Notice to GTA — Highway 6 Is Not Your Personal Racetrack

New Provincial signage reinforces the local OPP detachment’s efforts to keep Highway 6 safe. A record number of stunt-driving/racing charges have been laid on Highway 6 on the Peninsula this summer. As Sgt Wayne Thompson told MNBP Council on July 25, “We need to get the message out in the GTA — Highway 6 is not your racetrack.” At that time the detachment had already laid 17 stunt driving charges; the total had risen to 34 as of August 29.

Stunt driving is defined as 50km/hr over the limit, which would mean 130km/hr on Hwy 6. Vehicles involved are impounded and towed away. The driver and passengers then have to find a way home.

consultation was held at the Community Centre in Lion’s Head concerning the future of Isthmus Bay Road. The meeting’s chair person was Deputy Mayor, Patricia Greig. The engineer representing the GSS company was Ross Slaughter P. Eng. Also present was Councillor Tom Boyle and Public Works Manager Bill Rydall along with assistant Troy Cameron. Letters had been mailed to approximately 124 property owners notifying them that “a Class Environmental Assessment to evaluate alternatives for the Isthmus Bay Road Improvement is underway. This study is being conducted following the planning and design process of the Municipal Environmental Assessment for Road Projects.” Over 30 property owners were present and had the opportunity to view, before the commencement of the meeting, some display information about identified problems, definitional topographical measurements of rural and urban roads and the road improvement process and the procedures.

This was also an opportunity for people to ask questions about the process and what options were available and how open-minded the engineers and municipality would be to alternative ideas.

Lion’s Head Volunteer Firefighters Association would like to thank all those who donated to the Civic holiday fireworks

this year. Unfortunately, Mother Nature pointed the winds in the wrong direction and the fireworks show had to be cancelled. Next year is the 100th anniversary of Lion’s Head. With that in mind, and with the cancellation of this year’s show, we hope to have a spectacular fireworks show in 2017! A special thanks goes out to all the local businesses for supporting our community.

heat, however the community park on Centennial Drive in Tobermory has been a hot spot for recreation and enjoyment this summer for those braving the sun. We have some news, updates and photos to share with the community.

Some of you may have noticed new blue and green picnic tables and bike racks recently installed at the park. Thanks to the Community Foundation of Grey Bruce for funding and municipal staff for installing the equipment. These tables are made of fully weather-proofed materials and the colours are really vibrant. If you look carefully, the green square table near the gardens is wheelchair accessible. Six benches will be installed around the access path once the dog park construction is completed, giving seating for folks watching both skatepark fun and activities at the dog park.

This year the Community Gardens was expanded and two new families took on the new 4x8 raised gardens, joining seven returning gardeners from last year. St. Edmund’s School students and teachers planted the new “Pumpkin patch” gardens in June with a nice variety of pumpkin and squash seeds. The community gardeners installed a container and sack garden section and a huge tomato garden. With a concerted watering effort from a roster of volunteers, including the children from Primary Place Day Care, the gardens have done well and produce such, as onions, broccoli, baby bok choy, kale, spinach, swiss chard and lettuce were early crops. Now the carrots and beans, tomatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, peppers and cucumbers will be soon ready. Everyone has benefitted from a year’s experience with the square foot gardening method and regular garden tips from

Summer Activities At The Meeting Place Community Park In Tobermory

Jacqui Wakefield. Thanks Jacqui. It’s amazing how much fresh and healthy p roduce can be grown in these small compact spaces. We look forward to the fall harvest and if you have some time take a walk through the gardens, but please do not pick or disturb the plants without permission from the gardeners.

Weather has played a role in slowing down dog park construction but the perimeter is starting to take shape. Branches are trimmed and trees in much of the dog park area have been preserved. Next step is to finish the fencing.

Despite the heat there have been many visiting children and youth at the Skatepark this summer; some are returnees from last year and others are finding out about Tobermory’s Great Wave Community Skatepark on-line. Stay tuned for fall activities for our local youth and the community park is again hosting the Terry Fox Run on Sunday September 18th.

In the late winter of 2016, staff and Board at The Meeting Place circulated an on-line survey asking the public to comment on the community park development to date. Fifty-seven people responded. Awareness of the community park and its recreation components ranged from 82% for the outdoor fitness equipment to 100% for the skatepark. We asked if people liked what has been done with the development of the community park to date and over 80% responded positively. There continues to be some concern about utilization of the park, which is a valid question for many amenities and public

services in any rural area. Even though the recreation amenities are not yet complete, this year’s promotion has been shared among Tobermory residents, The Meeting Place and the Skatepark Committee, the Municipality and Chamber of Commerce Visitor Centre and Bruce County’s Explore the Bruce Adventure Passport. We think this is pretty amazing support to ensure the use and enjoyment of this local public space as it grows.

Another concern voiced by one respondent, but probably is in the minds of a few more, was the use of taxpayer dollars. Investment in this community recreation space has come from all sectors including donations from business and residents, grants and municipal support. The contribution from MNBP comes in at about twenty-two percent. This kind of shared municipal support is common to recreation projects across the province, where both city and rural municipalities have the mandate to provide recreation opportunities to their population. Some of the differences in quality and choice in recreation across communities has to do with the contribution of the voluntary sector in raising funds, securing grants and doing hands on work above and beyond the generous municipal contribution. This is the story behind our community park initiative.

A good question raised from the survey, is whether a community park

is needed when we live so close to a national park. While we live in a natural environment, prime for hiking, swimming, boating, birding etc., the community park is designed as an outdoor built recreation space that offers recreation activities not specifically found in the natural environment. The philosophy behind a built park is about creating more choices for people of all ages to be active.

Thanks to those who completed the survey which provided thoughtful feedback to volunteers who have given their time to the park this year and others who are part of the on-going development. The full report and discussion on the Results of the Community Park survey can be found on The Meeting Place website www.tobermorymeetingplace.com.

The Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula’s August 22 meeting was largely routine — A Committee of Adjustment Meeting for a (very) minor variance, a delegation from the County about the Bruce County 150 celebrations next year, a number of Agenda items passed without comment, briefs noted and filed.

The Building Inspector’s department has been expanded with the much needed hiring of two part-time Inspectors, with specific areas of expertise.

But there was one item that generated a lively discussion.

The staff report in the Agenda states that the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund is being expanded “...to allow small communities to bring their total OCIF funding up to $2 million over two years to insure that all communities have the opportunity to address larger, critical infrastructure projects.” This funding is available to all municipalities that receive less than $2 million over the

MNBP Council August 22 Recap: A $2 Million Wish List2016-17 and 2017-18 years under the existing formula-based program. MNBP is currently receiving $39,000 per year under the formula-based program.

