Mayors Message
it is my pleasure, on behalf of Uxbridge Township Council and staff, to present our fall/winter 2012 Community guide. This year, the Township Council formally created a Community health Committee, consisting of individuals representing many different aspects of health Care. The mission of this Committee is to actively promote Uxbridge as a healthy community, focusing on health related education, awareness, prevention and communication.
51 Toronto st. s., p.o. box 190, Uxbridge, ontario L9p 1T1 phone: 905-852-9181 fax: 905-852-9674 web site: www.town.uxbridge.on.ca general e-mail: info@town.uxbridge.on.ca office hours: Monday-friday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm
As a first step, in this edition, we have started a process of having a section devoted to community health awareness and communication topics. we have begun by listing the contact information for all the health-related services that currently exist in the community. over time, we will expand this to add more information about available programs and services. Uxbridge already has many great facilities to encourage healthy living and recreation. our goal is to build on those, and to identify where there are opportunities to be even better. i encourage you to be active, and be informed.

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 Uxbridges cultural heritage. further, the committee continues to maintain a close watch on the pickering Airport lands, and will endeavour to help protect any properties of historical value found within that area. it also produced a heritage district sign by-law to help promote a heritage look in the downtown district and continues to recognize individuals homes of heritage or cultural value through the pride plaque program. A few years ago, an award called the Heritage Appreciation Award was established by the committee to recognize those individuals for taking the initiative and action to preserve our past. several local businesses, including rutledge Jewellers and the Tin Mill, have received this award. This year we will continue to award local area 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 Townships office. 2012 will also see the committee continue with initiatives associated with the downtown revitalization project and the 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. Last year the community of Leaskdale and the Lucy Maud Montgomery foundation saw themselves proud, as its original presbyterian church known mainly for its connection to Lucy Maud, received a provincial heritage designation. if you would like more information about this committee or have any questions about heritage Uxbridge heritage, please contact pat Mikuse at prmikuse@sympatico.ca or robin Coombs at rcoombs@powergate.ca

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.
SNOW SAFETY
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 snowplows blind spots. if you must pass the plow, be sure there is enough visibility to avoid the snow coming from the plows blade.
PUBLIC WORKS
Streetlights
To report a streetlight out, contact Jo Ann Merrick at 905-8529181 ext 202 or email: jmerrick@town.uxbridge.on.ca
MAILBOXES
The 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.
EXPERIENCE
"ORGANIC"
1. 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.
