Heritage Uxbridge is a committee commissioned by the Council of theTownship of Uxbridge to act as an advocate for the preservation andconservation of heritage properties in the Township.

The committee is made up of dedicated volunteers who carry out anumber of on-going responsibilities throughout the year, workingwith the community and the Township members, assisting with andadvising in matters related to heritage and cultural aspects. In pastyears, the committee has developed and organized guided tours, andpublished articles and maps that help promote Uxbridge’scultural heritage. The committee also produced aHeritage District Sign By-law to help promote aheritage ‘look’ in the downtown district, andcontinues to recognize individual homes ofheritage or cultural value through thePride Plaque Program.

An award called the ‘HeritageAppreciation Award’ was establishedby the committee to recognize thoseindividuals “for taking the initiative andaction to preserve our past”. Threerecipients - Strawberry Threads,Rutledge Jewellers and the Tin Mill - havereceived this award. In 2013, thecommittee acknowledged and recognizedBlackburn Farms, a 6th generation farm in ourTownship. This year we will continue to award localarea Heritage Farms.

The Heritage Sign By-law Guidelines are used as a reference todetermine award recipients, and the boundaries include the entireTownship. Information about how to receive this award, along with

ideas on improving building facades,windows and general landscapes inkeeping with a heritage appearance, canbe found in the Heritage Uxbridge SignGuidelines at the Township’s office. In 2012, the community of Leaskdale and

the Lucy Maud Montgomery Societyproudly saw its original Presbyterian

church, known mainly for its connection toLucy Maud, receive a Provincial Heritage

designation.

Heritage Site: Foster Memorial

The Thomas Foster Memorial was built for $250,000 in 1936 on a hillin the countryside of Uxbridge Township. The Taj Mahal, which is justoutside of Agra, India, inspired its structure. The roof surfaces arecopper tile, and the entrance doors, windows, tracery and all metalparts are bronze. The beautiful stained glass windows are the work ofthe late Yvonne Williams, and are hand-painted, fired and leadedglass. The colour and designs are harmonious, and are distributed sothat the interior is flooded with soft, colourful light. The 22 karat goldmosaics also display a multitude of colours, and lend an elegance tothis magnificent building. The floors are made up of richly colouredterrazzo and marble mosaics, filled with symbolic designs.

Upon entering, one crosses the "River of Oaths", on which floatwater lilies and lily pads. The design of the floor beneath the greatdome suggests motion (which, in turn, symbolizes life), and thismotion radiates from the Greek letters for Alpha and Omega. These,in turn, flank the Chi Rho monogram, which is displayed in an earlyByzantine form. The laurel wreath of victory over death encircles thecentre motif. The bottom of the dome is pierced with 12 stained glass,leaded windows - one in the east contains a gold cross on a rich bluebackground. Circling the lower part of the dome is the inscription"Take this my body for it is done and I have gained a new life, gloriousand eternal"

What is Aggressive Driving?Aggressive driving is defined as excessive speeding, tail- gating,failure to stop and any other unsafe driving that puts others at highrisk for collision or injury.How does Road Watch work?Citizen Report Forms may be used any time you observe an act ofaggressive driving. Record as much information as you can about theparticular aggressive driving incident that you witnessed. Thisinformation will help the police in monitoring high risk areas in ourcommunity. To complete the report, include the license number, themake and colour of the vehicle, the location (as exact as possible) andthe nature of the incident. When you send in the report, it is importantthat you sign it. This helps safeguard the system against abuse. Beassured that your personal information is for statistical use only andis held in the strictest of confidence. Drivers reported will receive aletter from the police, describing the unsafe or aggressive drivingincident that was witnessed. If a driver is reported more than once,the police will make personal contact with that individual regardingthe reported problems in person or by telephone. Subsequent offenses may result in enforcement action by the policedepending on the severity of the incident.

As of December, 2013, the Provincial Government passed Bill #18,which makes carbon monoxide alarms mandatory in all Ontariohomes with fuel burning appliances indoors. The Fire Code will bechanged to reflect this Bill in the spring of 2014.The Uxbridge Fire Department responds to a number of CarbonMonoxide Alarms throughout the Township per year.

Our records indicate that the possible causes of these alarms can beattributed to:

• Vehicles left running in the garage or in thedriveway with the garage door and/or thedoorway from the garage to theresidence open or ajar.

• Faulty or damaged door sweepsand/or weather stripping, allowingCarbon Monoxide to enter thehome.

• A detector that has exceeded themanufacturer replacement date

• Faulty gas burning applianceand/or blocked appliance vent

Note: When using a generator during apower outage, please make sure the unit isoutside and away from windows and doorsso exhaust doesn’t enter the home.

To ensure a safe environment for you and your family we suggest thatyou take extreme care and refrain from idling a vehicle in the garageor driveway for an extended period of time.

The Fire Department also recommends that you inspect the doorsweep and weather stripping around the door from the garage toyour home and replace any damaged materials. In doing so, this willassist in preventing this dangerous invisible and odorless gas from

entering your home. Check Appliance vents. Alsocheck manufacturer’s replacement date and

replace as recommended.

If you have any questionsplease contact F.P.O.
