It is my pleasure, on behalf of Uxbridge Township Council and Staff, to


present our Fall / Winter 2015-2016 Community Guide.
As fall approaches, it brings with it many exciting opportunities to
experience all sorts of wonderful recreational activities. Visit our trails
and experience the wonder of nature with spectacular Fall colours or
Winter opportunities. We are very excited about the wide variety of
programs that we are presenting to the public. We encourage you to get out and enjoy the activities in the
community. It is a wonderful way to become involved in everything that Uxbridge has to offer as well as meeting
new people.

UXBR DGE

Hundreds of kilometres of trails,

Countryside Trails

Countryside Preserve

Over 200 kilometres of trails run through Uxbridge Township including:


East Duffins Headwaters Area
Durham Regional Forest
Oak Ridges Trail
Trans Canada Trail
These countryside trails run through natural forested sections of the Township, with
great opportunities for hiking, walking, mountain biking, geocaching and equestrian.
Managed by a variety of trail partners, the countryside trails are growing, including
new off-road sections of the Trans Canada Trail, and enhancements to the network of
trails connecting south to the City of Toronto and Lake Ontario.

Visit this 140-acre preserve of rolling hills, woods, streams, ponds and meadowlands,
where the countryside meets the town at Concession 6 and Hwy 47. With art pedestals,
interpretive ecology displays, and over 6 km of trails, there is something for everyone at
the Countryside Preserve. Dont forget to visit the new Woodland Trail in the preserve.
And for you Tennis fans, there is a hidden tennis court in the Preserve too!

Town Trails

Geocaching

Uxbridge also boasts a host of urban and forest town trails connecting our
neighbourhoods..

Adult Fitness
AquaFit: Cardio and Strength Training:
Uxbridge Full Circle Jiu-Jitsu

A practical martial art that is a mix of Judo Throws, Karate Strikes, Aikido Joint Locks &
Pressure points, as well as ground-fighting techniques. Those that are familiar with
watching MMA fights on TV will recognize many of
these moves. Jiu-Jitsu is based on using an attackers
weight and strength against them. Therefore,
a small person, male or female, with Jiu-Jitsu
experience can overcome a much larger attacker
making it a very effective form of self-defense in
what would be a dangerous situation.

This low impact environment allows you to get your heart rate up, burn those excess
calories, and tone and shape your body. Great for core strengthening and no swimming
experience required! Aquafit is also great for cross training. Moving through the water
provides the perfect amount of resistive training and can prevent injuries and other aches
and pains. See Uxpool Fitness Schedule

Classes for Men and Women Age 12+ take place on Monday and Wednesday nights from
8:15 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. at the Uxpool. Monthly fee - $70.00. Stop by or call Rob Sparkes
(905) 862-3407.

Aquatic Wellness

Circuit Training (Uxpool Hall)

A combo class of both cardio and resistance exercises that uses


interval training for maximum results. Exercises are done in stations
individually with the session ending with a group exercise. Classes
can accommodate beginner to advanced fitness levels on Thursdays.

Swimming or Water Running:

Located in Uxbridge at
Uxbridge Health Centre (Rexall Plaza)
2 Elgin Park Drive, Unit B

Naturopathic Doctor, Valerie James,

Water running easily combines the cardiovascular benefits of aerobic conditioning with
enhanced flexibility and muscle balancing all in one high powered yet protective
workout. This is a sports oriented workout which is really easy to learn and provides a nohassle enjoyable workout. Running in water requires no swimming skills. Water provides
multidimensional resistance in a joint friendly way. It is an excellent low to non-impact
medium for cross training and the most suitable place for recovery and rehabilitation of
an injury. Water allows fitness levels to be maintained and can even increase fitness and
performance levels for the serious runner. See Uxpool Fitness Schedule for lane or public
swim times.

Uxpool: The Lifeguarding Experts

Water Rescue Awards

Canadian Swim Patrol

Patrol is a 3 level (Rookie Patrol, Ranger Patrol, Star Patrol) Pre-Bronze award
progression that delivers work hard/play hard training for skilled swimmers 9 12
yrs of age. Swim Patrol levels form a Pre-Bronze progression of enriched training for
young swimmers who are ready to go beyond lessons. Swim Patrol is designed to
be challenging but achievable with effort. Content is organized in modules (Water
Proficiency; First Aid; Recognition & Rescue) and participants can work on content
appropriate for their abilities, regardless of the level they are enrolled in.

