Bobcaygeon Ice Rink

Plans are underway again to prepare the surface for the Ice Rink at Tommy Anderson Park. The donation boxes that were in several businesses have been collected and we are grateful to those who contributed.

We are still in need of additional money in order to purchase more materials. The donation boxes are not available due to Covid so we ask that donations be made to the Community Ice Rink bank account at the Bank of Montreal.

Your ongoing support is greatly appreciated.

As always, thank you to all those help to make this happen every year. We couldn’t do it without you.

City Hall CKL’S PANDEMIC RECOVERY

At the Committee of the Whole meeting on November 3, the Community Pandemic Recovery Task Force presented its recommendations to Council.

The Task Force was created on May 26 to provide advice and recommendations to Council and Staff on resources and support to assist with community recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Task Force established working groups to better understand local challenges and concerns and to identify potential opportunities. After gathering information from local partners, exploring all the options and weighing the priorities, the Task Force brought forward four key recommendations: • Establish a new Kawartha Lakes Community Recovery Fund for 2021 and 2022, to encourage collaboration, foster innovation and build strength and capacity to move forward in the midst of the

COVID-19 pandemic.

Allocate funds from the Lindsay Legacy C.H.E.S.T. Fund Committee in 2021 to the Kawartha Lakes Community Recovery Fund, as the C.H.E.S.T. Fund Committee has decided to suspend their normal programing for 2021 to support COVID-19 recovery.

• Waive the requirement for a matching contribution from applicants to the 50/50 Community Project Capital Funding Program for 2021 and 2022, so staff can proceed with the application process and release the City’s contribution of up to 50% toward projects aimed at improving facilities and parks.

• Leverage internal resources and external support to offer a series of workshops to develop and promote safety protocols for operations, planning events, strategic planning, innovation and technical training during COVID-19.

“The pandemic has caused transformational change. It is essential for the long-term growth of our community that we bolster our service providers so they can survive, thrive and continue to serve,” commented Heather Kirby of Kawartha Lakes Food Source and Amy Terrill of Boys and Girls Club of Kawartha Lakes, Co-chairs of the Community Pandemic Recovery Task Force.

Council will consider the recommendations during the next Regular Council Meeting on November 17, 2020.

FENELON SECOND CROSSING

At the November 3 Committee of the Whole meeting, Dillion Consulting Ltd. provided an update to Council on the Fenelon Falls Second Crossing capital project. The purpose of the presentation was to showcase the current work completed on the project and collect feedback from Council so that a finalized report on recommended solutions can be brought forward for approval.

The project is currently in the Environmental Assessment phase, which includes an evaluation of the existing area, such as circumstances related to transportation, the waterway and surrounding landscapes, as well as technical and community studies conducted to identify optimal solutions to address the needs of the project.

The purpose of the Fenelon Falls Second Crossing is to address the traffic concerns surrounding the existing bridge located on Colborne Street in Fenelon Falls. Roughly 12,000 vehicles travel through Fenelon Falls in the summer months and often, long vehicle delays occur during peak traffic hours along the bridge and at the intersection of Helen Street and Lindsay Street.

During the presentation, Dillon provided data related to traffic conditions and congestion issues and findings from the multiple stakeholder and public meetings held over the course of the past year. They also presented current possible solutions and the impacts each option would have should Council

decide to move forward.

Two preferred solutions were presented to Council: • Traffic improvements can be made to Helen Street, Lindsay Street and Elliot Street to address the current delays experienced, such as an addition of a new traffic light and restrictions on turning options in and out of the commercial plaza located on the Northeast corner.

• Build a bypass bridge connecting Concession 3 across the Burnt River to relieve traffic passing through Fenelon Falls.

After a discussion regarding the project, Council requested an additional public meeting be scheduled to inform seasonal and full time residents within the impacted areas of the study findings and recommendations. A finalized report is expected to be brought forward to Council by the end of June or early July 2021.

For details on the Fenelon Falls Second Crossing capital project, please visit the project’s website at www.jumpinkawarthalakes.ca/ffsecondcrossing.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

The City of Kawartha Lakes is undertaking one of the largest construction projects of its’ recent history.

This project intends to upgrade and expand the existing Lindsay Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) by providing additional wastewater treatment capacity for its largest urban centre. The project also aims at improving the current treatment process to ensure the plant can be in compliant with the regulatory requirements by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP).

