OVER THE BACK FENCE

Another long weekend is here, and I’m sufficiently recovered from my episode with COVID so I can spend time with family and friends!

Maybe a little fishing is on the agenda ...

On a much more serious note, on Monday of this week, Pope Francis issued a historic apology to Indigenous Peoples for the Roman Catholic Church’s role in residential schools. His remarks, which included words like “humbled” and “ashamed”, have given me some hope that this will be at least the beginning of longawaited plans for reconciliation with the Indigenous people. Not only the thousands who survived the abuse, but also the culture as a whole. It’s no longer acceptable to sweep this under the rug of Canadian history ... we must learn to listen to the truth and

make amends.

It is way past time for leaders in both the church and governments to do what’s right in reconciliation for the treatment of Indigenous Peoples.

While we can’t take away the pain of the past, we can ensure that the future is better. There is so much we can discover by sharing our cultures, without putting one above the other.

There is a curiosity about Indigenous spirituality and culture that transcends the egregious behaviour of past generations. We need to provide opportunities for our young people to learn from other cultures, not be afraid of them.

I am hopeful that the words of Pope Francis, and others, will be recognized for what they are ... a starting point. This is by no means the end of the discussion and what comes next from the Catholic Church, and our governments, will be even more important.

In the meantime, my friends, stay well. Enjoy your long weekend and remember, be kind!

City Hall CKL COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS

The following are highlights of the Regular Council Meeting on July 19, 2022. The meeting can be viewed on the City’s YouTube channel.

Planning Advisory Committee Meeting The Minutes of the July 6, 2022 Planning Advisory Committee Meeting were received and the recommendations were adopted. The PAC recommendations will see up to 3,139 new units of housing reaching the next stages of their respective levels of approval in the following developments: • Up to 1884 units in Tribute North (considered and referred back to staff at second Public Meeting) • Up to 1035 units in Tribute South (considered and referred back to staff at initial Public Meeting) • 98 Units in Morningside Phase 2 (Subdivision Agreement approval to permit construction activities) • 122 Units in Sugarwood Phase 2 (Subdivision Agreement approval to permit construction activities) Challenges Confronting Kawartha Lakes Housing Corporation (KLH) The KLH Board requests that Council direct Housing Services staff to, in collaboration with KLH staff, explore new approaches and recommend specific strategies to address the complex challenges confronting KLH and other community housing providers.

The requested scope of the review should consider the following: • Adjusting or redefining the services and supports provided by KLH; • Revising goals, commitments, obligations, expectations, funding formulae, etc.; • Developing and implementing a plan to advocate to the upper levels of government and other sectors to collaborate and effect system-level change.

A further motion that City staff be directed to collaborate with KLH staff to explore new approaches and strategies to address the challenges as requested

by KLH. The motion was passed and the collaboration will move forward with City staff directed to report back to Council with recommendations as part of the 2023 budget process.

Old Mill Heritage Conservation District Study Study results from a two-year review of the area known as Old Mill – Pumpkin Hollow have come

July 29, 2022 - The Kawartha Promoter

forward to Council recommending a plan to move forward.

The primary significance of the area is that it is the original settlement site of Lindsay (Purdy’s Mills) and also contains a large number of historic residential properties. Public consultation is largely in support of the designation, as heard through a series of public meetings and participation on Jump In, Kawartha Lakes.

Council adopted the recommendation to develop a heritage conservation district plan to guide future development in the area. It will take approximately 12 months to complete with more public consultation to be included.

2022 Municipal Election - Compliance Audit Committee Council authorized the City Clerk to advertise to fill the positions on the Compliance Audit Committee for the 2022 Municipal Election. Under the Municipal Election Act (MEA), “an elector who is entitled to vote in an election and believes on reasonable grounds that a candidate has contravened a provision of this Act relating to election campaign finances may apply for a compliance audit of the candidate’s election campaign finances”. The City Clerk along with the Director of Corporate Services will interview candidates and report back to Council on the recommended membership for the Compliance Audit Committee.

A by-law will be brought forward prior to October 1, 2022 to appoint the members of the Compliance Audit Committee and to adopt the Terms of Reference for the Compliance Audit Committee for the 2022 and 2026 calendar years.

