The clear waters and cool forests of the Kawarthas offer<br />

visitors, cottagers, and year-round residents a place in<br />

which to replenish their spirits. This expansive region<br />

embraces many friendly and charming communities<br />

such as Buckhorn, Bobcaygeon, Coboconk, Lindsay,<br />

Fenelon Falls, Young’s Point, Lakefield, Peterborough,<br />

and all points between. The multitude of lakes and<br />

rivers offers cultural, natural, historic and recreational<br />

experiences for everyone to enjoy.<br />

After being closed for two years due to pandemic<br />

restrictions, the Warsaw Caves is open once again<br />

for spelunking in a series of seven caves, and boat<br />

While there, visitors can enjoy a paddle or a swim in<br />

the Indian River, or camp and hike through the forests.<br />

In Fenelon Falls, be sure to check out the Barn & Bunkie<br />

WARSAW CAVES CONSERVATION AREA AND BEAVERMEAD CAMPGROUND<br />

SPELUNKING AND BOAT RENTALS<br />

ARE BACK THIS SEASON<br />

After being closed for two years due to pandemic<br />

restrictions, the Warsaw Caves will open for<br />

spelunking this season and boat rentals will be<br />

available at Warsaw Caves Conservation Area (CA)<br />

and Beavermead Campground.<br />

Warsaw Caves CA takes its name from a series of<br />

seven caves found in the park. The caves were<br />

formed thousands of years ago at the end of the<br />

last ice age, when, a deep, swift, glacier-fed river<br />

shaped the landscape seen today.<br />

“We are excited to invite visitors back to Warsaw<br />

Caves; it is a popular spot for visitors to the are<br />

who are looking for a unique outdoor experience<br />

in nature,” explains Otonabee Conservation’s<br />

Manager of Conservation Lands, Jessie James,<br />

“Warsaw Caves offers an exciting opportunity to<br />

explore caves, kettles, limestone cliffs and ledges,<br />

underground channels, and other interesting<br />

natural features on the landscape.”<br />

Canoe and kayak rentals will also once again<br />

be available to visitors at Warsaw Caves CA and<br />

Beavermead Campground. At Warsaw Caves CA,<br />

paddlers can enjoy a trip along the Indian River<br />

with flat water, gentle current, beautiful scenery<br />

and wildlife. At Beavermead Campground,<br />

paddlers can access Meade Creek and paddle out<br />

into Little Lake and along the Otonabee River into<br />

downtown Peterborough.<br />

Canoe and kayak rentals include the use of<br />

paddles, personal floatation devices, and the<br />

required safety gear. Sanitation stations will be set<br />

up to disinfect equipment before and after use.<br />

Campers are encouraged to visit otonabeeconservation.com<br />

to plan their outdoor adventure in the<br />

Kawartha’s and learn more about the Conservation<br />

Areas within the Otonabee Region Watershed<br />

that provide a diverse range of outdoor activities<br />

for all ages.<br />

While Covid restrictions ease across the province,<br />

visitors to the caves this season will be encouraged<br />

to wear a mask in enclosed spaces and to act<br />

safely by distancing from others in close quarters<br />

and along the trail.<br />

PLACES TO GO AND THINGS TO DO IN THE KAWARTHAS<br />

LANG PIONEER VILLAGE MUSEUM<br />

STEP BACK IN TIME AND EXPERIENCE<br />

PETERBOROUGH COUNTY’S HISTORY COME TO LIFE<br />

This summer, take your travels in a new direction<br />

by travelling back in time! Modern amenities like<br />

electricity, gas-powered vehicles, cell phones,<br />

refrigerators, the Internet etc. are a standard part<br />

of twenty-first century living. However, there was<br />

a time in the not-so-distant past where these<br />

now-common items were considered luxuries or<br />

did not even exist. So how was food preserved<br />

and prepared? How did people communicate<br />

with distant relatives? How did kids entertain<br />

themselves? Discover all this and more at Lang<br />

Pioneer Village Museum where history is brought<br />

to life.<br />

Throughout the village, costumed interpreters will<br />

introduce you to the people, trades and events<br />

that have helped shape local history as you visit<br />

homes and businesses from 1800 to 1910. Discover<br />

the history and culture of the Michi Saagiig<br />

Anishnaabeg at Aabnaabin Camp, a partnership<br />

project with Curve Lake First Nation and Hiawatha<br />