The major work components include: • Construction of cast-in-place concrete aeration tanks with in-tank air diffusion systems to replace the existing aerated lagoon; • Construction of a new aeration process blower building with high capacity aeration blowers; • Upgrades to the headworks process and provision of flow monitoring to improve the influent flow control; • Upgrades to the existing secondary clarification process for enhanced control of sludge removal from the existing clarifiers; • Miscellaneous site works including construction of large underground pipes.

The City has awarded the construction of the project to Bennett Mechanical Installations (2001) Ltd. CIMA Canada Inc. has been retained to provide the construction management services on behalf of the City.

The project will officially commence in November 2020 and is expected to be completed by the end of 2022.

The existing wastewater treatment plant will remain in operation during construction and commissioning of the planned upgrades. All temporary shutdowns of major and minor process subsystems will take place in a sequence with minimum disruption to the operation of the plant. Given the location of the project site, no impact to the public is anticipated by the construction activities.

NEW ECONOMIC IDEAS

City of Kawartha Lakes Council got an earful of new ideas for the local economy at its meeting on November 3.

Local residents Dennis Geelen and Mike Perry presented a shortlist of economic measures that had been complied through a People’s Economy campaign that, since the summer, had been soliciting new economic ideas focused on the people and the environment.

The People’s Economy campaign is also being led by local residents Laraine Hale and Joli-ScheidlerBenns of Lindsay, and Helen Scott of Downeyville.

“We had been hearing from all kinds of people that the post-Covid ‘new normal’ needs to include a new economic normal,” Perry told Council. “We have the opportunity now to put in place measures that reflect our values and make our rural area into a place of abundance for everyone within the means of the planet. We have in the past been told there are no alternatives, but that’s nonsense.”

The People’s Economy campaign held an online summit in June co-hosted by the School for the Study of Canada at Trent University which attracted some 80 participants. Since then, the local leadership team has been compiling – and consulting, including using a telephone hotline for people without internet – a list of new ideas that put people and the environment first.

Among the measures presented by Geelen that specifically had a role of the municipality included: providing incentives for co-ops and social, not-forprofit, enterprises equal to incentives to developers; implementing a home retrofit program to reduce homeowners’ and landlords’ reliance on the fluctuating energy market, based on examples in Guelph, Hamilton, Newmarket examples; and obtaining the Fleetwood plant to supply the production of green energy technology and electric cars as a loc site of Green Jobs Oshawa.

“These measures are needed, smart, and most importantly doable,” Mr. Geelen noted, whose local firm focuses on new strategies for businesses.

“There are also revenue opportunities here for the City beyond just always raising taxes and/or cutting service. We can really make our area a model hub”, Perry added.

Councillor Doug Elmslie requested that the People’s Economy ideas be forwarded to the City’s Economic Recovery Task Force to be included for consideration.

“These are unprecedented times. We have been enjoying an unparalleled sense of openness, interconnectedness and goodwill toward one another and concern for each other’s well-being and our communities,” noted Ms. Hale a co-leader of the campaign.

The group plans to continue consulting local residents on new economic ideas for the area and working with partners to help implement them including as a showcase to be replicated by other communities in Ontario and across Canada.

BEE A WINNER

During Committee of the Whole meeting at City of Kawartha Lakes Council on November 3, Bee City was pleased to recognize the Bee Hero Garden Challenge winners. New this year, the challenge was a socially distanced opportunity across Kawartha Lakes to help improve the quality and abundance of habitat for native pollinators.

The event received a variety of participants and was open to anyone creating a pollinator friendly garden space, including farms, home gardens, schools or businesses. Participants captured their progress throughout the summer and submitted before and after pictures of their gardens. The first year was a success, thanks to the work of several Bee Heroes: • Marylee Boston – There are many gardens and flowerbeds on Marylee’s farm and she has taken on the challenge of working with the plants that already exist and updating the gardens with pollinator friendly plants. She has made great progress and continues to create a space that is welcoming and relaxing for family and friends.

• Glenna Burns – Glenna used a wooden container built by her husband, Chuck, to house zinnias on their deck. She loves zinnias because of their colours and how many species they attract. This year there were many bees, as well as monarchs and other flyers.

• Betty Jewell – Betty’s garden has been on the family farm for over 30 years and over the years they have experimented with many perennials that promote bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. Flowers are interspersed with vegetables for beauty and as companion plants for pollinators and to minimize pests.