This is the Pre-Bronze Medallion training standard and excellent preparation for
success in Bronze Medallion. Bronze Star is designed to deliver high performance
training for skilled pre-teens. Participants develop problem-solving and decisionmaking skills individually and with partners. They also learn CPR while developing
Water Smart confidence and the lifesaving skills needed to be their own personal
lifesaver. Bronze Star is the first level of our Bronze family and ability is the only
prerequisite! Prior training in our Canadian Swim Patrol program is an advantage

emergency procedures and teamwork. Lifesavers learn how to rescue a spinal
injured victim as well as multiple victim rescues.
Pre-requisite: Bronze Medallion

Step 4 NLS:
The National Lifeguard Service Award

This award builds on the fundamental principles taught in the previous lifesaving
awards. It is recognized as the standard of lifeguard performance in Canada. NLS
education is designed to develop a sound understanding of life guarding principles,
good judgment and a mature and responsible attitude towards the role of a lifeguard.

NLS Recertification Course
Candidates should be prepared for new standards to be evaluated. These include
timed items.

As of January 1, 2016, the Red Cross is eliminating the AWSI award and combining
the curriculum into a new Instructors Program. To help in this transition, UxPool will
be offering a combined AWSI and WSI during the Fall 2015. All components must be
taken at this time. For those students that already have their AWSI, they will only
need to attend the WSI weekend. This leadership course is designed to reinforce
Swimming skills and knowledge. It introduces the candidate to instructional models
and continues to develop leadership concepts. If you already have your AWSI, this
will be your last chance to do your WSI under the old program. If you cannot, you will
have to do the full instructor program during our spring session.
Pre-requisites: 15 yrs of age and Swim Kids 10. Current Bronze Cross is
recommended.

SWIM LESSONS: FREE LEVEL ASSESSMENT

Unsure what level your child is in? 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 a preschool and Swim Kids program
for all ages.

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 6 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 7 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 Thomas Foster Memorial was built for $250,000 in 1936 on a hill in the countryside
of Uxbridge Township. The Taj Mahal, which is just outside of Agra, India, inspired its
structure. 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
the late Yvonne Williams, and are hand-painted, fired and leaded glass. The colour and
designs are harmonious, and are distributed so that the interior is flooded with soft,
colourful light. The 22 karat gold mosaics also display a multitude of colours, and lend
an elegance to this magnificent building. The floors are made up of richly coloured
terrazzo and marble mosaics, filled with symbolic designs. Upon entering, one crosses
the River of Oaths, on which float water lilies and lily pads. The design of the floor
beneath the great dome suggests motion (which, in turn, symbolizes life), and this
motion radiates from the Greek letters for Alpha and Omega. These, in turn, flank the
Chi Rho monogram, which is displayed in an early Byzantine form. The laurel wreath
of victory over death encircles the centre 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
blue background. 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, glorious and eternal

When Annies husband John dies of leukemia, she and best friend
Chris resolve to raise money for a new settee for the local hospital
waiting room. They manage to persuade four fellow Womens
Institute members to pose nude with them for an alternative
calendar. With a little help from hospital porter and amateur
photographer Lawrence, the news of the womens charitable venture
spreads like wildfire, and hordes of press soon descend on the small
village of Knapeley in the Yorkshire Dales.

Heritage Uxbridge
Heritage Uxbridge is a
committee of dedicated volunteers commissioned by the Uxbridge
Council to act as an advocate for the preservation and conservation of heritage
properties in the Township and to advise on 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. The
committee also seeks to identify local structures for potential Ontario Heritage Act
designation.
A few years ago, an award called the Heritage Appreciation Award was established by
the committee to recognize individuals for taking the initiative and action to preserve
our past. This year we will continue to recognize local area Heritage Farms as well
homes of heritage or cultural value through the Pride Plaque Program. Working with
Council, we successfully identified the distinctive heritage district formerly known as
Gouldville by way of specially designed street signs. We have also been instrumental
in providing advice on the potential move of an OHA designated home to enable
development of land recently purchased on Mill Street.
The Heritage Sign Bylaw Guidelines are used as a reference and to help promote a
heritage look in the downtown district; information and ideas on improving building
facades, windows and general landscapes in keeping with a heritage

appearance
can be found at the Township Office. We also
continue to work with local businesses in adding
historic murals to their buildings, including
Vinces Market, Shoppers Drug Mart, Marks Work
Warehouse, A&W and PharmaPlus. We have
asked Council to be included in the redesign and
renovation of the Township Office sign.
Our committee worked with the Trails
Committee to procure funding from Metrolinx to
renovate the train trestle in an effort to restore
foot traffic in preparation for the Trans Canada
Trails 25th anniversary in 2017, which coincides with Canadas 150th anniversary of
Confederation.
If you would like more information about this committee or have any questions about
Heritage Uxbridge, please contact Pam Beach at pbeach@town.uxbridge.on.ca or

What is Road Watch?


