It’s a sure sign of spring when the Kawartha Lakes Country Living Show comes to Fenelon Falls! If you need to renovate or just decorate your home or cottage, this is the place to find vendors and all the information you need. Put this on your calendar, for sure!
Folks in Bobcaygeon got all excited a couple of weeks ago when the swing bridge at Lock 32 swung back into place, after being out of commission since 2021 for repairs. Parks Canada is still working on it, though, but everyone’s fingers are crossed that it will be fixed and back up in operation before the summer busy season. Here’s hoping!
As I write this today, it’s Volunteer Appreciation Day. Messages are popping up in emails and on social media thanking these special people for giving their time and talents to our local organizations. We all know that without them, we wouldn’t have successful music concerts, flowers planted, meals delivered, seniors

shuttled to appointments, farmers’ markets and so much more that make up our little slice of heaven.
Pre-pandemic, the statistics about volunteering showed more than 2.5 million hours were dedicated across the country. Since 2020, though, many organizations have been struggling to find volunteers and, in the United States, more than 10 percent of those organizations who rely on volunteers had to close their doors.
Locally, people are coming back to help out, whether it’s a one-off at a specific event or on a more regular basis. Students still need their 40 hours of volunteer time every year, which gives them a great opportunity to get some work experience but also to meet new people and be involved in the community.
If you have a few hours a month, a week or a day to give to one of the local groups who need our help, please consider reaching out to them. They will certainly be grateful for your time. And we all know the good feeling you get when you help someone else!
Keep up the great work, volunteers and thank you!

City of Kawartha Lakes is undertaking a Heritage Inventory Project, identifying and documenting heritage resources in our communities to understand what resources are present, their significance, and how best to preserve them. There are several Public Meetings scheduled over the coming months.
• A public meeting will be held in Bobcaygeon on Monday, May 8 at 7pm at the Boyd Heritage Museum, located at 21 Canal Street East, Bobcaygeon. During this meeting, the project team will provide an update on the field work that took place in 2022 and discuss next steps.
• This summer, the Heritage Inventory project is expanding to Fenelon Falls and Omemee. Public meetings will take place to launch the project and provide information and opportunities for participation to community members.
• The first public meeting will take place in Omemee on Wednesday, May 3 at 7pm at Coronation Hall, located at 1 King Street West, Omemee.
• The second public meeting will take place in Fenelon Falls on Thursday, May 11 at 7pm at St. James Anglican Church, located at 19 Bond Street East, Fenelon Falls.
A recent update on the Heritage Inventory Project was presented to Council by Emily Turner, Economic Development Officer - Heritage Planning. She highlighted the following work completed in 2022.
• Bethany inventory fieldwork was led by a community partnership with Manvers Historical Society. There were 83 historic resources were identified, with the majority being residential, and primarily located along Highway 7.
• Bobcaygeon inventory fieldwork was City-led with the help of community volunteers. There were 303 historic resources were identified, with the majority being residential homes built between 1850-1930, with a concentration of commercial properties in the downtown core.
• Public engagement in 2022 included a project page on Jump In, Kawartha Lakes, public information sessions, and training sessions for field survey volunteers.
• The Heritage Resource Survey Form was developed to be filled out by inventory volunteers when
collecting information about a historical site. The Heritage Evaluation Matrices was developed as a framework to evaluate sites in Kawartha Lakes based on Provincial standards. Factors include architectural and historical value, architects, contextual values, and others.
Next steps also include developing and publishing Historic Context Statements, created for key themes or places that helped shape Kawartha Lakes. The purpose is to relate properties to these context statements to understand their importance in the community as a whole. The project team will also develop a publicfacing mapping and data sharing system.
The public is invited to an information session for the Old Mill-Pumpkin Hollow Heritage Conservation District plan on April 27 at 7:30pm at the Victoria Park Armoury, located at 210 Kent Street West in Lindsay.
The project team will provide an update on the current status of the project and draft development objectives and policies for the area.
If you are unable to attend the meeting in person, a virtual session covering the same information will be held on May 1 at 7:30pm. Advanced registration is required for this zoom meeting, which you can do through the link at www.kawarthalakes.ca.
Here’s some background on the project. On June 23, 2020, City of Kawartha Lakes Council initiated a Heritage Conservation District Study for the Old Mill neighbourhood in Lindsay. The area was chosen for an HCD study because it was requested by members of the local neighbourhood. The study was completed in July 2022 and Council has directed staff to develop a heritage conservation district plan for the area which will set policies and provide design guidelines for future development in the area.