This is pretty exciting stuff — $2 million is a lot of money.

The staff report notes that applications must be submitted by October 21, 2016. It suggests three projects: Barrow Bay North Shore Road improvements, Ira Lake Road improvements, including replacement of the bridge over Spring Creek, and improvements to the Municipal Sewage Lagoon at Tobermory.

Council had received a public suggestion that Johnsons Harbour Road be considered for health and safety reasons, in that it receives heavy usage when Highway 6 is blocked. This suggestion was discussed and rejected — work is already underway on that road and the next stage is not shovel-ready. The Environmental Assessments are already in place for the three recommended projects.

Councillor Tom Boyle noted that Ira Lake Road is also an alternative route for Highway 6, and as currently configured, would be dangerous if subjected to heavy traffic. Councillor Rob Rouse agreed,

noting that Johnsons Harbour Road is in much better shape since the recent improvements. Deputy Mayor Patricia Greig, who was chairing the meeting in the Mayor’s absence, wondered if Isthmus Bay Road could be included in the discussion, given the urgency of the improvements needed there. Councillor Boyle suggested that the staff recommendations should stand. He stated that there are some projects — bridges, for example — that are so expensive that it’s hard to get ratepayers to agree to pay for them. Roads are easier. Deputy Mayor Greig recommended that Council wait a few weeks for more information to emerge about the Isthmus Bay Road project.Councillor Griffin Salen agreed that bridge funding should be a priority, but was willing to wait one more meeting before making the decision. The matter will be deferred until the next meeting, on September 12.

Consultation Underway For Isthmus Bay Road Improvements

Isthmus Bay Road: a narrow roadway must accommodate two-way traffic plus pedestrians, cyclists, Bruce Trail hikers plus parking on both sides of the road.

As one of the Bruce Peninsula’s most scenic drives, Isthmus Bay Road will likely see more and more traffic, especially hikers and cyclists.

R o s s S l a u g h t e r e x p l a i n e d the Environmental Assessment was mandatory before anything else could be considered, even financing of the project. This is phase 1 and 2 to establish what needs to be done and for public input. Social, environmental and financial impacts were discussed and are important considerations during the planning. Everything was talked about in general terms as no specifics have been cemented at this early stage.

The minimum alternatives that will be considered are the following:

1. Upgrade the Isthmus Bay Road to the rural standards.

2. Upgrade the Isthmus Bay Road to an urban standard with curb and gutter and storm sewers.

3. Upgrade the Isthmus Bay Road to

reduce flooding problems.

4. Do nothing.

“Communal water services from Lion’s Head will be considered as an option, while road improvements are being made to reduce the cost of communal water services to this area, if desired.” Mayor Milt McIver stated at the Isthmus Bay Property Owners’ AGM that the municipality would not force water onto the residences of Isthmus Bay Road. Cost saving figures are not available at this time.

Ross Slaughter explained that after public input the 4 alternatives would probably change. A “Comment Sheet” has been made available to send written comments to Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula by the deadline of Sept. 2, 2016. That is 3 weeks from the Aug. 12th meeting.

The next public meeting will be in October or November. One seasonal property owner was concerned that this would happen during a time when they would not be here. Other seasonal people may have the same concern.

The middle section of Isthmus Bay Road will pose the greatest challenge to the engineers as it narrows, encroachments have occurred and some properties have inadequate parking on their properties and park beside the road.

All in all it was a good first meeting and all property owners are strongly urged

Continued from page 1

to complete the comment sheet and send it to MNBP. Patricia Greig has been asked to post this “Comment Sheet” on the MNBP web-site along with the identified problems. It would be a real bonus to be able to fill the comments onto the sheet electronically on the MNBP web-site.

There will be lots of consideration to be made but hopefully the road, when completed, still remains a winding scenic route with the cottage flair and not a road where speeding is facilitated.

In response to crowding and traffic chaos at the height of tourist season on the Peninsula, Brad Inglis muses about the possibility of a ‘welcome centre’ 20 kilometres south of Tobermory - that big empty lot at the junction of Highway 6 and Dyers Bay Rd. might be just the place. Travelling north, local residents and cottage owners – holders of a special ‘pass’ – would be allowed to sail through, while all others would be ‘paused’, that is to say ‘stopped’, so they can be ‘well educated’ as to how to behave once they arrive in ‘our little piece of paradise’.

First, let me state the obvious: No one owns the Peninsula as a whole; it is not ‘ours’. A ‘little piece of paradise’ it may be, but the place emphatically does not belong to those who happen to live or own vacation property here. On the flip side, visitors do not need to ‘feel’, as Inglis puts it, that ‘they have been given permission’ to be here, because permission to travel freely across this land is already granted to all citizens and international visitors alike.

A ‘welcome centre’, where everyone except residents and cottage owners are ‘paused’, sounds more like a check-point to me. Would staff be able to communicate in an array of languages? Will every person on a bus be individually ‘educated’ or will a ‘welcomer’ deliver a group message. (If I were on the bus, I’d be like: ‘Yeah, whatever... can we get going now?’)

Imagine the bottleneck, backlog and confusion as thousands of drivers (except for privileged pass holders) are required to pull off and then re-enter the highway. Maybe some will be so put off by the idea of continuing north they’ll turn around (after a quick pit-stop in the ‘welcome centre’s sparkling new washrooms) and go somewhere else, wondering as they leave why they were ‘paused’ and others weren’t.

Yes, visitor numbers have ballooned;

Letter: Building A ‘WELCOME CENTRE?’ - Another Viewand no, the Parks and Tobermory were not adequately prepared. If Tobermory were a waterside village anywhere in Europe, it’s safe to say that Bay St. from Hwy 6 to the LCBO would be for pedestrians only. That would help. How about an enormous parking lot just outside of the town with (free?) non-stop electric shuttle buses - or fun open-sided trains! - carrying people calmly and quietly into the centre?

Several uniformed traffic guards would be a great idea, directing big boat-towing vehicles safely to and from the launch ramp, and perhaps preventing hapless strollers, intent on finishing their ice-cream, from being knocked over by Mr. and Ms. Kayakhead. Garbage? I’m picturing more and larger trash bins around town, emptied frequently

throughout the day – perhaps by someone driving a small electric vehicle pulling a trailer.