First Nation. Watch as the Blacksmith shapes a<br />

hunk of metal into a horseshoe on the anvil and<br />

smell the sweet scent of cookies baking in the<br />

woodstove. Hear the school bell ring signaling<br />

the start of classes and watch as the giant cogs<br />

power up the grinder to produce flour at the Grist<br />

Mill. You will feel like a time traveler visiting the<br />

1800s! The Museum is open from 10 am to 4 pm<br />

Wednesday through Sunday from Father’s Day to<br />

Labour Day.<br />

Lang Pioneer Village Museum is also open<br />

seasonally for special events. Kicking off the<br />

Antique and classic car enthusiasts showcase<br />

their cars and motorcycles with the historic<br />

village as the backdrop during the 25th Annual<br />

Transportation Day Car & Motorcycle Show on<br />

Sunday, July 10. Discover 19th-century wedding<br />

traditions and practices with Tying the Knot: Early<br />

Wedding Traditions taking place Sunday, August<br />

14. Experience the village by the soft glow of<br />

lamps and lantern with Village by Lantern Light<br />

on Friday & Saturday, September 16 & 17.<br />

PETERBOROUGH POWER SQUADRON<br />

HAVE THE BEST BOATING<br />

SEASON EVER IN 2022<br />

by Joanne Culley<br />

“Whether you are a resident or just passing<br />

through the area, the Peterborough Power and<br />

Sail Squadron welcomes you to the Kawarthas,”<br />

says Susan Mellow, Public Relations Officer.<br />

“Now, more than ever, people are buying<br />

boats and taking to the waterways, resulting<br />

in increased boat traffic and a need for more<br />

boating safety education.”<br />

Mellow reminds boaters that they must have on<br />

board all mandatory safety equipment for their<br />

size of vessel, as listed in the on-line Transport<br />

Canada Safe Boating Guide. Everyone on board<br />

must have a Ministry of Transport Canada<br />

approved life jacket sized for each person.<br />

Wearing a life jacket is a simple precaution<br />

that saves lives. The squadron will be holding<br />

dockside recreational vessel courtesy checks<br />

to inventory safety equipment at no cost to the<br />

boater. The squadron will also host Flare Days<br />

to collect expired boat flares. Watch for dates on<br />

social media.<br />

In a time of economic restraint, boaters can use<br />

less fuel by adjusting their speed and acceleration<br />

and by keeping their hulls waxed and clean so<br />

that their boats glide smoothly through the<br />

water. Minimizing risk of vessel fire is another<br />

important issue. Boaters should be aware of safe<br />

refuelling practices such as running the blower,<br />

having passengers disembark, extinguishing<br />

open flames, not smoking or vaping, and turning<br />

off electrical equipment.<br />

The public is increasingly aware of the need to<br />

reduce their environmental footprint. Boaters<br />

can reduce speed, minimize their wake and<br />

avoid travelling too close to shore to protect fish<br />

habitat and prevent shoreline erosion. Using ecofriendly<br />

cleaners and reducing discharge of grey<br />

water into the lake protect water quality.<br />

Peterborough Power and Sail Squadron’s courses<br />

are now available online so that boaters have the<br />

flexibility to learn at their own pace, with the aid<br />

of an online tutor. The organization is part of a<br />

larger national organization, the Canadian Power<br />

and Sail Squadron, providing education for more<br />

than 80 years. To enrol in courses, go to cps-ecp.<br />

ca and check out the course calendar.<br />

For regional info, please visit www.<br />

peterboroughsafeboating.org or their social<br />

media sites (e.g. Facebook, Twitter). They wish<br />

everyone safe boating in the Kawarthas this<br />

summer!<br />

MILLTOWN MINI GOLF FAMILY FUN CENTRE<br />

A FUN AND ENJOYABLE TIME FOR ALL AGES<br />

by Joanne Culley<br />

For 37 years, Milltown Mini Golf Family Fun Centre<br />

has been offering a wide range of fun activities on<br />

two acres of landscaped park at 933 Lansdowne<br />

which to spend some safe, outdoor time, with all<br />

COVID-19 restrictions in place.<br />

enjoyment they also offer batting cages, water<br />

wars with water balloons, a paintball shooting<br />

gallery, gemstone panning, and treasure hunt<br />

paintball target range and see how many targets<br />

you can successfully knock down. Visitors can mix<br />

