“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”  Norman MacEwanThere are many ways to give back and while some prefer the simplicity of a cash donation many charities need more than that. They need volunteers to keep their overhead down so that those cash donations can be put to better use than administrative costs.Perhaps you have time to volunteer or perhaps you can make a donation of some food to the local food Bank or better yet co-ordinate a group effort in support of a local charity. Here in Uxbrige we have many such groups, both formal and informal. Support Your Favourite CharityCharities in Durham Region On a more personal note I'm a proud supporter and member of 100 Women Who Care here in Uxbridge, I work with refugees through my connections as former boa... 12/12/2015

The horses will come galloping in as the soldiers round up the townspeople to pay their taxes...the children escape, playing tag as they run around the bonfires.As quiet descends on the set you may be able to hear the lambs baa, as the first cry of baby Jesus breaks the spell. The townspeople gather round to see this wondrous thing that has come to pass.The Living Nativity is presented in Uxbridge's Centennial Park  (located just behind the Town Offices)W... 12/12/2015