A new community initiative designed to improve road safety by creating greater awareness
and giving residents an opportunity to participate in identifying and reporting dangerous
and aggressive driving in the Township of Uxbridge.
Why have Road Watch?
To help reduce Motor Vehicle Collisions and potential injuries and fatalities in the
Township of Uxbridge.
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 high risk for collision or injury.
How does Road Watch work?
Citizen Report Forms may be used any time you observe an act of aggressive driving.
Record as much information as you can about the particular aggressive driving
incident that you witnessed. This information will help the police in monitoring high
risk areas in our community. To complete the report, include the license number, the
make and colour of the vehicle, the location (as exact as possible) and the nature of
the incident. When you send in the report, it is important that you sign it. This helps
safeguard the system against abuse. Be assured that your personal information is
for statistical use only and is held in the strictest of confidence. Drivers reported will
receive a letter from the police, describing the unsafe or aggressive driving incident
that was witnessed. If a driver is reported more than once, the police will make
personal contact with that individual regarding the reported problems in person or
by telephone. Subsequent offenses may result in enforcement action by the police
depending on the severity of the incident. Remember, this is your opportunity to
make our roads safer the same roads you use everyday.
Online Citizen Report Form
You may access: www.drps.ca for a Road Watch link to report aggressive or careless
driving.
If you wish to drop off a written report, drop boxes are located at:
Uxbridge Library
Uxbridge Township Office
Uxbridge Arena
Uxbridge Pharmasave
Contact us:
Roadwatch@town.uxbridge.on.ca
905-852-9181 ext.298
Incidents of an urgent nature should be reported to the police immediately by dialing
911. If you have any questions regarding this program, please call: The Durham
Regional Police Service

IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM THE UXBRIDGE FIRE DEPARTMENT

Home Escape Planning

Carbon Monoxide Alarms


It is now law in Ontario to have a working Carbon Monoxide CO alarm outside
the sleeping area in your home. If you have separate sleeping areas located on
different levels of your home, you are required to install one CO alarm for each
of those areas. Protect your family from carbon monoxide the Silent Killer by
installing and replacing your CO detectors every 7 years or as recommended
by the manufacturer. When installing hard-wired CO detectors, homeowners
should look for models with battery backup protection which provides
uninterrupted protection during power outages. Combination Smoke/CO alarms
are available.

Smoke Alarms
Smoke alarm technology has come a long way. Newer models offer smaller
sleeker designs and added functionality. Some of these features include 10 year
tamper proof alarms for landlords, remote control hush, wireless interconnected
and smart technology alarms that can distinguish the difference between burnt
toast and a fast flaming fire. Some newer models can even send you a text
message. If your current smoke alarms need replacing, do some research and
pick a model that suits your needs. Hard wired smoke alarms must be replaced
with hardwired units. Make sure that you have one on every level of your home
including the basement.

56

Now that you have protected your home with the latest technology, what do
you do when the alarm sounds? Businesses and Schools practice smoke alarm
drills several times a year but we see a lot of complacency when it comes to
developing a home escape plan. This includes two ways out and a meeting
place. Practicing gives you the opportunity to customize your plan to suit your
needs. An example would be adding a smoke alarm in the bedroom of a sound
sleeper who cant hear the alarm in the hall.

Burning By-Law
Its that time of year again. Burning yard debris can be a convenient method
of cleaning up your property. It is important to consider wind and weather
conditions. Changing conditions can cause a small fire to quickly become out
of control. In the Township of Uxbridge you must acquire a burn permit and
operate within the rules of the By-Law 2007-209. Burn Permits are available at
the Township Office or Fire Department Monday Friday 8:30AM 4:30PM. The
Burning By-Law is available on the Townships webpage.
http://www.town.uxbridge.on.ca/fire
If you need help choosing the right alarms for your home or assistance
developing a home escape plan, give us a call.