and match the activities, with one-two- and threepacks<br />

guidelines to ensure a safe experience for our<br />

visitors,” says Barry Cross, owner. “We clean after<br />

each use, we’re located outdoors with lots of fresh<br />

air flowing around, and there is lots of space in<br />

which to spread out and keep socially distanced.”<br />

All equipment, such as golf clubs, golf balls,<br />

batting cage helmets and bats, paintball guns and<br />

contact area, and all gemstone panning contact<br />

areas are sanitized after each use.<br />

“Our largest age group are those between 14 and<br />

24 years of age,” he continues. “And we’ve seen an<br />

increase in families during the last year looking<br />

for something fun to do with the kids, due to the<br />

restrictions on travelling.”<br />

Milltown welcomes birthday parties where visitors<br />

can bring their own food and cake or Milltown can<br />

PETERBOROUGH<br />

MUSEUM & ARCHIVES<br />

What does a satellite orbiting almost 800 kilometers<br />

from Earth have to do with the food on our plate?<br />

The Space to Spoon exhibition demonstrates<br />

how space technology benefits Canadian farmers<br />

and sustainable agriculture. It also highlights<br />

the Canadian Space Agency’s Earth observation<br />

satellite, RADARSAT-2, and its cutting-edge<br />

successor, RADARSAT Constellation.<br />

a concrete example of the potential of<br />

technological innovations to improve their daily<br />

lives. The contribution to these innovations to<br />

competitiveness in critical sectors of our economy,<br />

such as agriculture and sustainable development,<br />

is undeniable” states the Honourable Navdeep<br />

Bains, former Minister of Innovation, Science and<br />

Economic Development.<br />

Visitors of all ages can enjoy a stimulating<br />

experience with hands-on models, interactive<br />

elements, and stunning graphics.<br />

Jeremy Hansen – an astronaut with the Canadian<br />

Space Agency – encourages Canadians to come<br />

see the Space to Spoon exhibition, “As an astronaut<br />

who grew up on a farm in southern Ontario, this is<br />

a topic that really interests me,” he states. “Satellites<br />

like RADARSAT-2 have made Canada a world leader<br />

in Earth observation, which includes agricultural<br />

land. It’s hard to imagine that space technologies<br />

have an impact on what we eat, isn’t it? That’s<br />

what the Space to Spoon exhibit is all about. It was<br />

developed by the Canada Agriculture and Food<br />

Museum and the Canadian Space Agency. Visitors<br />

will learn how satellite data helps Canadian farmers<br />

monitor their crops and determine the condition<br />

of their land. Radar data allows farmers to better<br />

manage their resources, like water and fertilizer,<br />

and engage in agricultural practices that are<br />

sustainable and environmentally responsible.”<br />

“Canada is a world leader in satellite technology.<br />

This exhibition provides Canadians with<br />

RADARSAT-2 is one of the world’s most advanced<br />

commercially available Earth observation radar<br />

image providers and offers users around the world<br />

an expanded range of high-quality data products<br />

to hundreds of applications. It has traveled over<br />

2.5 billion kilometers since it’s launch in 2007. The<br />

RADARSAT Constellation Mission was the next<br />

development in this technology. With a threesatellite<br />

configuration, it can provide complete<br />

coverage of Canada, flying over the High Arctic up<br />

to four times a day, and providing access to 90% of<br />

the world’s surface area!<br />

To learn more about how the Canadian Space<br />

Program impacts the food we eat each day, visit<br />

exhibition. Head to our website, or give us a call at<br />

BIGLEY’S SHOES<br />

BIG CITY FASHION IN<br />

By Joanne Culley<br />

For over 110 years, Bigley Shoes and Clothing has<br />

been a shopping destination experience like no<br />

other in the heart of Kawartha cottage country,<br />

with ten stores under one roof. From casual to<br />

high-end fashion, Bigley’s is a one-stop shop<br />

for the whole family, according to Dolly Peel,<br />

marketing director.<br />

“We have such a unique atmosphere, with new<br />

arrivals coming in daily - you can have a fun time<br />

touring around the different buildings in the store,<br />

