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 area 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 Uxbridge Library
development of land 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 of Uxbridge office. We also continue to work with local
businesses in adding historic murals to their buildings, including Vince’s Market,
Shoppers Drug Mart, Mark’s Work Warehouse, A&W and Rexall PharmaPlus. We have
asked Council to be included in the redesign and renovation of the Township Office sign.
