The Community Guide offers many opportunities for socialization

and recreation, both indoors and out. Our recreation department
has a wonderful selection of programming for families, kids and
adults alike. Our library runs interesting programs and activities
all winter long. Our many community groups and organizations
are always busy planning new activities and looking for new
members. Why not give a new sport or social group a try this
winter?

uxbridge fire department
IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM THE UXBRIDGE FIRE DEPARTMENT

Getting your heating appliances
ready for Fall / Winter
Each year, we as Canadians pack away our summer clothes, turn
off our AC units and start preparing for cooler weather. From a
fire safety perspective, it is important to have our appliances,
vents, and chimneys inspected and cleaned prior to use. Make
sure your furnace vents and clothes dryer vents are free and clear
of all debris. It is a good idea to have a professional service your
fuel burning appliances to ensure they are operating properly.
Chimneys should be checked and cleaned to ensure they are
structurally sound and there is no buildup of creosote. Creosote
is highly combustible substance caused by restricted air supply,
unseasoned wood and, cooler than normal chimney temperatures. If it builds up in sufficient quantities, the result could be a
chimney fire.
Carbon Monoxide Alarms

It is law in Ontario that homes with fuel burning appliances or
attached garages must have a working Carbon Monoxide (CO)
alarm installed outside the sleeping areas of the home. This
means that if you have bedrooms on different levels of the home,
you must have CO alarms placed on each level to accommodate
every bedroom or sleeping area. 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.
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 buttons, wireless interconnected and
smart technology alarms that can distinguish between burnt
toast and a fast flaming fire. Some newer models can send you a
text message if your alarm has activated. 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 a working smoke
alarm on every level of your home including the basement. New
homes built after 2015 must have smoke alarms and strobe lights
in every bedroom. The law does not apply to homes built prior
to 2015, but we always encourage people to place smoke alarms
in bedrooms for added protection, especially if you have sound
sleepers living in your home.
Home Escape Planning

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 and practicing a home escape plan. This includes two ways out of every
room and a meeting place. The meeting place lets you know
if everyone is out or if people are still in the home. Remember,
once you are out, stay out. Practicing at least once a year gives
you the opportunity to customize your plan to suit your needs
and accommodate any changes that have occurred in the household.
If you need help choosing the right alarms for your home or
assistance developing a home escape plan, give us a call.

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."

Montgomery became a mother and wrote 11 of her 22 novels,
creating new works centred 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, or

Tax Billings and Installment Due Dates

The Township issues two tax bills per year. The Interim bill is mailed
in January or February each year with installments due in February
and April. The Interim bill is based on approximately 50% of the
previous years tax rates and is shown as a reduction on the final bill.
The Final bill is mailed in May or June 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.
Payment Options
Pay Electronically:
Most financial institutions offer telephone or internet banking
mechanisms which facilitate easy and reliable bill payments,
including your property taxes. Check with your financial
institution for more details. You will require your property
assessment roll number noted on your tax bill to set up the
facility the first time you use it.
Pay by Mail:
To facilitate payment and avoid penalties for late payment, the
Township will accept cheques post-dated to the installment
dates. Cheques must be received in our office before the end of
the month, in order to avoid penalty charges. Cheques are made
payable to the Township of Uxbridge and should be mailed to:

ROAD WATCH
What is Road Watch?
A 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.
Report Aggressive Driving
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:

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 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.
Persons wearing street shoes will not be permitted to enter

change rooms or the pool deck. It is recommended that you
bring a change of shoes to enter the pool area.
Uxpool now has a new Universal change room suitable for families and special needs visitors. This co-ed change room has four
individual changing areas suitable for families or support staff.
PERSONAL BELONGINGS
Patrons using the facilities should not leave ANY valuables in
the change rooms. You may bring your own lock for your locker
for the duration of your swim.
SHOWER BEFORE SWIMMING

A thorough shower before you enter the pool will help keep the
water clean for your swimming enjoyment.
STROLLERS
Strollers are not permitted in the change rooms or on deck. If
you require one, please ask at the office and one will be provided for you (Limited strollers available)
FOOD AND BEVERAGES

Food and beverages are NOT permitted on the pool deck or in
the change rooms. The only exception made is non breakable
water bottles.
registration
TO DIAPER OR NOT TO DIAPER

We ask that disposable diapers are not worn into the swimming
pool. We request that those not toilet trained wear a swim
diaper that can be purchased at your local drug store or snug
fitting plastic pants under their bathing suit.
POOL FOUL/POWER FAILURE/