The Peninsula, and by extension Tobermory, has repeatedly – and apparently very effectively - invited the whole world to visit, and like so many other touristic hot-spots it is now the victim of its own success for a while each summer. But, realistically, how would stopping thousands of cars and having a little chat with their occupants help the

situation?

I’m sure that many local residents and cottagers have already figured out that the best time to head into town - and get the heck out - at the height of summer is as early as possible on a weekday morning. Some may be ‘wringing their hands’ at the seasonal crowding; at the same time, others are rubbing their palms together for another reason altogether - funny how these things work.

Patrick Lima

Northern Bruce Peninsula ’s Economic Development Committee has arranged for a study to be done this year.

WCM Consulting has been hired to sample public opinion and develop a set of recommendations as to the best way forward. WCM scheduled three public meetings — one on June 9 for businesses and two for the general public, one on August 8 in Tobermory, the other on August 9 in Lion’s Head.

All three meetings were run by George Schrijver of WCM. The technique used was to make notes on a large pad of paper as ideas were suggested, then stick all the notes up on a wall and give everybody three coloured stickers to mark their priorities.

The first meeting was held in June so as to catch the business owners before their season got too busy for meetings. The two “general public” consultations were held on weekdays in August, to accommodate seasonal residents.

Attendance was surprisingly light, given the importance of the issues under discussion.

About 40 people came out for the June 9 meeting — mainly owners and managers of businesses. They were divided into four groups. The groups produced surprisingly different priorities.

Three strategies were identified as the best ways to grow our economy: • expanding tourism beyond summer, • enticing an industry to set up here, and • facilitating home-based professionals.

A few ideas received wide support: • National Parks should be open year-round. • Get Northern Designation from province. • Need sewers, water, better internet. • Reduce red tape for business start-ups. • Have a long-term plan in place.

Participants were not able to offer a clear idea as to how we might attract new industries. A strategy for attracting e-commuting professionals would begin with excellent high-speed internet.

Public Consultation on Economic Development Draws Very Small Crowds and No Seasonal Residents At All

Photo: George Schrijver of WCM Consulting discusses the priorities indicated by participants in the meeting at Lion’s Head Arena.

After the round table session identified and listed concerns, participants at the consultations indicated their priorities with coloured dots: the red dot for their highest priority, the green for their second and the yellow for the third. Photo Above: Economic Development Committee Chair Rob Secco explains how to indicate your priorities with the coloured stickers.

The Aug 8 public meeting in Tobermory attracted about 30 people; the vast majority were seniors.

The public meeting in Lion’s Head drew barely a dozen people; almost all of them came with clear objectives or responsibilities and the majority had also attended the previous night’s meeting in Tobermory.

Attendees at both meetings included Mayor Milt McIver, Deputy Mayor Patricia Greig, Councillor Tom Boyle, members of St Edmunds Property Owners’ “Keep the Bruce Clean and Green” initiative, members of Peninsula Action Committee on Education, members of the MNBP Economic Development Committee and, of course, your humble scribe.

Maintaining the quality of our environment was the highest priority at both meetings, but I got a sense that this meant different things to different people. Concerns varied from cottage septic systems to wind turbines to forest connectivity to overcrowding to waste management.

Two other, linked themes came up as priorities at all three meetings: the need to attract knowledge-based businesses and professions to our communities and the need for high-speed internet to accommodate them.

Another linked issue is the need to maintain our schools as the core of community culture.

The Lion’s Head meeting turned into a very thoughtful round table discussion on the future of tourism and the overlapping priorities of daytrippers, campers, cottage renters, cottage owners, residents and would-be residents.

I live on Dunks Bay Road, next to the public beach. Like most public areas, 95% of the public do a great job cleaning up after themselves. For the remaining 5%, our beach is fortunate to have people like Bonnie Hall and Hugh Campbell.

Bonnie, a beach resident, makes one or two daily trips through the beach and parking lot picking up garbage. Hugh makes several cleanup trips to the area weekly, occasionally after volunteering at

Letter: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly At Dunks Bay Beach

the thrift store. The beach would not look nearly as good without them. Their efforts take care of the obvious surface garbage, but don’t touch buried cigarette butts and charcoal briquets. For that we need the 95% to speak up and shame the violators.

Finally, I can’t imagine what the area would look like if the dumpsters were removed, leaving no one a place to put their garbage!

Dear Editor,

We are the Kristofersons of London and Tobermory.

Paul and I have been coming to the Bruce since we were children and this year we celebrate our 60th years of life on this wonderful planet.

As a child I once attended a one room school, housing eight class grades, smiling children, an amazing teacher and a big school bell that brought us into class each morning.

While travelling years ago in the south, I came upon a village just outside of Chimney Rock, N. Carolina and a blacksmith who forged bells. His bells reminded me of my time in that one room school, so I purchased one and hauled it back to Canada.

Letter: Criminal Behaviour And The Sadness Those Actions LeaveMy husband Paul spent a few days

building and painting a bell tower for my bell and placed it in the front yard of our beloved cabin in the village of Tobermory. We’re tucked in a ravine down below the traffic in a quiet space filled with ancient cedars, water ways and nature. Each time I passed my bell I smiled at the thought of happy memories revisited.

On the night of August 8th the bell tower was carried to the top of our lane and the bell removed and taken. The tower itself was thrown down the ravine at the back of Much More Camping’s property and damaged. Tools were required to remove the bell and it had to take at least two people to carry the tower up off our property.

Paul found the tower in the morning

missing its bell. My heart fills with sadness at the loss of my bell, for the people who victimized us for what I presume was a lark (just because they could) and most of all for the parents and friends of these cowardly and sad criminals.

Our quiet and safe retreat has become just a little less safe due the actions of these careless and heartless

people.

So if one of your kids comes home with a large black bell, do yourself and your child a favour, make them accountable.

Respec t fu l l y submi t t ed f o r consideration and print,

The Kristofersons of London and Tobermory

I am responding to the submission from the “Friends of Bruce District Parks” on “The Future of Singing Sands”. The Friends’ support of Parks Canada’s refusal to gate motor vehicle access at Singing Sands, after hours, during the peak visitation period is indicative of the “Friends” blind acceptance of Parks management’s platitudes.

