History and Heritage - Uxbridge OntarioThe York Durham Heritage Railway Built in the late 1800's to transport grain and lumber it was known as the Toronto and Nippissing Railway (T&N).

Life Lease A growing housing option for seniors in Ontario is a unit in a life lease building. A few years back I had the opportunity to see first hand what a life lease was all about. I initially became involved with the process here in Uxbridge as a member of a group who were looking into alternative housing solutions for seniors in Uxbridge. I continued to work with members of the group who felt it could be done as a development rather than the more conventional way at the time (a church or organization sponsored project) which often takes years to get off the ground. Participating in this project was an exciting endeavor for me as I was very interested in options for Seniors who wanted an independent lifestyle but no longer wanted the work involved in the up keep of a home. The foll...

Using A Search Engine To Help You Choose A Realtor Who would you rather have working for you, one who sees you only as dollars and cents, or a Realtor who sees you as a client, one he or she will work for and with to maximize the dollars you receive for your home. In today's tech oriented world you need to know where and how your property will be advertised. Does the agent of your choice have a strong web presence with multiple web sites and blogs or do they rely on cookie cutter sites that everyone in the office uses and have little if any search engine relevance. Do they rely only on the national realtor.ca web site or is it just one of the web based tools they use. One of the best ways I know how to find out who has the best web presence is to Google some search terms to see who sits...

One of the many interesting sights you will come across while driving the highways and bi-ways of Uxbridge Ontario. This particular bridge is located in Leaskdale where LUCY MAUD MONTGOMERY lived for over 15 years while writing eleven of her twenty-two novels, including "Anne of the Island" (1915) and "Anne's House of Dreams".

You and "YOUR" Property Tax Bill - The 2010 draft budget goes before council today   Today is the day Council looks at the 2010 draft budget to be presented by the finance committee. It will be presented to council at their meeting this afternoon. Over the years Uxbridge has held a fairly tight reign on tax increases with several years in recent memory having zero mill rate increase and a stable assessment system. This resulted in Zero Tax Increases for local homeowners. What has changed is the leadership in Uxbridge, with staff retirements and changes to council the old guard influence is no longer felt. Couple that with the changes implemented by the Province in the assessment process and once again property taxes may soon be a major headache for those running for re-election in the n...
