A MESSAGE FROM MAYOR AUGUSTYN On behalf of Pelham Council, I am honoured to extend greetings to you in our 2011 Municipal & Community Services Brochure.

From breathtaking vistas, to babbling brooks, to plentiful orchards and rich agricultural soil, Pelham enjoys a refreshingly rural charm.

From the historic villages of Effingham, Fenwick, Fonthill, Ridgeville, and North Pelham, the Town of Pelham remains grounded with a distinctive, small-town feel.

Because of the dedicated members of our service and sports clubs, associations, and other committed volunteers, our neighbour-helping-neighbour community continues to prosper and grow.

Home to diverse and creative businesses, Pelham also offers unique goods and services. Their continued success depends on our patronage.

For your convenience, information about each of these distinctive community elements is included in this brochure.

Should you require any additional information, Town staff will gladly assist you.

I am proud that our unique urban and rural blend and these other characteristics make Pelham the most vibrant, creative, and caring community in Niagara. Let’s continue to work together to ensure that Pelham remains a wonderful place to live, work, play and visit.

Yours sincerely,

Dave Augustyn, Mayor

Pelham Town Council 2010 to 2014

250 Thorold Road West, 3rd Floor, Welland L3C 3W2 905-788-3135 Fax 905-788-1121 Website: www.npca.ca The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Foundation is a local environmental charity that helps to protect and conserve land and water resources throughout the Niagara Peninsula. Founded in 1969, the Foundation actively raises funds to support the ongoing environmental efforts of the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority.

Led by a volunteer Board of Directors, over $4 million has been raised to date to support projects like the building of wheelchairaccessible fishing piers, trails and an observation platform at St. Johns Conservation Area; leading the campaign to purchase and protect the Wainfleet Bog; contributing to restoration works along the Welland River; and completing the new Centre for Conservation at Ball’s Falls.

ADOPT-A-TRAIL PROGRAM To raise community awareness and pride in our conservation lands, the NPCA began this program in 1994. The Authority is inviting local community groups, schools and environmental clubs to participate in minor trail maintenance on conservation lands such as litter pick-up, weed control and raking of trails.

Right in our own backyard lies St. Johns, a 76 acre conservation

250 Thorold Rd. West, Welland, ON L3C 3W2 905-788-3135 Fax 905-788-1121 email: mstack@npca.ca At the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority we are working together for a healthier environment by: • Providing leadership in the wise use and stewardship of our natural resources; • Promoting an ecosystem approach to watershed management activities; and • Partnering with our communities to further the work of conservation.

Established on April 30, 1959, the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority encompasses 2424 square kilometres including the entire Niagara Region, 20 per cent of the City of Hamilton and 25 per cent of Haldimand County, serving a population base of approximately 460,000. One of the most complex watersheds in the province, the NPCA’s jurisdiction includes lands drained by the Welland River, 20 Mile Creek and 40 Mile Creek, the largest being the Welland River with drainage basins in Lake Ontario, Lake Erie and the Niagara River. Other significant resources include 117 kilometres of Great Lakes shoreline, 67 km of that on Lake Erie and 50 km on Lake Ontario.

The Conservation Authority owns approximately 7,000 acres of environmentally significant and natural land including Niagara Escarpment, provincially significant wetlands and woodlots throughout the watershed that are managed for regional recreation, heritage preservation and conservation opportunities. Conservation areas such as St. John’s, Ball’s Falls, Chippawa Creek, Long Beach, Binbrook and the Wainfleet Bog offer endless opportunities for outdoor recreation and education. The NPCA also cares for the Comfort Maple, believed to be Canada’s oldest living sugar maple tree, located in North Pelham.

Our Water Management program focuses on prevention, protection and emergency response. Dam and reservoir operations, and flood warning/forecasting are important components of the water management program. Our extensive mapping program identifies lands that are prone to flooding or erosion, as well as those considered environmentally significant.

In addition to Water and Land Management responsibilities, the NPCA also coordinates the implementation of the Niagara River Remedial Action Plan.

Conservation Achievement Awards are presented annually in November to publicly recognize individuals, groups and businesses that have voluntarily made efforts to further conservation efforts in our watershed. Conservation activities involving the wise use of water, land, forest or fish and wildlife resources can be nominated for these awards. For more information about specific conservation areas or programs please call the NPCA at 905-788-3135 or visit the website at www.conservation-niagara.on.ca.

Our goal is to return the animal to optimum health and release it back to their native habitat when they have recovered or are old enough.

The continued erosion and destruction of wild habitats is an evergrowing problem for native wild animals and we have an obligation to mitigate the damage that humans do to these species. We are not funded by any government agency or level of government and depend solely on donations from the public.

When you find an ill or injured animal, NEVER feed it or give it any water—to do so, can cause death. Confine the animal to a secure, covered, escape-proof box and keep it in a warm, dark and quiet place, away from people and pets. Contact us for further instructions as not all animals found are orphaned. Do not handle wild animals. Remember also that it is against the law to keep them in your possession for more than 24 hours. They must be turned over to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator in your area or if badly injured, call your local humane society for immediate assistance. For further information see our website at www.niagarawildlifehaven. org or call us at 905-735-9556.

Since the program’s start, citizens have become interested in also adopting community parks, gardens and trails. It is a way for certain environmentally conscientious citizens, community and civic organizations, private businesses and industry to contribute to a cleaner environment and a more beautiful Town.