Heritage Conservation Districts (HCDs) are areas protected by a by-law passed under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act. HCDs are usually groups of buildings or structures, such as neighbourhoods, which have a unique historic character. District designations are put in place to help conserve and enhance historic areas, guide future development so that it has a positive impact on local areas, and help maintain a sense of place and pride in our unique neighbourhoods and communities in Kawartha Lakes.
The Kawartha Lakes Road Operations division has shifted into spring maintenance mode. Here’s a refresher to help prepare residents for the seasonal road operations that will happen across the municipality throughout the spring/early summer. Here’s what’s up:
Brushing
Roadside mechanical brushing is a necessary activity for road maintenance. It is important to remove vegetation within the City owned right-ofway to improve driving conditions on the roads and help with other road maintenance operations such
as ditching, and winter operations. Brushing typically takes place outside of the migratory bird window (April 15 to August 25) unless a nesting sweep is completed by a qualified person before operations commence.
Culvert maintenance
Often in the spring, ditches and culverts need to be cleared of leaves and other materials that may have piled up over the winter. Culverts allow the passing of water under roads to help keep potholes and cracks from forming. Culvert maintenance is a year-round operation. Late fall/winter is reserved for emergency maintenance and spring/summer for culvert replacements.
Cold patching
Cold patching potholes happens year-round as required by Ontario Regulation 239/02, Minimum Maintenance Standards. Cold mix asphalt is used year round with different mixes used during the summer and winter months to ensure the material is workable during the season at hand. Cold mix asphalt is stored directly at the Public Works Depots for quick access. Cold patching is often a temporary fix until further action can be taken.
Hot patching
Hot patching potholes starts in the late spring and runs through the fall (roughly May to October). The primary reason why the City doesn’t hot patch yearround is because hot mix asphalt plants are typically closed from November until May and hot mix asphalt can’t be properly installed in colder temperatures. Hot patching is a semi-permanent repair; it typically lasts longer than cold patching but the only real long term solution is for the road to be resurfaced.
Sweeping
Street sweeping begins in the spring and helps keep our roads clean by removing winter sand and other debris from the road, gutters and roadsides that could potentially block drainage infrastructure. Street sweeping is often performed later in spring, once winter maintenance operations are fully finished, to allow for residual snow to melt and to eliminate the need to re-sweep roads.
The City does two types of grading: loose top road grading and shoulder grading. Each year the City maintains its gravel roads by grading them as required to correct the grade/cross-fall of the road and provide a smooth driving surface. Loose top road grading typically happens 3 to 5+ times annually, while shoulder grading typically happens 3 to 4 times annually.
There may be other road maintenance operations you’ll see this spring, including catch basin maintenance, sign maintenance, line marking,

guiderail maintenance, roadside mowing, storm sewer flushing, bridge maintenance, streetlight/traffic signals, noxious weeds, and sidewalk/curb maintenance.
In the 2023 approved budget for the City, the Roads Operations division has a budget of just over $30 million to invest in roads maintenance this year.
In 2022, the City of Kawartha Lakes introduced a bulky plastic recycling pilot program.
According to Waste Management, the program was a big success as it almost doubled the original diversion estimates.
Seventy tonnes of bulky plastic were diverted from the Lindsay Ops landfill last year, freeing up approximately 1715m3 of landfill space that could hold up to 1200 tonnes of compacted residential waste.
Staff estimate that the freed up space equates to an annual capital deferral savings of approximately $180,000 in equivalent landfill space.
A report from Aaron Sloan, Manager of Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing at the City of Kawartha Lakes, was presented to Council at the Committee of the Whole Meeting earlier this month.
The report is based on community surveys and public information sessions since 2018, as well as correspondence, deputations and petitions regarding Short Term Rentals in CKL.
While four options were presented, staff have recommended that Council adopt a Licensing Bylaw. The service fee system and education component in currently in place will remain. In this licensing option, regulations will include license fees, ability to issue orders, various enforcement options, insurance requirements, a demerit point system, an appeal system for owners, license suspension and revocation process.