• Jennifer Morris – Every year, Jennifer and her

A DIFFERENT KIND OF HOLIDAY SEASON

At The Kawartha Promoter, we’re proud of our commitment to community organizations and their events. During these unprecedented times, we’ve seen organizers taking a new approach to presenting their events to maintain physical distancing and keeping their audiences safe.

This holiday season, that will continue to be the case. But we want to make sure people know what you’re doing to raise funds to keep your organizations alive. So please send information to us at editor@thepromoter.ca so we can help!

We’ve got three issues dedicated to the holidays this year – November 27, December 11 and December 18. Your local business can help us by advertising to let your customers and potential customers know you’re open ... and community organizations can take advantage of these special issues to let people know how they can help you finish strong in 2020.

husband try to enhance their small garden in front of their house. This year they decided to plant Ruby Slipper Oakleaf Hydrangeas that turned to a beautiful dusty rose colour.

• Catherine Pentiricci – During the pandemic, Catherine’s gardens became her happy place.

She worked on taking better care of her established shrub gardens this summer and brought back to life a new “secret garden” that’s a sanctuary for bees and butterflies.

• Brynley and Bryce Ridgway – This was Brynley and Bryce’s second year gardening. Last year they used a mix of annuals and three perennials, including delphinium, hostas and double cross.

This year, they received a Canadian Wildlife Federation Pollinator Kit and added blanket flowers, asters, bee balm and yarrow to attract bees and butterflies.

• Lindsay Community Garden (Bonnie O’Neill and Jamie Morris) – Bonnie and Jamie are among the gardeners at the Lindsay Community Garden, located on Fleming College’s Frost Campus, and submitted photos on behalf of the Community Garden. The garden includes 85 individual plots and many of the gardeners incorporate flowers to attract pollinators into their own plots. Bonnie and Jamie took primary responsibility for a space shared by all the gardeners, a communal pollinator patch/herb garden.

“Scientists are ringing the alarm bells that our native pollinators are disappearing at an unprecedented rate,” said Pat Warren, Chair of Bee City Kawartha Lakes.

The winners received certificates on behalf of Council, the Environmental Advisory Committee and Pollinator Action Committee, as well as gift cards to local native plant nurseries to congratulate them on their efforts.

For more information on the challenge and to see photos of the participating gardens, please visit the Bee City website. The website is also a great resource for news and best practices on ways to get involved in supporting pollinators.

SANTA IN REVERSE

Submitted by the Coboconk/Norland Chamber of Commerce

Due to COVID-19 restrictions and safety concerns, the Santa Claus Parade Volunteer Committee has decided to alter the parade for 2020. Unfortunately, we will not be able to carry on our tradition of a typical parade and kids after-party. However, we are still planning to have some Holiday fun!

We are pleased to announce that this year we will be having a Reverse Parade. It’s where the floats are stationary, and the spectators drive through in their cars.

Located in Legion Park in Coboconk, floats will be on display on Sunday, December 6, from 1pm to 3pm.

Families will be able to drive through and see some of our favourite floats that we look forward to every year, including Santa and Mrs. Claus.

We know that traditionally lots of parade participants like to give out candy or little bags of treats to the kids during the parade. That isn’t possible this year, but if you would like to give a hand-out to the kids this year, the Organizing Committee will receive your giveaways by November 22, and assemble a goodie bag for each child with all of the treats you would like to give, and Santa’s elves will put that goodie bag in their trunk.

Please let the Chamber know by November 22 that you intend to have a float or a seasonal display so we can plan out the space in Legion Park.

We hope you have fun with this new take on a classic event, and we are excited to celebrate the Holiday season with you.

EAT, SHOP AND BE MERRY

PROVINCE SUPPORTS CONNECTIVITY

The Ontario government is making a historic investment of nearly $1 billion over six years to improve and expand broadband and cellular access across the province. The $680 million recently announced is on top of the $315 million to support Up to Speed: Ontario’s Broadband and Cellular Action Plan.

“By providing high-speed broadband to unserved and underserved communities like Minden Hills, we will create good jobs, unlock new opportunities for businesses and people, and improve the quality of life for individuals and families,” said Premier Doug Ford.

“With the world online these days, if we are going to attract more investment to Ontario and compete in this highly competitive global marketplace, we need every part of our province connected with high-speed Internet.”

The investment doubles funding for the Improving Connectivity in Ontario (ICON) program, bringing the new total to $300 million. This program now has the potential to leverage more than $900 million in total partner funding to improve connectivity in areas of need across Ontario. As part of Ontario’s broadband and cellular action plan, ICON is one of several

provincial initiatives underway to improve connectivity across Northern, Eastern and Southwestern Ontario.