Last year the Parks/Community Committee offered a solution to Parks Canada that would control unlawful camping, f ires, & associated late night trespass on adjacent ratepayers properties. The solution proposed that Parks erect a gate at the entrance to the “Singing Sands” day use area, to be closed at night during the peak visitation periods (could be left open during the shoulder seasons). This would entail having Parks Staff sweep & clear vehicles out late evening, (10 pm) prior to closing the gate, then re-opening the gate in the morning (5 or 6 am). This solution was presented several times at Parks/Community Committee meetings as a viable method to most effectively curtail illegal activity. Parks Canada management were not warm to the proposal. The meetings were

Letter: Re: Friends of Bruce District Parks on “Future of Singing Sands”only attended by Parks “spokespersons” who had no authority to make decisions. The committee was obliged to wait months between meetings to receive a response from a “decision maker”.

I will share the various reasons given by Parks management over the year, as to why they will not entertain gating motor vehicles out of Singing Sands at night, during the summer, when un-staffed.

The first reason given was that gating motor vehicles from the site at night would be “unwelcoming to visitors”. Point Pelee National Park gates out vehicles nightly at 10pm, & these gates are opened every morning at 5 or 6am, 365 days a year. There is no concern there that late night vehicle operators approaching a closed gate may feel “un-welcome”.

Parks Canada’s second reason offered that gating would somehow prevent “special interest groups” such as “star gazers” from access. This does not present a problem at Point Pelee NP. Special interest groups were simply provided with a gate key if they required after-hours access. I would suggest that by continuing to allow random vehicle access

after dark, headlights circling the parking area would blow out star gazers night eyes & spoil their experience. Individual “star gazers” would only have to move 100 metres beyond closed gates to have un-interrupted night sky.

A third Park argument was that “people will enter even if the entrance is gated”. That is potentially true, however, the gate is meant to only exclude motor vehicles. My experience has demonstrated that those engaged in illegal activity after hours in parks were loath to be removed any distance from their motor vehicles.

A fourth Parks “rationale” for not gating Singing Sands was that there were “no staff available to either close or open the gate” during the summer. Point Pelee NP is somehow able to find staff members to operate a number of gates, twice daily, year round.

Finally, in the last Parks/Community Committee this spring, the Acting Park Superintendent attended as the decision maker. The reasons for gating were reviewed & a decision requested. The response was “no”, Parks would not be gating Singing Sands. A workable, in-

expensive solution was offered to Parks Canada to solve a chronic problem of “after hours” trespass & site degradation with associated complaints & “overtime officer callouts”. Parks dismissal of this solution involved months of obfuscation & invalid excuses, & finally simply “no”. I can only conclude that Parks Canada, for reasons unknown, will not entertain adoption of problem solutions offered by those other than members of their management team.

The incremental changes made by Parks Canada since 2015 to visitor management at Singing Sands may be heading in the right direction, however Parks needs to openly manage the ongoing visitor crisis with greater urgency & more sincere cooperation with partners. Parks Canada must genuinely follow their protection mandate (& not simply give it “lip service”), & honour the Municipal, Provincial, Federal Agreement, that allowed the establishment of these National Parks.

Submitted by Shirley TeasdaleIt has been a long time in coming,

but the eagerly anticipated refurbished Hyperbaric Chamber is finally installed at the Tobermory Health Centre and is serving patients. However, getting it there has been a rocky road for Dr. George Harpur and his colleagues.

According to Dr. Harpur, several years ago he and his team became aware that there was an older, but larger Hyperbaric Chamber available than the one currently housed in Tobermory. At this time it was basically sitting unused behind one of the Seneca College campuses in the Toronto area.

“We knew that at some point a new medical facility would be built in Tobermory so we tried to acquire this larger machine, but it appeared that somehow the records necessary for selling the unit had been lost,” said Dr. Harpur. “Fortunately, after about two years, the records were found by a secretary. It seems that the reason the records were lost was because the serial number given to the file was one digit different from the actual number so the records had not been filed in the correct place.”

The next challenge, of course, was to find the money to buy and renovate the unit to present day standards, and that is where the community rose to the challenge. The team started out looking for $150,000 and the community responded with donations. The Ferndale, Lion’s Head & District Lioness club contributed

Lioness Club Donates To The Hyperbaric Chamber Medical Facility

Photo: Bev Miller, Treasurer of the Ferndale, Lion’s Head & District Lioness Club delivers a cheque for $3,000 to Dr. George Harpur and Technician Paul Zimmerman as a donation from the Lioness Club for the acquisition and refurbishing of the new Hyperbaric Chamber recently installed at the Tobermory Medical Facility. The cheque represents part of the funds raised at the 2016 Annual Lioness Golf Tournament held at Cornerstone Golf Club in Tobermory in June. This is the second donation from the Lioness club. Last year the club donated a cheque for $5,000 that was raised at the 2015 Lioness Golf Tournament. The Hyperbaric Chamber fund needs a further $10,000 to complete the project.

$5,000 in 2015 and also presented a second cheque for $3,000 in early August from funds raised at the 2016 Annual Lioness Golf Tournament held at the Cornerstone Golf Club in Tobermory in June of this year. The fund still needs $10,000.

The team finally acquired the larger Hyperbaric Chamber a couple of years prior to the new Tobermory medical centre being built and opened for business in 2012.

The team is now waiting to see if the original Hyperbaric Chamber, installed in Tobermory in 1976, can be sold to a Dive School.

The newly installed unit caters to pretty much all of Southwestern Ontario on referral from a patient’s physician.

While the original purpose of a Hyperbaric Chamber was to treat medical emergencies incurred by divers, it has now been found that the treatment can help radiation sores in patients undergoing cancer therapy, as well as sores caused by diabetes. There is some thought that the unit may one day treat concussions, but there is not yet sufficient data available to ensure that such a treatment would be helpful.

The larger unit can accommodate four patients at the same time, providing they all need to be in the chamber for the same time frame. Patients sit on seats on each side of the chamber and are taken down to a simulated 45 feet below the

surface where they breathe pure oxygen. They are given five minute breaks from the oxygen until brought back to the surface.

The team is staffed by Dr. George Harpur, as well as Hyperbaric Technicians, Rod Anderson, Paul Zimmerman and Jay Souder.

Submitted by Gloria CharltonThis lovely garden is situated behind

Christ Church Anglican and its Parish Hall on the Main Street in Lion’s Head. It is easily accessible with a hand rail and seat benches top and bottom (generously donated by two parishioners!). The MSG property was donated by Harold and Niki Forbes and family. The MSG has gone through required Municipal and Provincial approvals to now be a licensed cemetery for the sole purpose of scattering human cremated ashes. A large unique stone monument, from one of our local quarries, will soon be displaying, on individual plaques, the names of those whose ashes are scattered in the MSG. The MSG is open to ALL faiths in the community (or no denomination), to provide a sanctuary where families and friends can reflect in peace and tranquility when honouring the memory of a loved one whose cremated ashes are present.

