Municipal Information A Message from the Mayor

With another Bruce Peninsula winter now a faint memory, it's exciting to plan for the long, mellow summer days we all love so much. Entering my fourth summer season as Mayor, I am particularly enjoying the energy and inspiration which comes from our beautiful corner of the world. The Town of South Bruce Peninsula, this place where we live and work and play, is special in so many ways and we're fortunate to have a wide variety of opportunities where we can explore our individual interests.

From organized sports to social clubs to activities for the sports and fitness enthusiasts, there's an outlet available where we can connect, learn new skills and continue to develop the best person we can be.

It's no secret that important contributors to health and fitness are staying active and being involved. Here in the Town of South Bruce Peninsula, the land, the water and even the air are ours to explore. Miles of sandy beach and shoreline, and a wide variety of trails keep our walkers, runners and hikers happy. Beautiful country roads and our picturesque hamlets make for excellent bike rides. We can entertain ourselves endlessly in and on the water as we swim and sail, paddle board and kayak. And as for the air? Hang-gliding anyone?

We connect with our community and meet interesting people when we get involved in organized activities. When we join a new club or try a new sport or class, we're also involved in the nourishing activities of life-long learning and fitness development which contribute so strongly to our sense of well-being and our overall health.

So, join in.... leaf through the pages of this guide and be inspired. Push your fitness levels a little with a new sport. Learn a new skill. Try a new activity! Experience the magic which this beautiful natural area offers and know that you're doing something wonderful for yourself. There's always room to learn more, do more, share more. I would love to hear your ideas for new activities and opportunities for learning as well. I want to help make the Town of South Bruce Peninsula a place where we can make the most of our precious leisure time whether it's during our idyllic summers or our bracing winters. If you have a special skill or area of expertise that you'd be interested in sharing with others, give me a call! Perhaps we can add you to this book!

Enjoy the summer of 2018!

Piping Plovers Piping Plovers arrive on their breeding grounds in Canada in late April or May. Males establish a territory and attract a mate with dramatic aerial and ground displays. Clutches usually contain 4 eggs. Both parents participate in the incubation of eggs and care of nestlings, though the young are able to find their own food within hours of hatching.

If you’re visiting Sauble Beach where Piping Plovers are known to nest, make sure to clean up after your visit, as leaving garbage or food on the beach can attract predators that may eat eggs and chicks. As with all wildlife, don’t disturb nests, young or adults. Be respectful & observe from a distance.

The Piping Plover and its habitat are protected under Ontario’s Endangered Species Act (www.ontario.ca/speciesatrisk) which protects regulated species and their habitats and federally under the Migratory Birds Convention Act and Species at Risk Act.

Allenford

Provincial Highway 21 dissects Allenford leaving the north half in South Bruce Peninsula and the south half in Arran-Elderslie. A village located on the banks of the Sauble River, halfway between Owen Sound and Southampton, was named for its first settler, James Allen. The Allenford Curling Club is a constant hub of activity. Attend special events throughout the entire year or try curling in the winter. This small community has a post office, gas bar, restaurant, garage, hardware store, ball diamond, convenience store and several home renovation and construction contractors.

Clavering

Located on Provincial Highway #6, half way between Wiarton and Hepworth, Clavering is a small residential crossroads. Two-thirds of Clavering is located on the east side of the highway and in Georgian Bluffs, Grey County, the remainder is in the former Township of Amabel.

Colpoy's Bay

The first settlers in Albemarle took up land to the north of Colpoy's Bay in 1857. The settlement of Colpoy’s Bay was named after Sir John Colpoy, an admiral in the British Navy. Trading became prominent in the settlement with the establishment of saw and grist mills and wharf facilities. Today, visitors can enjoy the public dock, tennis courts and access to the Bruce Ski Club trails. Try renting a cottage or enjoy a hike along the Bruce Trail.

Elsinore

Mr. Sweetman, who was an Inspector in the post office department, suggested the name Elsinore as some members of the Royal Family were visiting the historic site of Elsinore in Denmark at that time, 1865. The Elsinore Community Centre is host to a number of community activities as well as available for rent for family reunions and social gatherings.

Hepworth

Hepworth honours the birthplace of John Wesley in Epworth, England. The "H" was added to the official spelling of Epworth to match the way the name was pronounced by William Spencer and the other English Settlers. Hepworth's crossroads lead to Sauble Beach on Lake Huron, the Bruce Peninsula and the Bruce Trail overlooking Georgian Bay, to Owen Sound and South Bruce's rolling countryside, diverse destinations all. This community has various businesses including a variety store and a gas station. You can rent canoes or buy a knapsack; or have your vehicle repaired, in Hepworth.

Tim Horton's provides great coffee and a warm gathering spot. The Wilbur J. Cunningham Memorial Park hosts community ball activities, a playground for the little ones. The community Post Office is located at Cindy's Variety. Those looking for some recreation opportunities can enjoy a round of golf at Northern Dunes, ski on the Sawmill Cross-Country Ski Trails, snowmobiling on the various trails or camping at Whispering Pines Campground.

Hope Bay

Hope Bay is nestled between Bruce Road 9 and the shores of Georgian Bay, 17 km north of Wiarton.