Under the program, groups and individuals agree to adopt a section of Town right-of-way, garden, park or trail and keep it clean.

In addition to the satisfaction gained by providing a cleaner environment, the volunteers are recognized by a sign erected by the Town acknowledging their efforts. For further information, please contact Community Services by phone at 905-892-2607 ext 312 or by email at vicvanr@pelham.ca.

Wilson 905-892-6935 The Knights of Columbus is the largest Catholic Fraternity in the World, founded in 1882. St. Alexander Council 13903 in Fonthill was inaugurated in 2005 and has continued to grow through the leadership example of Past Grand Knights, Robert Dipersio (20052006), Ivan Roden (2006-2008), Justin O’Donnell (2008-2009), and Richard McDermott (2009-2010) as well as our spiritual chaplain, Rev. Peter T. Rowe (2005-present). We’ve raised funds through the annual Ontario Car Raffle supporting the Arthritis Society in which we were among the top four selling councils in Ontario. Moreover, we provide financial support to the community and parishes of St. Alexander in Fonthill and St. Ann’s in Fenwick.

In addition, we donated to Development and Peace, St. Alexander Youth Group and certificate of appreciation and gift to Mr. Leon Lowry for his emphatic dedication and support selling the Knights of Columbus Car Raffle tickets. Both financial and physical assistance were given to St. Alexander parish throughout the year. Foods from various activities were donated to the Welland Soup Kitchen.

EVENTS Sept – June – Cater Lions Dinners Feb14 – Teddy Bears Picnic June – Strawberry Short Cake at Pelham Farmers’ Market July 01 – Canada Day

The Fonthill Lions Club was chartered in 1945. Membership at this time is 14 very active members. Over the years we have done much to provide recreation and meeting facilities in Fonthill. The first project is what is now known as Marlene Stewart Striet Park. Much money was provided for the first ice pad and the swimming pool in the Park. We also raised a considerable amount of money for the construction of the present Arena. In the early 70’s the present Lions Club property was purchased and a building was erected.

This building is used extensively by local sports and service groups for meetings. Pelham Slo Pitch uses the ball diamond during the summer. Our canteen is open week nights during ball season at the G.L. Klager Park. The Club runs ball tournaments, hosts the area farmers at our Agriculture Night, has Turkey and Ham Raffles, participates in the Santa Claus Parade and takes part in the Canada Day celebrations at Harold Black Park.

Local groups such as Pelham Cares, E.L. Crossley graduates, minor sports and many others also benefit from the work of the Fonthill Lions. Every year at Christmas we purchase gift bags for the residents of the David S. Horne Home. We also support Lions Foundation of Canada (guide dogs), Camp for Scouts, Sight First II, Lake Joseph Centre (camp for the blind), Camp Dorset, (dialysis Camp), Lions Effective Speaking as well as many other Lions sponsored projects. The Club is very involved with the Pelham Food Drive and the Fonthill Lions Hall is used to provide lunch to the volunteers. Over the last few years we have made sizable donations to the Welland Hospital Foundation for eye care equipment and the Dialysis Unit.

Each year along with the Fonthill Lioness we participate in the Big Bike Ride for Heart & Stroke.

We have an ongoing project of collecting used eye glasses that are sent to third world countries. Glasses can be dropped off at Klager’s Meats 1507 Pelham Street.

The Fonthill Lions will once again this year be having their Super Draw commencing in April with the draw being made Oct 15, 2011.

This year they will be having Pasta Dinners the 3rd Saturday on the month from October until April, excluding December.

The Fonthill Lions Hall can be rented for functions for up to 50 people and in the summer the pavilion is also available for rent for picnics and family reunions. For rentals contact Pat Dilts at 905892-8327.

PELHAM BLOCK PARENTS Sandra Warden 905-892-1168

The Pelham Block Parent program is in our community. October is Block Parent month and this is the time we go into Pelham schools to teach our children about the program. Our children are taught to look for red & white Block Parent signs when they are in trouble or frightened. They know that a Block Parent home is a safe home.

The Block Parent program is moving in a new direction with the changing times. Block Parents is no longer just for children. Walkers, joggers, adults, and seniors alike can use our homes.

More volunteers are urgently required to become actively involved as Pelham Block Parents and as Executive Members.

Horse Alternative Therapeutic Services PO Box 865, Fonthill, ON L0S 1E0 905-704-9820 or 905-650-7850 www.hatsniagara.org.

HATS is a non-profit organization in the Niagara Region of Ontario, which partners the power of horses with people who have physical, mental or emotional special needs to help them unbridle their individual potential. Riding frees the physically challenged from the confines of assistive devices. It improves posture, balance, muscle tone, attention span, communication, social integration and self-esteem.

Volunteers play a vital role in our organization. We have worked with over two hundred volunteers since HATS was founded in 2002. It takes three volunteers to assist a rider on horseback: two to attend as sidewalkers and one to lead. Family members of riders are also encouraged to participate. Volunteer training is provided and hours can be counted towards a student’s community service requirements.

HATS also has a few fundraising events every year and we are always seeking assistance for those events. We are also seeking new Board of Directors members.

Financial donations can now also be made online by clicking the “Canada Helps” button on our website.

HATS is located at Classic Farms in Pelham. We run year round and, in inclement weather, ride in the indoor arena. Visits can be arranged by appointment by calling Krista Mills (President) at 905704-9820 or Sue Annan (Instructor) at 905-650-7850.