With each scattering of human cremated ashes, it is essential that anyone requesting to scatter, first contact either The Rev. Chad Honneyman (519-534-0916) or Gloria Charlton, MSG Board Chairperson (519-793-6093), in order that the legally required recorded papers are complete, required fees are paid and a proper time is established, to ensure that a Service of Dedication will be held in a dignified and sacred manner when the ashes are scattered.

For full details on the history and development of the MSG, contact Ken and Gloria Charlton (519-793-6093). In the meantime, enjoy a stroll down Main Street, Lion’s Head where you are invited to visit this garden for its colourful beauty of the many variety of flowers and plants present Enjoy the tranquility of some quiet and peaceful moments, relaxing on the benches.

Receive $4000 To Help Replace Your Septic System

By Sean LiipereNearly all of us on the Bruce

Peninsula use a septic system. Buried beneath our backyards and out of sight, most of us never give much thought to what happens when our waste goes down the pipes. But what we don’t know can in fact hurt us. Failing septic systems and improper management practices can have enormous impacts on the quality of our community’s water. When a septic system stops working properly, untreated waste can reach lakes, rivers and even our wells. This wastewater carries with it E. coli and other waterborne pathogens, and exposes our families and our neighbours to serious health risks. It also contains significant nutrients, such as phosphorus and nitrogen, which cause excessive algal growth that can affect the value and enjoyment of our properties, and devastate aquatic life. By maintaining your septic system you are helping to keep the waters of the Bruce Peninsula clean and healthy for the future.

This year the Biosphere Association initiated a program to help local homeowners understand how to manage their septic systems and help support those that want to make improvements. With a $50,000 grant from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, the Biosphere Association has been working with local septic service providers and contractors to offer an incentive program focused on the Stokes River-Old Woman’s River watershed, which includes communities in Boyd’s Harbour, Stokes Bay, Hardwick Cove and Myles Bay. We are working with Bruce Peninsula Septic Service to offer 30 free septic pump-outs in the project area to provide an opportunity for homeowners to discuss their septic system with a local professional and identify any potential improvements. Recognizing the significant costs associated with installing septic systems, the Biosphere Association is also offering a program for 12 homeowners in the project area,

Bruce Peninsula Biosphere Association: Beautiful Invasive Specieswhich provides a $4,000 subsidy to replace failing septic systems. This is a limited offer, so if you are considering a new septic system then this is the time to do it! For more information, please contact us at (519) 793-3975.

Come To The 2016 Forest Fair

By Sean LiipereThe Bruce Peninsula

has the largest remaining forests in all of southern Ontario. These vast forests support a spectacular diversity of plants and animals, and they have always been a vital part of our local heritage. Based on its success last year, the Biosphere Association will be hosting another Forest Fair to celebrate the natural and cultural heritage of the Bruce Peninsula’s woodlands. The event will take place on Saturday, October 1 under the autumn colours of Bruce County’s Lindsay Tract Trails. The 2016 Forest Fair will include fun, family-oriented activities and demonstrations such as forest hikes, scavenger hunts, log sawing, kid’s crafts, and much more, as well as a series of presentations by local and regional experts focused on a wide range of forest-related topics.

Purple Loosestrife: A Beautiful Invader

By Blake Aram and Alex ParniakWhen one thinks of an invasive

species, beauty does not always come to mind. However, many invading plants are quite beautiful and are consequently not always identified as invasive or often are wanted! This is the case for an invasive plant that has been slowly establishing itself on Bruce Peninsula,

Photo: This is the invasive plant that has been slowly establishing itself on Bruce Peninsula, known as Purple Loosestrife.

known as Purple Loosestrife.

Purple Loosestrife, or Lythrum salicaria, is native to Europe and central Asia. It was brought over on sailing ships in the early 19th century when seeds were present in ballast water to stabilize the ships. First introduced to Atlantic Canada, it soon spread westward throughout all of North America with significant populations growing in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence region. As with other invasive plants, Purple Loosestrife is known to dominate the ecosystem in which it grows. It proliferates to form a monoculture, denying native plants of space, light and nutrients. As a result, native plants become extirpated from their original plot of land and the life cycles of native animals are disturbed.

If left untreated, Purple Loosestrife has the potential to completely take over large areas of land.

There are a few native Loosestrife species growing on the Peninsula, but they look very different from this tall, purple invader. Non-native Purple Loosestrife can be identified by its spike of purple flowers that blooms from late June to August. Leaves that grow near the bottom of the stem have a soft, downy texture with smooth edges. They generally grow in pairs opposite to each other which alternate down the stalk at 90° angles. The seed capsules begin to appear as the flowers fall off which normally starts occurring in late July. The seeds produced by these capsules are extremely small and can be easily transported via water, wildlife, hikers and ATVs. A mature plant can produce upwards of 2.7 million seeds alone. Germination generally occurs the flowing year but seeds can remain dormant for multiple seasons creating a long term problem.

A standard practice for managing invasive plants is the use of manual removal and herbicides. In the case of Purple Loosestrife, biocontrol has also been used. Galerucella calmariensis and Galerucella pusilla are two species of leaf eating beetles used for Purple Loosestrife management. In conjunction with these beetles, Nanophyes marmoratus and Hylobius transversovittatus are two weevil species known to use Purple Loosestrife as their primary niche. The combination of these insects to control Purple Loosestrife has historically been proven to be a very effective mechanism of invasive species management; when carefully used these introduced insects will pose no new threat to native flora and fauna species.

The Bruce Peninsula Biosphere Association encourage local residents and cottage owners to please buy native or non-invasive plants when looking to do garden work. If you think you have spotted an invasive species, please email us so it can be tracked. These precautions will help keep the Peninsula one of the leading eco-friendly destinations in Canada.

Over the next two months, birds are caught in nets, banded, identified, aged, measured and recorded before sending them off to continue their journey. At the open house you will have the opportunity to see how this process works, from taking birds out of the mist nets to the final release out the window.

A proud member of the Canadian Migration Monitoring Network, The Cabot Head Research Station is one of 25 bird migration monitoring stations across Canada. Providing baseline information on bird populations by sampling migrants, by daily capture or observation, during migration periods contributes to the knowledge about

bird populations and movement. The open house takes place

from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Light refreshments will be available during the day. The Cabot Head Research station is located near the Cabot Head Lighthouse on Wingfield Basin.

