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 decision-making 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 new first level of our Bronze family and ability is the only prerequisite! Prior
training in our Canadian Swim Patrol program is an advantage but not a necessity.

Uxbridge Full Circle Jiu-Jitsu
Jiu-Jitsu is 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 could be a
dangerous situation. Classes for
men and women Age 12+ take
place on Monday and Wednesday
nights from 8:15 pm to 9:15 pm
at the Uxpool. Monthly fee $70.00. Stop by or call Rob Sparkes (905) 862-3407.
PADI and NAUI Sanctioned Underwater Diving Course. Scuba instructor Larry Olson,
Master Instructor, 35+ years experience, has certified over 400 students at Uxpool. Class
schedule is tailored to meet students' needs. Classes run Monday or Wednesday Nights

STREET SHOES
Persons wearing street shoes will not be permitted to enter change rooms or the pool

"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.

Lucy Maud
Montgomery,
Author of Anne of Green Gables
The Leaskdale countryside, Lucy Maud Montgomerys first home in Ontario, became a
place that she loved, and it inspired many of her novels. After moving from Prince Edward
Island in 1911 as the new wife of Rev. Ewan MacDonald, it was here that Montgomery
became a mother and wrote 11 of her 22 novels, creating new works centered on the
irrepressible Anne and creating the beloved character Emily. Our
season runs May to December. Come for a tour of the beautifully restored manse, stay
for one of our fabulous Luncheon Teas or attend one of our many special events.
Tours
Visit the home of LM Montgomery. Its the perfect place to visit with friends and family
interested in Uxbridge and Canadian history. A guided tour takes you to the church, the
manse, displays and a video. Visit the church where Montgomerys husband preached
to his Leaskdale congregation. Tour the beautifully restored manse where they raised
their two sons. Our gift shop offers books, dolls and other items of interest to Mauds
fans.
Tours $5 per adult, $2 per child, $10 per family.
Off season tours can be arranged by calling Melanie 705-228-8155
or Barb 905-852-3517. Site open on weekends May and June.

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"

Heritage Uxbridge
Historic Leaskdale Church
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 Townships 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 has been working closely 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.

Property Tax Information
The property taxes you pay each year to the Township of Uxbridge support the many
services provided by the Township and also contribute to the delivery of Regional and
Educational Services. As a result, the Township collects taxes not only for its services,
but also on behalf of the Region of Durham and the local school boards.
Tax Billings and Installment Due Dates
The Township issues two tax bills per year. The Interim bill is mailed in January each
year with installments due in February and April. The Interim bill is based on
approximately 50% of the previous years tax bill and is shown as a reduction on the
final tax bill. The final tax bill is mailed in May with the installments due in June and
September. In order to satisfy the taxes for your property for the entire year the full
amounts of both the Interim bill and the Final bill must be paid. The Township of
Uxbridge offers two PAP plans: Pre-Authorized Monthly Payment Plan - 11 payments
are withdrawn on the first business day of the months January through to November
(no withdrawal in December); OR Pre-Authorized Installment Payment Plan - 4
payments are withdrawn on the prescribed due dates noted on each tax bill. PAP
application forms are available at the Municipal Office and our website
www.town.uxbridge.on.ca - under Departments, Treasury.

ROAD WATCH
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.
Citizen Report Forms may be picked up at any of the following drop box sites:

As the spring weather arrives, residents are encouraged to be very cautious when
burning yard debris. The dried grass and the spring breezes can result in a controlled
fire becoming a large out of control fire in mere seconds. You may cause severe
damage to life and/or property and may be responsible for all fees to extinguish the
fire.
Modern building supplies and home furnishings have dramatically increased the
speed of fire spread in house fires, giving you less time to safely exit your home. It is
mandatory to have working smoke alarms on every level of your home. Check your
alarms monthly to ensure they are functioning properly.
The Township requires all persons who wish to have an open fire obtain a PERMIT,
comply with the Burning By-law No. 2007-209, and follow the requirements listed on
the back of the permit. Permits can be acquired at the Fire Department and Township
Office Monday to Friday 8:30 am-4:30 pm. The By-Law can be found on the Township
website. http://www.town.uxbridge.on.ca/fire