Visitors can find a natural sand beach and access to the Bruce Trail and snowmobile trail network. The Hope Bay Forest Provincial Nature Reserve is a geologist’s heaven. Discover outcroppings of natural bedrock and subsurface karst pavement. The nature reserve is situated in the neighbouring municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula. While in Hope Bay, enjoy its beautiful sunsets, peaceful beach, and great hiking, Hope Bay continues to be a relaxing retreat.

Interpretive signs explain the various plant life as you wind your way back to the bush line. Completely wheelchair and stroller proof the boardwalk is a great stop for children of all ages.

Children do need to stay on the boardwalk so they don't damage the plants or get their feet wet. Community facilities include a marina, dock, ball diamond and great swimming areas.

Kids can play on hay bales, participate in outdoor games and can fill their tummies together with their family with locally produced syrup served on a plate of hot pancakes and Sullivan’s breakfast sausage. If you are lucky you’ll get a photo opportunity with Wiarton Willie and the Easter Bunny. No need to drive – the Festival runs free buses from downtown Wiarton to and from the site all day. As the sun goes down in the Valley, the dancing begins – once you’ve experienced a Purple Valley Stomp, you’ll always be back to hear house band Midnight Blue for years to come!

Red Bay and Howdenvale

These communities are host to fantastic Lake Huron sunsets, excellent swimming, sailing, birding, stargazing, biking, and wildflowers at Petrel Point, canoeing, snow shoeing and cross-country skiing. Red Bay is located north of Oliphant and boast the prettiest sunsets in Ontario. The Red Bay Park is located on the Huron Shoreline at Red Bay. A small dock extends out into the lake allowing the adventurous to jump into the shallow sandy water. A large expanse of sand keeps the children entertained building sand castles and tunnels. Red Bay, one of the beautiful tranquil places you will find in South Bruce Peninsula.

Swimming Information SWIMMING REGISTRATION Saturday, June 2nd, 10:00 am to 12:00 noon Town Hall Council Chambers **New for 2018 – We are now offering Lifesaving Society Lessons

While the names of our classes are changing, our commitment to providing excellent instruction remains the same.

Please see the chart on page 17 to identify which level your child should register in for the upcoming session.

Instructors and Assistant Instructors

All classes will be taught by a fully-certified Lifesaving Society Instructor. Our Instructors have spent over 200 hours taking courses and volunteering in Aquatic Instructional Programs to prepare them to teach your children.

Facility Swim Test

The recreational swim admission standard is applied to all public swims. Aquatic staff may ask any participant for a demonstration of swimming ability if they feel there is a question of personal safety. To successfully pass the facility swim test, individuals must: Swim on their front for one width of the pool successfully without stopping, must be a recognizable stroke and ability to put face in water.

First Lesson

In our efforts to ensure that your child receives the best possible instruction, we ask that you bring your child’s most recent report card with him/her to the first session. This will help their instructor tailor their classes to effectively meet the needs of each child.

Moving to the next level of Lifesaving Society

The skills and strokes in the Lifesaving Society levels are divided into a series of progressions that build on previous abilities. Once a swimmer has achieved the prerequisite ability, the swimmer will be ready for the next series of challenges. If a swimmer proceeds without building this solid base, he or she will find it more difficult to achieve success at the next stage. Your child will achieve physical developmental milestones at his or her own rate, which is important because not all children develop at the same rate. It is important to look at the successes achieved during each lesson set, knowing that taking a level again offers the opportunity to improve on the skills that are the building blocks for success at the next level. Your child’s instructor may recommend a change in level if they feel your child is registered in an inappropriate level. Staff reserve the right to move a child if circumstances dictate. Some levels are combined and run as one class. Participants are taught the content required for the level they are in.

After Level 10 - next steps for your child …

Once your child has successfully completed Swimmer 10, he or she has plenty of options:  Junior Lifeguard  National Lifeguard Service  Bronze Star, Bronze Medallion & Bronze Cross  Instructor Training

Inclement Weather

In the event of rain, classes will be held as scheduled. If there is thunder and lightning, water safety will be taught in the change rooms.

Pool Closure

In the event of pool closure due to mechanical failure, staff will contact Parent/Guardian as soon as possible.

Questions or Concerns?

The Pool Supervisor or Assistant Supervisor are on duty at all times during the lessons. They are the lesson experts and are available to answer your questions and assist with any concerns. Please feel free to speak with the Supervisor or Assistant Supervisor immediately if you have a concern rather than waiting until the last class. Parents/Guardians are welcome to watch their child’s swimming lessons from the viewing area outside the pool. **NOTE: Town of South Bruce Peninsula reserves the right to cancel any program that fails to meet minimum registration numbers. Schedules and rates are subject to change. Participants may be offered a refund, credit on account or opportunity to transfer to another available class as per Policy TR.1.2. If participant cancels, refund may be subject to Administration fee as per Policy TR.1.2.

For those that may not recall, I was the Manager of Public Works for the Town from 2007 to 2009. Since that time I have gained more experience, education and opportunities, bringing the strength of those experiences to the Town. I have a long history of connection with the community and it has been a major part of my life for the past 50 years.

I look forward to providing support to the wonderful communities throughout the municipality over the next several years. I have always been amazed at the level of community spirit and support throughout the municipality. Our natural resources are some of the best in the world and we are all fortunate to have the ability to be connected to this area.

I encourage you to participate in the recreational programs and community events throughout the year, enjoy your time in our community, and take the opportunity to visit any one of our wonderful shops, restaurants, and businesses. It is the community as a whole that makes the Town of South Bruce Peninsula a great community.