Bruce Peninsula Environmental Group: Sleeping In The Shadow Of Risk

Photo: Shawn-Patrick Stensil, nuclear analyst from Greenpeace, spoke to the members concerning the potential risks of nuclear power.

We’ve grown accustomed to our nuclear neighbourhood and put to sleep our concerns. However, Shawn-Patrick Stensil, widely-respected nuclear analyst from Greenpeace, reminded BPEG at their August meeting that we dwell in the contamination zone should an unforeseen event endanger our water, land (food), lives and health.

Those speaking in defense of the nuclear industry will tell us repeatedly that a disaster such as Fukushima couldn’t happen here, but - the conditions exist. And we, ourselves, contribute to these conditions by our tendency to ‘get used to’ what seems generally accepted.

Mr. Stensil has travelled to Chernobyl and Fukushima, acquainted himself with the land and the people, and tells of his equipment detecting ‘hot spots’ on a beach where children were playing and babies sleeping. Governments tend to support business over safety, as our Harper government did. In Japan people are being encouraged, if not coerced to move back into areas that are not yet ‘clean’ because it is costly to keep people safely in the places to which they’ve had to move. Japan has seen an upsurge in protests and a ‘citizen science’ has developed to respond to false assurances.

850,000 families have installed solar panels within the last five years, enough generation to match the output of almost six reactors. Since Fukushima, twelve of their reactors have been abandoned. Yet, before March, 2017, the government expects 55,000 evacuees to return to areas of high contamination. This, when 80% of the radioactive contamination resulting from Fukushima polluted the ocean, an inestimable impact. Widespread contamination follows the movement of the wind and the water.

In Ontario we have 20 aging reactors on three sites, contained, mainly to save money dealing with an accident. The province has signed a contract to rebuild six Bruce reactors, while no solution has been found for dealing with waste. Studies have not been well done on alternatives to the DGR (deep geological repository), or ways of keeping waste accessible for dealing with, when we might know how.

Oxford County is one of many regions worldwide that has committed to go 100% renewable by 2050. Almost a thousand international mayors met prior to the CPO21 in December, 2015 and committed to transition to renewables by mid-century. Instead of pockets of jobs centered around nuclear generation, jobs

would be scattered throughout regions. Energy could be generated closer to where it is needed

Promised transparency is sorely needed. Why are deals between our governments and this industry kept secret? We now have the opportunity to do something about this. Ontario will be asking for citizen input on two counts: 1) what we think our nuclear emergency plan should look like post Fukushima, and 2) a vision of our long term energy plan. Let’s respond.

After the meeting we branched into related discussions: our hydro bills don’t reflect our efforts at conservation because nuclear generation is inflexible in terms of the feed matching the demand at any given time. At such times we sell off excess power south of the border for next to nothing, then when we may need it, we pay a higher price. Renewables cost up front but nuclear costs in many ways and over the long term. Many indigenous communities are ahead of us on this issue; perhaps together we can act for a safer, more affordable and ethical future.

On Wednesday, Sept. 7th, 7:30 p.m. Christ Church Parish Hall in Lion’s Head, Mike Krizanc will speak on Nuclear Waste Management.

While the main events of the Tobermory Trail Race Weekend (TTRW) – the Full, Half and Relay Trail Marathon on Sept 24th and the 5km Flowerpot Island run on Sept 25th are for runners, there will be other events that weekend for those less interested in testing their endurance skills against the Bruce Trail.

The weekend will start off on Friday night with a Pasta Dinner at the Tobermory Community Centre from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm. The dinner is being provided by the Ferndale/Lions Head District Lioness Club and is open to the public so come out and join the 150 racers participating in Saturday’s runs (who get a meal ticket in their race bag). Tickets will be limited so come early! Race registration will also be taking place on Friday night at the Community Centre and there will be a guest speaker. The Tobermory Primary Place will also be hosting a Silent Auction which will open for biding on Friday at 5:00 pm and items will being closing Saturday evening, starting at 6:00 pm.

At 7 am Saturday morning all of the racers participating in the Full, Half and Relay Trail Marathon will gather at the Community Centre for their race briefing and then they will be piped down to the start line at the Tobermory Cenotaph. The Full and Relay categories will take off from Tobermory heading south on to the trail at 7:30 am and the Half Marathon runners will be bused to Cyprus Lake Campground in Bruce Peninsula National Park and start north on the trail at 8:30 am. We welcome anyone wanting to cheer racers on to join us at the start line in town. As the race mostly follows the Bruce Trail, those willing to hike can walk out at Cyprus Lake or Little Cove and cheer racers on as they tackle the trail.

The Finish Line for all of Saturday’s races is at the Bruce Trail Cairn on Bay

September 24-25 Tobermory Trail Race Weekend – Not Just for RunnersSt. This means Bay St. will be closed from the Cenotaph to the intersection with Brock St. until 2:00 - 3:00 pm on Saturday Sept 24th. Runners love to finish with a cheering crowd so to draw attention to that area the Library will be putting on a book sale. If you have any donations the library would love to have them. There will also be a bouncy castle, information booths and you can wet your whistle as you are cheering at the Primary Place Lemonade Stand.

Saturday ends with the Awards Ceremony at 4:00 pm, a Silent Auction,

a Fish Fry from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm and a Dance from 8:00 pm – 1:00 am at the Community Centre, all of which are open to the public. The Snowmobile Club is providing the Fish Dinner. The Silent Auction and Dance are to support the Tobermory Primary Place Daycare. The Daycare will be looking for items for the Silent Auction, if you have a donation please contact Sarah Peacock at 226 668 7707.

On Sunday morning anyone who wishes to wake up super-early can come to the Blue Heron dock at 5:45am to

wish the Flowerpot Island 5K racers well as they board the boat. The race is not open to spectators due to the limited transport options but the racers would love to be greeted at the dock on return to Tobermory around 9 am.

The goal of this weekend is for racers and their families to enjoy a weekend in Tobermory and support outdoor adventures on the Bruce Peninsula. In return for everyone’s generosity that weekend, they will be assisting the Tobermory Primary Place Daycare with their winter program.

“We’re here for only one reason – YOU!” “We’re here for only one reason – YOU!” “We’re here for only one reason – YOU!”

Submitted by Jane GreenhouseI have often wondered, as I walk

along the board walk in Tobermory and watch divers and swimmers use the platform at “The Tugs” site (across from The Grandview), who we have to thank for both the boardwalk and the platform? It turns out that they were built by the Friends of Fathom Five volunteers, the former St. Edmunds township provided the materials. How many locals, visitors and divers enjoy this addition to the village? This got me thinking about the history of “The Friends” and what else they have been involved with.