If you are interested in serving on the Compliance Audit Committee, submit an application and your resume to the Office of the City Clerk by 4pm on August 5, 2022. If you would like to receive a hardcopy of this application and the terms of references, please contact election@kawarthalakes.ca or 705-324-9411 extension 1888, or the City’s website under the Careers and Volunteering and Boards and Committees pages.

For more information, please contact Cathie Ritchie, City Clerk at election@kawarthalakes.ca, 705324-9411 extension 1295.

Development Concierge Program Council adopted a Development Concierge Program that will provide business owners, developers and investors with a formal service to help facilitate the development application process through a single and consistent point of contact throughout the project’s lifecycle. This program will focus on larger and complex employment and industrial and will assist businesses with navigating the development aspects of their project. It will connect them with a range of services offered by Economic Development including sector specific business programming and support, funding opportunities and connections to the wider business network and community in Kawartha Lakes.

Release of the Fenelon Falls C.H.E.S.T Funds The Kawartha Works Community Co-operative (KWCC) have been approved for funding in the amount of $7,500 from the Fenelon Falls Legacy

C.H.E.S.T Funds. KWCC’s purpose is to improve the social infrastructure in Kawartha Lakes by enabling the creation, development and management of notfor-profit initiatives with artistic, cultural, recreational, health, environmental, economic and social improvement aims. The funds will be used to install three wayfinding signs for the Grove Theatre.

Curbside Leaf and Yard Collection After a successful pilot program, staff recommended that curbside leaf and yard collection at high density multi-residential locations and trailer parks will take place each year along with regular leaf and yard collection events beginning in 2023. Overall there were no major operational or timing issues while collecting leaf and yard waste from the new locations during the pilot program. Adding these locations to City-wide leaf and yard collection events will help to divert waste from landfills while only adding approximately $9,000 to the annual budget.

Fourth Route for Lindsay Transit Service Council adopted a staff report recommending to add a fourth route to the Lindsay Transit service to service the community in the northwest portion of Lindsay. The route will be finalized with public input to come over the summer months. Watch for opportunities on the transit buses as well as on Jump In, Kawartha Lakes. Modifications will also be made to enhance service on the other three existing routes.

Fenelon Falls Cemetery Board Through Council’s direction in 2018 to consolidate terms of reference for Committees and Boards, it was recommended that the Fenelon Falls Cemetery Board (FFCB) consolidate with the Kawartha Lakes Cemetery Committee (KLCC). This Committee oversees a number of cemeteries across the municipality. The consolidation was paused until January 1, 2023.

At that time, the administration, management and operations of the Fenelon Falls Cemetery were set to be consolidated into KLCC. A motion was adopted to have the Fenelon Falls Cemetery Board remain intact through the end of 2023 for an orderly transition.

Juniper Street property in Fenelon Falls Two deputations were made by the public concerning the Juniper Street property that had been declared surplus by the City in 2014. The property has been in negotiations for sale to the Fenelon Community Housing Initiative for social housing but the sale did not proceed. After studies determined that servicing capacity is not sufficient to accommodate the proposed development on the property and that re-zoning for residential use would not be permitted, staff recommended that the surplus declaration be revoked. A further motion was adopted that the staff

IT’S A DISASTER!

The talented troupe at Globus Theatre in Bobcaygeon present The Great 44th Fowler’s Falls Fall Fair Disaster from August 3 to 13 at the Lakeview Arts Barn.

Written by Sarah Quick, this sounds like a funny romp. Here’s the premise: The fall fair is an annual highlight for the residents of tiny Fowler’s Falls and it is abound with traditions. But an influx of new residents in town threatens to throw things into disarray. The talent show is thrust into turmoil, the Harvest Queen pageant is a fashion disaster, the homecraft committee suspect sabotage and the rooster crowing competition crown holder looks to be the victim of fowl play. Stakes are high, the competition is fierce and it looks like someone would kill to be the winner. Will this 44th anniversary event be the town’s downfall or will fairness prevail?

Enjoy dinner and the show for $85 per person (plus HST and service fee). You can find out more at ww.lakeviewartsbarn.com.

