Where Do I Go?
I can’t tell you how distraught I was when reading the letter to the editor on “The Arts & Heritage Trail” in The Promoter (March 10). I had no idea that The Boyd Heritage Museum had moved to Fenelon Falls. No one told me. Apparently, I have been going to the wrong workplace address for some time. No one gave me a new key or an address in Fenelon. No one gave me a parking spot or mileage expenses and now I know what happed to the proposed renovation. It happened in Fenelon Falls. Please move the Museum back to Bobcaygeon. I miss my colleagues already. Thank you Dr. Rae Fleming for bringing this to my attention. D. Smith Bobcaygeon
Traffic Control – Bobcaygeon
I had contacted this department approximately 18 months ago, registering a complaint about the huge volume of traffic at the intersection of William Street and King Street in Bobcaygeon. The response I received indicated a traffic study would be required before

consideration for a four-way stop could be implemented. If you’re handicapped and trying to cross the street, you should first say a little prayer because if someone doesn’t stop for you, you may have to run which, of course, would create a problem if you are limited. We now have the Subway Shop, Cheese Hideaway, Grants Butcher Shop, variety store and Beer Store, which creates a fair amount of business for this area (which is positive). Plus you have traffic coming from or going to Foodland. William Street also provides a shortcut for those who don’t want to deal with the light at Highway 36 and King. Three new stop signs have been installed in Bobcaygeon along Front Street without a traffic survey being completed. The traffic at those locations is far less than the intersection I am complaining about. Suggested resolution would be to immediately make the intersection of William and King a four-way stop before the summer traffic commences. Failing this, I would appreciate an explanation why the stop signs were installed on Front Street and not at William and King, which has a higher volume of traffic. Linda Evans Bobcaygeon
Soupalicious!
Myself along with other volunteers had the privilege of assisting “Bobcaygeon Helps Food Bank” with their recent fundraiser “Soupalicious.” There were just under 250 tickets sold for this tasty event held at the Royal Canadian Legion in Bobcaygeon. Many thanks to the nine restaurants that took the time to cook and bring their own soup creations and to the Legion for their generous use of their establishment. Last but not least thank you to those who attended and enjoyed tasting the soups! I am always amazed by the generosity of this community.