MAINTENANCE CLOSURE
The pool may close at an inopportune time due to a pool fouling, power failure, or mechanical/maintenance problem. When
this occurs, instructors will use the time to focus on water safety
components of instructional programs. Cancelled lessons cannot be made up and swim tickets will be issued.
FAMILY RATE
A family rate is defined as IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS (mother, father, children, step parents/children) living in the same
household.
SENIOR RATE

after discount date.
Program Cancellation/Revisions
Sometimes excellent programs, with super instructors are
cancelled when too many people wait until the last minute to
register. Our programs are based upon a cost recovery basis
and we need a minimum number of participants registered
before a camp/class can go on. A full credit will be provided if
the Recreation Department is responsible for program cancellations or changes. The Township of Uxbridge reserves the right
to cancel or revise any program in accordance with participant
requirements.
Returned Cheques
We know that mistakes sometimes happen, but it is necessary
to administer a $35.00 charge for returned NSF cheques. The
Township of Uxbridge reserves the right to cancel the registration or to revoke privileges until full payment is received.
Age of Participants
Most of our programs/swimming lessons are designed for a
specific age group. All participants must be the required age as
outlined in the guide as of the completion date of the program/
lesson. Camp programs are based on age of participant in the
current calendar year.
Special Needs
If you or your child requires special assistance for one of our
programs please let us know and we will try to accommodate
your needs. For more information please contact Carolyn
Clementson at 905-852-7831. One month notice is needed for
Special Needs Support Worker.
Code of Behavior
The Township of Uxbridge endeavors to provide the highest level of safety and enjoyment to all participants and staff
members for the duration of its leisure programs/aquatic lessons. These guidelines have been developed to ensure that all
involved are aware of acceptable behavior. Coarse language,
bullying, vandalism, physical and aggressive behavior will be
recorded, reported and may result in the removal from the leisure program/aquatic lesson or facility.
For Everyones Health & Safety
If a participant has a communicable disease (e.g. Chicken Pox,
etc.) or a current public health concern we would ask that the
participant not attend leisure programs, swimming lessons or
public swimming. Participants are welcome to return to the
leisure program/aquatic lesson when they are healthy. Parents
should be aware that the Child & Family Service Act requires
that any suspicion of child abuse be reported immediately to
the Childrens Aid Society.
SERIOUS MEDICAL CONDITIONS

Those with serious medical conditions should be accompanied
by an individual, who is knowledgeable of their condition.
Please notify staff on duty of your condition.

classes cancelled due to weather conditions or maintenance
breakdowns or other unforeseen circumstances.
Refunds or Transfers
a. A full refund is available if the program you choose is cancelled. Request for refund will not be accepted after the first
lesson unless accompanied by a medical certificate. We regret
participants receive no refund if the cancellation affects minimum class numbers or the request is past the fourth lesson.

department receives written notification. Verbal notification will

Extensions will only be given for illness and extended absence.
The member must be ill for a minimum of 2 weeks. A doctors note may be required at the discretion of the Aquatic
Coordinator. An extended absence is a minimum of 3 weeks
regardless of type of membership. One extended absence extension is permitted per membership.
PHOTOGRAPHY/VIDEOTAPING/
PHOTO CELLPHONES
Due to the new privacy laws, the use of cameras and video
recorders must be arranged with the office supervisor prior to
the event. ALL CELL PHONES MUST BE TURNED OFF AND NOT
USED IN THE CHANGE ROOMS. Unless parent/guardians indicate
otherwise, The Parks & Recreation Department will assume permission is given for any pictures taken during any Department
program to be used to promote Recreation programs.
WEATHER CONDITIONS
Participants are encouraged to dress appropriately and be prepared for diverse weather conditions during the course of the
selected program. Severe weather conditions are taken into
consideration when planning programs. Programs will be altered
if the need arises. Indoor facilities are usually available for all programs unless otherwise specified.
LATE PICK UP FEE POLICY

Extended care is available for camp programs. Participants must
sign up in advance for staffing purposes. Please check/confirm
your pick up times with your counsellors. An extended care fee
will be charged if you are late picking up your child.
STAFF TRAINING
All Department staff receives training in the Township of
Uxbridges Policies, Procedures and relevant legislation prior to
beginning work.
LOST AND FOUND

Participants in Department programs are responsible for their
own articles. It is strongly recommended that no valuables or
money be brought to any program. The Township of Uxbridge is
not responsible for any lost or stolen items. The Lost and Found
is located at the Uxbridge Pool.
Swim to Survive
The UxPool offers training in the
Swim to Survive Program for all
Grade 3 students in North Durham.
Our ability to offer this program is
through a generous grant from the Lifesaving Society of Ontario. The
UxPool donates the use of the pool and any extra costs are offset by a
nominal fee that students are charged.
The program consists of learning the following items so that students
can survive an unexpected fall into water:
Roll into Deep Water
Tread 1 minute
Swim 50 meters
Students participate in 3 lessons at the pool with in-class information
taught by the teacher as part of the Health curriculum. All
components meet the Ministry of Education guidelines.
The Swim to Survive program is NOT a replacement for regular
swimming lessons. The program teaches personal water survival
skills. Please register in swimming lessons to ensure that your child
becomes a strong swimmer.