More than 1.4 million people in Ontario do not have broadband or cellular access, and as many as 12 percent of households in Ontario, mostly in rural, remote or Northern areas, are underserved or unserved from the perspective of broadband, according to Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) data.

“This investment will connect even more residents in communities across Ontario to faster, more reliable Internet and cell service,” said Infrastructure Minister and local MPP Laurie Scott. “This commitment to connect more people to reliable broadband and cellular service ― along with many others we’ve made ― will make it easier for more people to work and learn from home, run their businesses and connect with others.”

RMH EXPANDS CAPACITY

The Ontario government is providing $116.5 million to create up to 766 more beds at 32 hospitals and alternate health facilities across the province to help reduce surgical backlogs and improve access to care during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Ross Memorial Hospital in Lindsay will be receiving more than $1.1 million in funding to help alleviate hospital capacity pressures and reduce wait times. Over $900,000 of this investment will be used to fund a new 12-bed Geriatric Behaviour Reactivation Unit providing a local solution to stabilize patients while they wait to be transferred to long-term care.

The remainder of the funding will used towards an additional bed in the Intensive Care Unit.

“I am thrilled to announce this funding for our local hospital,” said Laurie Scott, MPP for HaliburtonKawartha Lakes- Brock. “COVID-19 has presented new challenges for our hospitals and this investment will help people in our community receive the care they deserve right here in Lindsay.”

The new beds are in addition to the previously announced investment included in Ontario’s fall preparedness plan.

“Our government is making the necessary investments to quickly and effectively increase hospital capacity and reduce wait times for patients and families,” said Health Minister Christine Elliott.

“This additional investment will ensure our health care system is able to respond to future waves of COVID-19 and help patients waiting for surgeries and other procedures get the care they need, faster.”

The government is providing $2.8 billion for the COVID-19 fall preparedness plan. It focuses on

addressing surges in COVID-19 cases and reducing health service backlogs by: • Extending hours for additional priority surgeries and diagnostic imaging; • Helping up to 850 alternate level of care patients access proper care in a home or community setting to help free up hospital capacity; • Expanding digital health and virtual services, which provide alternatives to in-person care that limit the transmission of COVID-19, while maintaining access to care; • Improving access to mental health and addictions services and supports; and • Increasing home and community care service by adding 484,000 nursing and therapy visits and 1.4 million personal support worker hours.

The province continues to work with its health sector partners and Ontario Health to develop an integrated health system capacity plan in response to COVID-19 that will help ensure hospitals can continue to provide care for COVID-19 patients and treat patients who have been waiting for surgeries and tests. The province will continue to monitor and assess the health system’s needs and address any challenges hospitals may face.

“This funding will support us in providing safe and highly specialized care for geriatric patients with dementia and related responsive behaviours; and allow us to expand our critical care capacity to 9 ICU beds,” says Kelly Isfan, President and CEO, Ross Memorial Hospital, “We are grateful for this investment in our community.”

KIDS WHO CARE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

Submitted by Robyn James

This holiday season, 100 Kids Who Care is rallying all children in the City of Kawartha Lakes to join them in making cards for seniors to remind them they are not alone. 100 Kids Who Care has chosen to work with the Community Care Foundation in support of Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes’ Meals on Wheels program for this campaign with the goal to raise funds for the charity organization. Meals on Wheels ensures the nutritional needs of seniors living alone are met, while also providing social interaction and a safety check from the volunteers who make the deliveries.

“With vulnerable seniors being impacted hard by

the COVID-19 pandemic, many senior citizens living at home have been isolated and missing daily social connectedness,” says Christina Charpentier, one of the parent organizers of 100 Kids Who Care Kawartha Lakes. “The Kindness Cards campaign is a great way for kids to do something kind for our community’s elders at a time when they need it most. This campaign also allows us to raise both money and awareness for Meals on Wheels, an important local program that is run by Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes.”

The premise of the Kindness Card campaign is simple: Kids make holiday cards for seniors in exchange for community donations to Meals on Wheels. There will also be a draw where kids can win prizes for their cards.