The Fr iends is a non-prof i t organization which supports Fathom Five National Marine Park and Bruce Peninsula National Park by promoting awareness of the natural, historic and cultural resources of the park and the surrounding hinterland. This is achieved through educational publications and programs, volunteer service, facility and display development, planning and research assistance and community service.

The “Friends of Fathom Five” was established in 1984 to be supporters of Fathom Five Provincial Park. In 1987 Parks Canada opened the Bruce Peninsula National Park and Fathom Five National Park and so the Friends of Fathom Five became “The Friends of Bruce District

A Short History of The Friends of Bruce District National ParksParks”.

As you walk around Tobermory there are many traces of the Friends’ involvement. The signs telling the history of the harbour, (the “Historical Walking Tour”) was developed by the Friends. At the end of the summer they remove the plaques, make any necessary repairs over the winter and put the plaques back in Spring, ready for another season.

The sidewalk at Big Tub Light was another of the Friends’ accomplishments and they are actively involved in providing funds for the yearly maintenance. They also helped with the cost of replacing the windows. The Friends currently are in negotiations with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to determine the future of this lighthouse.

The Orchid Festival, in early June, is another of the Friend’s initiatives. This festival was started 15 years ago, in partnership with The National Park, to give locals and visitors alike an opportunity to have guided hikes and workshops where they learn more about the many varieties of orchids found on the Bruce Peninsula. This festival boosts the local economy by bringing people to the area in the shoulder months. In the last few years it has been a sold out event.

Perhaps the biggest undertaking of the Friends is the restoration and maintenance of the Flowerpot Island Light

Station. In the winter of 1995, concern over the deteriorating condition of the light station – after 10 years of being unmanned – led to the Friends signing an agreement with the Canadian Coast Guard to begin restoring the station. This was the beginning of annual projects necessary to restore the light station and two houses in their now pristine condition.

There have been many projects undertaken. In 1997, a new roof was put on the bungalow, and in 2000, the roof of the original light keeper’s home was replaced. Construction of the public composting toilet was completed in 2000. In 2012 the underwater electrical cable, providing hydro to the site, was accidentally severed and was not going to be replaced. This resulted in the installation of five solar electric systems. These systems enable the station to have running hot and cold water, two refrigerators, a small freezer and lights. All these projects and more have been paid for by the Friends. The roofs of the houses need replacing again, this time the friends have raised enough money to have professional roofers install steel roofs.

The Friends started the Light Keeper’s Host Program in 1996. Volunteers live at the light station for three days. While there they provide interpretation services for the many visitors, operate the small shop and keep up with the daily chores. Visitation

to the light station has grown from 5,000 visitors twenty years ago to over 15,000 people representing 42 countries in 2014. They have even published a book “20 Years of Volunteering Lightkeeping at Flowerpot Island Lightstation 1996-2015” featuring log entries by the volunteers.

This is just a limited list of the activities and initiatives led by the Friends of Bruce District Parks. This fall, on September 24th, the Friends’ President will cook breakfast for the Flowerpot Island 5k run. In the Spring they hosted a welcoming BBQ for the summer staff at the park. In Provincial Park days they started “Big Tub Scrub” and “Little Scrub Tub”, (now the Crowsnest organizes “Scrub the Tub” annually in June). In past years they have organized The Marine Heritage Weekend, lent backpacks to day hikers... just a few of their initiatives.

As you read this article, look back at all the items listed here and think of how much richer the community is with a group like the Friends. Volunteers are the life blood of any organization like this. If you think that you might like to join the Friends or find out more information, they invite you to join them at the Annual General meeting on September 25th, 1:00 at the Parks Canada Visitor Centre. Everyone is welcome

Submitted by Helen WestoverLife moved at a slower pace back

then when I was young. Sundays were family days, as I have said before. A slower gentler time when family togetherness often meant that the family would pack a picnic and go for a drive.

The picnic spots weren’t that far away. A few miles up or down the road, the family car would pull over and that would be the spot. There didn’t need to be a picnic table. A blanket was used as the “table”.

There would be sandwiches, usually egg salad, cold meat, and maybe salmon. The cold meat was generally sliced from a roast of pork, beef or a ham.

There could be potato salad, coleslaw, and always bread to butter. We were lucky if the bread was home made, and thickly sliced.

Homemade pickles, hard-boiled eggs, salt and pepper, cold drinks and hot tea. We gathered up bits of wood, from

From Where I Sit: Before There Was Fast Food, There Was Slow Foodsmall to start the fire, to bigger to make the fire hot enough to boil the tea kettle.

This kettle was known for its many wonderful pots of tea. It was as black as the ace of spades from many bonfires. When the water came to a boil, loose tea leaves were measured into the water, and the pot was set to steep.

The kids were left to do as they liked, while the women prepared the meal. If it was the right time of year, there would be wild strawberries ripening along the roadside. These sweet treats were very tiny. It took a long time to gather a handful. Then, by magic, most of them disappeared before we got back to our picnic.

Not many of you may remember this, but I do. Mostly I remember because it was so strange to me. Picture a large can about the size of a large juice can. Now, imagine my surprise when the can was opened and out came a whole cooked chicken. Yupper, it was there, preserved in the jelly that

formed when it cooled.

Ham was also canned and brought to the picnic. The can was opened by a special key that was secured to its bottom. Another surprise I got was when I found out that potatoes were also canned. All the potatoes I had seen were cleaned and peeled then cooked in our kitchen.

To end the picnic, there would be home-made desserts. Cakes, pies, tarts, or some other sweet delight made by, yes I’ll say it... “The loving hands of the mothers and grandmothers”.

Or, for a special treat, we would stop at a country store for an ice cream cone or chocolate bar.

Picnics were such a part of daily life that there were roadside picnic areas where you could pull over and set your picnic on provided tables. And a necessary part of these roadside stops was a one-holer or two-holer.

Yes, back then it was a slower time,

unlike the fast-food places that are all over the roads for quick grab and go meals today.

From Where I Sit, life back then was easier, so the roadside picnic suited the time. Today, everyone is hurrying and scurrying everywhere. But sometimes I see someone pulled off the road, enjoying the slower pace of life, having a roadside picnic, and I smile and remember the days gone by.

