the lady from Community Care,She says, “Ross, get out of your bed,It’s time to shower and wash your head.”I get all freshed up and off I goTo the fi rst fl oor; its breakfast time, you know.I look out the window and the lake is quiet,But that’s where the motorboats have a riot.Along comes a waitress with a smile to say,“Hi Ross, what will you have today?”I have cereal and egg, toast and jam,That’s when I realize how full I am.I go back upstairs to room 221 where I reside.The view faces west where I look outside.I pick up a book, the fi rst one I see.It’s one I received from Memorial Library.I read for a while and got the hunch,It was nearly time to go for lunch.I can have soup and sandwich and maybe some custard,Or maybe a nice hotdog with relish or mustard.The day goes by and it’s time for supper:Five choices you can choose from as you wish,Just sit down to your favourite dish.Wednesday afternoon at the stroke of three,Its bingo time and we sit with glee.We yell out “Bingo” when they say B3.Once a month on fl oor three we celebrateWe hear music and songs and have birthday cake.We sing happy birthday to everyone there,Then wander off to go elsewhere.Every evening it’s bid euchre from seven ‘til nine,What a wonderful way to put in some time.On the fi rst week of April we plant fl ower seeds galore,Later in May we plant them outdoors.Well that’s how I spend my time at West Shore.I stop and wonder how I could ask for much more.