The intention of a licensing program is to create equal standards for all STR accommodations to use, to educate and guide owners and renters, and to create a focused control mechanism to address complaints (consequence and legal process). Should Council choose Option 2, as recommended, the Annual STR License fees could be $300 for hosted (property owner on-site) locations and $1,200 for un-hosted (property owner not on-site) locations.
The report will head to full Council for discussion and approvals.
Some City of Kawartha Lakes residents are still dealing with the aftermath of a fuel spill on Sturgeon Lake.
According to City officials, at the end of March there was a fuel spill into Sturgeon Lake from Thurstonia Park near Dunsford. During their investigation, the City’s consultant for emergency spills, GHD, determined that the substance spilled was approximately 100 litres of weathered diesel fuel. The source remains unknown and GHD continues to analyze a series of tests that were conducted to help determine the source.
Since then, the City has been working with the responsible authorities to contain, cleanup and mitigate the effects of the spill. To date, they have been able to contain the affected shoreline area, extract all of the substances released and prevent any spread of the spill while the investigation into the source continues.
Approximately 30 homes in the area, that draw their water directly from the lake, received a Drinking Water Advisory from the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit. The Health Unit will notify residents as soon as it is safe to use the water. In the interim, a Drinking Water Advisory (DWA) remains in effect.
City officials are coordinating with MECP to facilitate the reopening of the shore as soon as possible. Flushing and cleaning is scheduled to start on April 19 and last two to three days (weather depending). Water sample tests will determine when it is appropriate to open the shoreline.
The City is currently sourcing a supply of potable water for the homes identified in the DWA. Further details to follow when available.
It’s time for the annual daytime burn bans, and occasional total banning of fires anywhere depending on weather conditions.
In Trent Lakes, there is a daytime burn ban in effect until October 31. This means you can only have an open air fire between 6pm and 8am.
In the City of Kawartha Lakes, there’s a City-wide burn ban in effect for April, which means no campfires or burn barrels.
It’s just common sense, really. If it’s dry, don’t light the fire!

After the last concert, Bob Plummer handed in his resignation. He had been Chairman for a number of years and been a strong leader in every capacity. The whole Council wish him well for his future and for any endeavour he has in mind.
Liz Byrneshas accepted the challenge of following in his footsteps and we welcome her on board. Liz sat on Council previously but due to various circumstances had to resign. The Council is sure that whatever she has to bring to us will be beneficial.
The Christine Tassan concert in March was very well attended and we look forward to seeing the same
audience in the Fall Music Alive concerts.
The Concerts in the Park are next on the agenda starting on July 6 at the locks. The following week will be Summer Music Camp at Settlers’ Village. All details for the camp can be found on our website bobcaygeonmusic.com along with an application form.

As our community grows, hospital services become even more important. So do the donors whose gifts help fund essential medical equipment and technology needs at Ross Memorial. From doctors to donors, we all play a role in patient care.
RMH Chief of Staff, Dr. Bharat Chawla is proud of the hospital team that works hard to care for our community — and he’s grateful for the generous donors who ensure the team has the tools and technology needed to give patients the best care possible. These
connections are life-changing.
“At the Ross Memorial, we do our best to adapt our services to meet the needs of our community. As your healthcare needs evolve and grow, the Ross Memorial evolves and grows,” said Dr. Chawla.
“We’re grateful to be working with Dr. Chawla to raise awareness of essential technology and equipment needs from MRI and the CT Scanner to the new Clinical Information System that connects patients’ digital health records to our diagnostic and clinical tools,” said Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO. “We’re mailing Dr. Chawla’s letter throughout the Kawartha Lakes to give everyone the opportunity to have an impact on patient care. By working together, we’re advancing care close to home.”
“It takes all of us to keep the Ross functioning at the level we all expect, and to ensure we as a community have access to the best medical tools in a timely fashion,” said Ryan O’Neill, RMH Foundation Board Chair. “Just as Dr. Chawla says—we all have some connection to the Ross Memorial Hospital. Whether we were born there, experienced a life changing event there, received care following an injury, work or volunteer there … we all count on the Ross.”
Please watch for Dr. Chawla’s spring appeal letter in the mail or make a gift at www.rmh.org/foundation. Together, WE ARE THE ROSS.
The team at BirdHouse Realty has great cause for celebration. Marking the first anniversary of the new brokerage, Brad Bird’s team has been connecting people with places throughout the Kawartha Lakes and helping residents to fulfill their dreams. At the same time, they’ve been supporting the community they call home.