Kindness Cards

Until December 15, any child that wants to participate is encouraged to make Kindness Cards for seniors during the holidays. Cards can take any shape or form, and can include season’s greetings and well wishes to seniors. The cards do not need to include the name of a senior, they can be generic, and children can opt to sign their first name on the card if they

choose. Kids are being asked to make a minimum of 2 cards each. For smaller children or kids who prefer not to make their own cards, colouring pages will be available to download at www.100kidskawarthalakes. com. Cards can be dropped off at participating locations any time before December 15.

At the drop off location, large envelopes will be provided for each child to place their Kindness Cards, and contact information forms will be available so that kids can be entered into the draw to win prizes. All Kindness Cards will be delivered safely to seniors through the Meals on Wheels program before December 25.

Participating locations are Fresh Fuell at 146 Kent Street West in Lindsay from Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm and Tradewind Toys at 110 Kent Street West in Lindsay from Monday to Friday 10am to 4pm and Saturday 10am to 2pm.

Fundraiser for Meals on Wheels The public can donate to Meals on Wheels campaign to support the Kindness Cards campaign online at www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/ community-care-foundation-kawartha-lakes/p2p/ TheKindnessCard/. Donation forms will also be available at participating locations (see below) for any cash or cheque donations.

You can also drop off donations at the Community Care Foundation (152 Angeline St. North, Lindsay) or call the Foundation at 705-324-7323 ext. 164 to make a donation over the telephone.

100 Kids Who Care is hoping to raise as much money as possible to bring awareness to this important cause. Charitable tax receipts will be available and all proceeds will go to the Meals on Wheels program for seniors.

Participation Draw for Kids

Every child who submits a Kindness Card and has filled in a contact information form (which can be found at participating locations) will be entered into a draw for the chance to win a number of different prizes. The draw will close on December 15. The parent/guardian of the child/children who have won a prize will be contacted.

“We are so excited to partner with 100 Kids Who Care during this difficult period for so many of our clients, many of whom are unable to see their families due to the high risk nature of COVID-19,” says Ryan Alexander, Director of Community Support Services, Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes. “These Kindness Cards from children are a small but powerful way to brighten a senior’s day and hopefully make them feel less lonely during the holidays.”

100 Kids Who Care Kawartha Lakes is a local organization that gives children the opportunity to learn about their community, empowers them to become advocates for organizations and issues that matter to them, learn the importance of giving back and how they can use their time, treasure and talent to make a difference, and see the impact they can have right here at home in the City of Kawartha Lakes.

Horoscopes

November 13 to 26

By Melodie McCullough

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Have you ever been called a daydreamer, Leo? Some people might think this word is a critique. Don’t believe it! The dreamers of this world are the people that make things happen!

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Don’t overburden yourself with unachievable goals that only leave you disappointed with yourself, Aquarius. Set some small, simple tasks -- maybe even just one -- each day. You will feel better when you are able to accomplish them.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) During this phase, Virgo, you may struggle with questions -- questions for which you need answers. And you may be faced with decisions, big and small. Take heart knowing you can turn to others for help.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) “Love must be as much a light as a flame.”: Henry David Thoreau. Yes, remember, Pisces, that love usually starts with a burst of flame. But the true test of love is if, as the flame fades, the light still burns brightly.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Going with the crowd gets you nowhere, Libra, except in the same direction as everyone else. And who wants that? Step aside and decide for yourself the path you take. It’s less noisy, and less thorny -- and it will take you places no one else has ever been!

Aries (March to April 20) Success is loving your work!! It’s not money, three cars in the driveway, or a grand, expensive holiday. These things may be enjoyable, but if you don’t love your job, it’s an empty livelihood.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Don’t be afraid to be alone, Taurus. Sometimes it helps to take a break from the constant chaos of our lives and sit quietly alone with just our own thoughts and feelings -- and nothing more!

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Surround yourself with the kind of love YOU want. As a Gemini, you look for thrills and adventure in a relationship, but also crave security and stability -- this makes you VERY interesting!

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Unconditional love is a rare and beautiful thing, Gemini -- and sometimes very complicated.

It’s described as being infinite, without measure or boundaries. Can you offer this to someone?

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) You don’t have to prove yourself, Scorpio, to you, your family, friends or co-workers.

They know you are a good person, and, if they don’t, they should! So, stop pushing yourself to be better -- you already are!

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) Your health is your main concern, Sag. The pandemic has taken its toll on most people, emotionally and physically. So, rest and do what is necessary to stave off even more illness.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) We sense a surge of energy coming your way, dear Cap. Whether it is an outside source that somehow will envelop you, or whether it comes from deep inside you, don’t hesitate to make the best of it while you can.