Whether you sent cards, memorial donation, on-line condolences or visited with us before &/or during Mom’s funeral service, a huge thank-you. We will be eternally grateful to the staff at Golden Dawn for your compassion and excellent care that you gave to Mom during the last 4 years that she resided in your presence. Thank-you to Pastor Gerald Dewitt for your compassion shown to us and for making Mom’s service truly a special celebration of life. To the ladies of the United Church, thank-you for preparing a delicious luncheon after the service. Our sincere appreciation to the George Funeral Home, especially Brenda and Steve, for helping us through this difficult time. A heartfelt thank-you to everyone. Your many acts of kindness will never be forgotten. We will have many wonderful memories of a great lady who touched the lives of so many people.

by us all.

Xx Lisa and familyOBITUARY

Davies, Keith – of Miller Lake, peacefully at Residential Hospice of Grey Bruce on Thursday August 4, 2016. Beloved husband of Yvonne (nee Smithson). Father of Dani (Bill), Kerri (Scotty), and Vanessa; and grandfather of Samantha, and Colton. Sadly missed by his family and friends. Keith was generous and quirky and showed it in his love for his little red Mini. His love of the outdoors and hiking led him to the Bruce Peninsula and his dedication to the Tobermory Snowmobile Club. Funeral arrangements completed from the Thomas C. Whitcroft Peninsula Chapel, 272 Berford St., Wiarton, (519) 534-5341. Donations to Chapman House (Grey Bruce Hospice) would be appreciated. Condolences may be expressed online at www.whitcroft funeralhome.com

Submitted by Joni ReganBUGS: Every year by mid July

the bugs have all but destroyed my Goats Beard & I don’t usually have a bug problem in the rest of the garden (lots of warblers & their friends). Last year I was given two beautiful little mini rose bushes & I immediately put a pot of chives tucked in beside them. They are in a green pot & not too noticeable there. Ha! No bugs, no aphids. So this year down went a pot of chives in with my Goats Beard. No Bugs! However, the plant still is not doing well. I guess it needs some TLC, starting now. Down went the homemade compost mixed in with some mulch & fresh soil. Now I wait. Thank you to a dear friend Muriel Erb for the chive hint (I keep the chives in pots) they’re big time spreaders.

SLUGS: Now that we have had some rain (all that rain dancing finally worked) we have the slugs back. I have diligently been putting out orange peels for them to nibble on, no slugs (they nibble, they die). Still have a couple of bags left in the freezer in case of more rain.

SNAKE PARK: Tobermory has a Skate Park, The Bury Rd Garden has a Snake Park. Actually three of them, soon to be more. In a shady out of the way corner I have a large plastic pot saucer surrounded by rocks, some

In The Garden: Hints From A Mrs. Gardener - Bugs, Slugs & A Snake Park

Photo: How many snakes can you see? The Bury Rd Garden has a Snake Park. Snakes are a great natural repellent for voles & moles damaging the garden.

Submitted by Sandra J. HoweOn Thursday August 11, drummers from Tobermory and Lion’s Head gathered

for drumming at Cabot Head Lightstation. Lighthouse staff and visitors joined in to enjoy wonderful rhythms. The day was clear and hot but the breeze off the water kept us cool enough. Fun was had by all.

potted shade plants, ground cover & low hanging tree branches. Some of the plants are native. We all know how beneficial snakes are to a garden & I do want them here (tomboy as a kid) they do not bother me. I have had some vole, mole damage done the last couple of years & snakes are a great natural repellent.

We have noticed a greater amount of snakes in the garden & I want to keep them here. Just garter snakes, the one that rattles goes away every spring when I start to work in the garden again. We have a deal, I don’t bother him, he won’t bother me, so far it’s working.

Extra bonus, the snake parks are attracting even more warblers to the garden. Several are back along with the tiny finches & do they ever love the snake parks, it’s nothing to see 4 or 5 of them playing in the water. When ever I go by one of the little parkettes I hose the tree branches, that really brings them out. Frogs & toads are loving it too, hopefully not at the same time as the snakes (there are a couple of really big guys).

So it goes to show, if you build it they will come.

Submitted by Brad InglisIt feels like we are in the home

stretch of what has turned out to be a fast paced summer and there are actually signs that things are starting to let up. Maybe it’s just the fact that I have been lucky with parking spots down town and feel the glow of once again being able to slip into Peacocks without circling the parking lot ten times. I believe that it is good for my soul when I only have to walk twenty feet to get to the grocery store

and would rather burn a tank of gas than have to exert myself by parking beyond Craigie’s. Ladies, hold on to your husbands tight, because I am very envious when I see them drop you at the door of Peacocks and then sail back and pick you up with your groceries!

On Tuesday August 23rd we launched our Raising The Roof Campaign as we raise funds to replace our church roof with a steel one. This event was initiated by long time

cottager and former United Church minister in Lion’s Head/Pike Bay – Mervyn Russell (…who is always quietly supported by his amazing wife Patricia). Mervyn, who is a trained singer, brought two students with him; David Gowing and Leila Stevens, who shared their gift of music by playing the flute and classical piano. Somewhere along the way Mervyn’s

vision of a cultured event was hijacked by some of our Thrift Shop volunteers who also pulled together an eclectic Thrift Shop Fashion Show. As the two worlds collided, the result was an evening of beautiful music, amazing talent and lots of laughs as volunteers took to the runway modeling the finest Thrift Shop fashions – and most items were available for sale.

More From The Desk Of

The Lazy Theologian Over the next few months you will

no doubt hear about other events to raise funds for the new roof. Perhaps you will find a way of being involved or consider making a tax-deductible donation towards this initiative. Throughout the year, more than 100 people from the community visit our building each week to participate in a variety of activities beyond regular worship. We take pride in making this building accessible to the whole community and creating a place where all are welcome. The space isn’t just about weddings and funerals – it’s about creating space for family and friends to gather in celebration and in loss regardless of religious beliefs. It means that you will find yoga classes that speak to your inner being, Nia dancing that will free your soul to sing, Tai Chi sessions that will enhance your balance and promote well being, a game of “bridge” with friends to sharpen your mind and wit, book circle and bible study to deepen your sense of the world and all that creation has to offer. In the fall we will be offering a monthly Messy Church and dinner for those who want a more informal time of worship and sense of community – with a focus on children. And of course there is the traditional but less formal Catholic service on Saturday afternoon and our own family friendly worship service Sunday morning. You can even stop by just for a visit and coffee on Friday mornings or join the Painters in the Tub as they work on their own creations.

As we speed towards the end of summer please note that as of August 31st we will not be accepting any more donations at the Thrift Shop for this season. We will however remain open on weekends until October 1st.