Recently, Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation was a recipient of a $3,700 gift from them.
One of Brad Bird’s goals in creating this new brokerage was to do more for the community. That’s how the BirdHouse Legacy Fund came to be. With every completed transaction, selling agents contribute $50 to the Legacy Fund and that contribution is matched by BirdHouse Realty. At the end of the year, the agents select four charitable causes to support with a donation from the fund.
“As ambassadors of the Kawartha Lakes lifestyle, we know that a vibrant community includes an exceptional hospital,” said Brad Bird, Broker of Record. “Our team selected the Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation because we all know someone who has needed care at Ross Memorial Hospital, and we know that the Foundation supports the purchase of medical equipment that isn’t otherwise covered through government funding. The donations stay in our community and the impact can be seen right here at our hospital.”
“We’re honoured to be part of the BirdHouse anniversary celebration and to be selected among the community causes they’re supporting through the BirdHouse Legacy Fund,” said Erin Coons, RMH
Foundation CEO. “Their gift will impact care funding transformational technology, medical equipment and capital projects. These include the community’s new MRI and CT Scanner; the Clinical Information System that connects bedside tools, imaging and test results to patients’ digital medical records; and essential equipment including the hospital’s fleet of IV pumps.”
The Bobcaygeon Horticulture Society annually has a plant sale. Funds from this are used in the gardens around town and the planters you used to see on the bridge but now are outside the CIBC and the Frank Real Estate office.
Organizers are asking anyone who has split plants and wishes to donate some to the plant sale to contact Carol Peters at 705-738-5652.

Forty-two University of Toronto medical students were treated to the sixth annual Rural Medicine Community Experience Day at Ross Memorial Hospital recently. This event is hosted by the Kawartha Lakes Health Care Initiative (KLHCI) and the Ross Memorial Hospital (RMH).
The first-and-second year students participated in hands-on workshops in suturing and intubation and were actively involved in group discussions regarding rural mental health. The students also engaged in a question and answer session led by a panel of local family physicians regarding work and life in the City of Kawartha Lakes. As this group of students has already expressed interest in practicing rural medicine upon completion of their training, KLHCI is hopeful that this one-day event will encourage many of them to
consider a practise in CKL.
“KLHCI cannot coordinate an event such as this without strong support from the leadership and staff of the Ross Memorial Hospital, and the physicians who take part in the workshops and panel. We would like to thank Dr. Dawn Reid, Dr. Sheila-Mae Young, Dr. Peter Petrosoniak, Dr. Baldeep Paul, Dr. Steven Kim (UofT family medicine resident), along with Michelle Way, RT and Kim Semple, RN for volunteering their expertise and passion for the day. Further thanks are extended to KLHCI board members, CKL community members and Pane Vino Trattoria,” says Barb van der Veen, Acting KLHCI President.
“On behalf of the medical students, we wish to express our appreciation to the University of Toronto Faculty Medical Society for the grant received to provide transportation and accommodations for the Rural Medicine Community Experience Day,” states Kevin Chen, Ching-Lung Huang, Jeremy Penn and Samuel Murray, organizing committee of the UofT Rural Medicine Interest Group.
KLHCI is a non-profit, charitable organization whose mandate is to recruit and retain family doctors for the City of Kawartha Lakes. KLHCI is directed through the work of a volunteer Board of Directors that is actively engaged in attracting new Board members from the community. Should you wish to support our efforts of ongoing recruitment and retention of family doctors in this manner, or through a financial donation, please contact Cindy Snider, Recruitment & Retention Coordinator at 705-328-6098 or csnider@rmh.org, or visit the KLHCI website at www.kawarthalakesdoctors. org.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) Career changes may be occurring in the near future, Virgo. Be sure this is what you want – do the research – and then jump in!
Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Spring is definitely on its way, Libra! And it brings with it the hope of new possibilities for you with which to move ahead and find some exciting new aspects to your life.
Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) There’s no better time than now to become a volunteer, Scorpio. Investigate your options, choose one that interests you – and sign up! It will open many new doors for you.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) “Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look.”: Marcus Aurelius. You never really know how strong you are, Sagittarius, until your strength is needed, either to fight for yourself, or fight for someone else.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) Take time to explore opportunities that may be out of your comfort zone, Capricorn. There’s a wide, wide world out there with lots to things see and do – and age is no limit!