The Fenelon Falls Senior Citizens’ Club celebrated a significant milestone in June, commemorating 50 years of club operations and service to the community.

Attending the celebration, Laurie Scott, MPP for Haliburton–Kawartha Lakes-Brock took the opportunity to present to Jean Smith, the longstanding club president with a 50th Anniversary congratulatory scroll. Laurie also stepped in to draw the winning grand raffle tickets.

Congratulations were extended to all prize winners: 1st prize of $3,000 cash ~ Anne Kulmala, who was in attendance to receive her prize; 2nd prize of $1,500 Sobeys gift cards ~ Chris Handley; 3rd prize of Dinner/Theatre Combo ~ Jan Craig Worrall; 4th prize of tree/planting from Rockwood ~ Heather Hume; and the 5th prize of a Gift certificate from KATVA ~ John Ireland.

The Club once again thanked all those supporting the current fundraising efforts. There is much appreciation to all who bought tickets, sold tickets and helped promote the Club. It could not have been such a success without their energy and support. Many thanks to all the generous sponsors who have made this fundraising event and celebration possible at this time of such hardship for so many. It is never more

demonstrated amazing generosity and commitment.

This summer, the Club looks forward to welcoming increased participation and engagement with community groups and individuals, interested in sharing this amazing venue and community facility.

However, the sustainability challenge still exists, and efforts continue to raise much needed funds. Progress has been made but much more support is required.

The Corporate and Business Partners appeal continues, as the Club endeavours to further secure a strong and viable future for this much-loved community asset at 58 Murray Street in Fenelon Falls. Watch out for renewed contact and in the meantime, be in touch to make a financial contribution or to inquire on the community partners program, call 705-879-2719 or email margaret@jacksgroup.ca.

The Seniors Citizens’ Club of Fenelon and its membership have served the needs of the Fenelon Falls seniors for more than 50 years. It is a not-for profit, registered charitable organization with its entire operating budget coming from club membership fees, fees from club activities, donations, rental contracts, and fundraising activities. New members are always welcome, an application can be picked up at the club or by visiting our website. The small and dedicated group of volunteers who offer years of experience running this amazing organization and this building has grown smaller and there is an urgent need for additional volunteers to ensure that the facility remains open and available for all who use it. The club board invites existing club members and/or community members to step up and get involved. All support and assistance is welcome.

Inquiries on how to assist and support both in volunteer time and financial contributions are welcomed and encouraged. Please call 705-88714

Horoscopes Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Sometimes, Aquarius, a new love can seem perfect. But sooner or later a bit too much drama can appear and it’s wise to simply let go and realise you just weren’t meant for each other.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Financial matters will play an important role for you, Pisces, during the coming phase. Relax! It’s not bad news. But you will need to stay sharp!

Aries (March 21 to April 20) You don’t need to depend on the approvals of others, Aries. Know your own self-worth and respond with confidence to any and all situations.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Don’t be in a rush to complete your work or your hobbies, Taurus.

Take the time to do a thorough job and enjoy the process, not just the end product.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) You may need to call on your inner resources in the coming days, dear Gemini, as you may face obstacles. Gather strength from within and also from friends and family.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) “There are darknesses in life and there are lights, and you are one of the lights, the light of all lights.”: Bram Stoker. Be the shining star you were meant to be, Cancer!

July 29 to August 11

By Melodie McCullough

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Time for a nice, long rest, Leo! Do yourself a big favour. You have been busy and you need to slow down and relax.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) What may now seem as onerous work obligations may play out in a beneficial way, Virgo. Keep a steady watch for future career opportunities!

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Every day offers a fresh start, Libra. You may be overwhelmed right now and life can be difficult. Sleep on your troubles and avoid worries. Begin tomorrow anew.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Failure will most often lead to learning something, and learning will take you towards change. So you see, Scorpio, there is never a reason to fear failure.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) Your creative side is calling, dear Sag. Don’t resist! Take up the paint brush, write that story, get up on stage. Remember, in the words of Alice Walker: “Whenever you are creating beauty around you, you are restoring your own soul.”

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) It’s easy to say ‘hang in there’, but it can often ring hollow, Capricorn. But our sentiments to you are real.

Right now, you really do need to grasp something positive and know in the end everything will work out.
