Mike Perry with Don MacIver, Principal Fenelon Falls Secondary School SCHOLARSHIP FOR HIGHER EDUCATION

With great pride and sense of honour, the past President and Co-Founder of the Community Foundation of Kawartha, Mike Perry has established the Doug & Mary Perry Higher Education Fund with the Community Foundation of Kawartha Lakes. In memory of his loving parents, Mike has launched this Fund intended to provide financial support and encouragement to graduates from the Fenelon Falls Secondary School, interested in a career in teaching.

Donated by the estate of Doug and Mary Perry, this newly established Fund will create a legacy for the Fenelon Falls Secondary, empowering deserving graduates to aim for post-secondary education, specifically in field of teaching and education. This generous legacy will grow and compound over many years, offering annual awards to many young and aspiring teachers and educators in Fenelon Falls.

Amanda Grills and Tegyn Thomas are the proud recipients of the first Doug & Mary Perry Higher Education Fund Scholarship awarded at this year’s Fenelon Falls Secondary School graduation.

School Principal, Donald MacIver is thrilled with the award, “The students and Staff at Fenelon Falls Secondary School are extremely honoured to be supported by the new Doug & Mary Perry Higher Education Award. This award will award graduating FFSS students each year, as they move forward in their post-secondary education. Our school community would like to pass on a big thank you to Mike Perry, a FFSS graduate and his family for this generosity and thoughtfulness!”

Doug and Mary Perry had strong beliefs in the power of public education to enable and inspire people and build communities. A graduate of Fenelon Falls Secondary School, Mary devoted her career to teaching, until she retired from Ridgewood Public School in Coboconk.

Growing up in Kinmount and a graduate of Fenelon Falls Secondary School in Class of 1955, Mary began her teaching career in a one-room school in Essonville near Gooderham. Returning to obtain her B.A. from Trent University later in life, Mary retired from teaching kindergarten at Ridgewood Public School in Coboconk. Working hard all their lives, Mary

BEACH PARK WILL RESUME CONSTRUCTION THIS SUMMER

After experiencing a pause due to COVID-19 and additional required studies, construction for the Bobcaygeon Beach Park Redevelopment is expected to resume August 2021. During the Stay at Home Order, staff continued tasks within social distancing protocols to keep the project moving. As a result, the park is on schedule to open by Summer 2022.

“Council is glad to hear shovels will be in the ground at Bobcaygeon Beach Park soon,” commented Andy Letham, Mayor of Kawartha Lakes. “The park has been highly anticipated and we’re pleased it’s still expected to open by next summer in spite of the delays. When it’s done, it will be a destination park not only for Bobcaygeon but for all of Kawartha Lakes, and we can’t wait to see it.”

“I appreciate the support, understanding and patience from all residents and businesses for this ongoing major project,” said Councillor Kathleen Seymour-Fagan – Ward 2.

Before breaking ground, the municipality is required to perform a variety of site inspections and studies. Staff have been in the process of these studies the last few months and they are almost complete. This includes: • An Under Water Archaeological Assessment that has been completed with no archaeological findings • A Terrestrial Archaeological Assessment of the property that is 50% complete, with no substantial archaeological findings so far

Further testing in line with Parks Canada is taking place throughout July

It is anticipated all tests and studies will be finished in the coming weeks, so construction may resume in August.

WILD WEATHER

After weeks without rain, Mother Nature seems to be working to even the score. We had some wild weather the last few days, including a possible tornado that touched down near Manilla, as well as a devastating tornado that hit Barrie.

The best advice when you think there might be bad weather heading your way is to pay attention to the alerts and, if nothing else, head to a safe place within your home away from windows and below ground if possible.

Stay safe!