then going out for lunch in town,” says Peel. “We’re<br />

right on the Trent-Severn Waterway making it<br />

convenient for boaters to dock at the lock and<br />

come up to shop.”<br />

They carry beautiful spring and summer dresses and<br />

blouses from Rails and mini floral print dresses from<br />

Faithful the Brand. Perennial best-sellers are their<br />

LOCKSIDE TRADING<br />

FEATURING DESIGN BY LOCKSIDE<br />

Lockside Trading Company is more than just<br />

shopping… it’s your one stop shop year-round.<br />

A way of life since 1987, it’s the place where<br />

friends and family have been meeting for years.<br />

Kawarthas, and the Haliburton Highlands.<br />

Having three shopping locations to serve you;<br />

one in Young’s Point in the heart of the Kawarthas<br />

offering over 7,000 sq. feet of shopping, the<br />

second location downtown Haliburton with over<br />

5,000 sq. feet, or if you prefer to do your shopping<br />

from the comfort of your home or cottage,<br />

Lockside’s third location – our online store - is<br />

there for your convenience, helping serve you<br />

from anywhere.<br />

All offering you a one-of-a-kind shopping<br />

experience, with a mix of home décor helping<br />

create a living space to sit back, relax, and<br />

entertain in throughout the year. Selections are<br />

constantly changing throughout the seasons,<br />

offering a multitude of choices from indoor and<br />

outdoor furniture, lighting, giftware, bedding,<br />

and window treatments.<br />

As a multi-award-winning retailer Lockside sets<br />

itself apart with top-notch service from the<br />

beginning of your shopping experience to the end,<br />

from buying the right light, to helping you with<br />

turnkey projects. Offering a successful Interior<br />

Design Service covering everything for your<br />

home, cottage, and commercial space. Including<br />

in-store, on-site and virtual consultations,<br />

working with customers, giving guidance and<br />

making dreams reality. With qualified staff and<br />

quality products, Lockside caters to customers on<br />

any budget, in any location, with any look and<br />

that is worth hundreds of dollars for FREE!<br />

Lockside designers take pride in offering 90% of<br />

our in-house furniture as North American made<br />

at incredibly competitive pricing. Whereas most<br />

interior design services source out, and purchase<br />

items imported from overseas from international<br />

corporations like Wayfair, Home Sense, and Ikea.<br />

Plus, now with having high tariffs on imported<br />

furniture, we can finally put the spotlight on our<br />

Canadian Companies and local businesses.<br />

Supporting Locally & Buying Canadian Made<br />

Lockside is dedicated to supporting Canadians<br />

by offering Canadian Made products at great<br />

pricing and superior quality. Specializing in<br />

custom Canadian made furniture. Shopping<br />

locally and buying Canadian made has never<br />

been more important, especially during this<br />

time. By supporting your community, and fellow<br />

Canadians we make where we live stronger.<br />

Be prepared, act now for later.<br />

Lockside has planned ahead, having a wide<br />

selection of floor models on hand for you to<br />

choose from. But with the pandemic affecting<br />

worldwide production, wait times have increased<br />

in all manufacturing areas. Most people start<br />

shopping for furniture a few weeks before<br />

they intend on having it in their home. Given<br />

current production delays, it is recommended<br />

to start planning for these purchases even<br />

earlier. Lockside can help you with planning and<br />

ordering ahead, so you are more likely to receive<br />

your purchase by the time you need it.<br />

LIVING LOCAL MARKETPLACE<br />

EXPANDS ITS RETAIL SPACE<br />

MADE-IN-ONTARIO GOURMET GOODS THE FOCUS<br />

This article submitted by Living Local<br />

Your one-stop shop for Made-In-Ontario gifts and<br />

gourmet goods in Peterborough is expanding its<br />

menu this month.<br />

Just six months after Living Local Marketplace<br />

opened its doors at 1179 Chemong Road, it’s<br />

announcing an expansion based on what its<br />

customers want most.<br />

“Whether they’re building gift boxes or shopping<br />

for themselves, Living Local’s customers are most<br />

excited to try the gourmet goods we offer, be it<br />

honey, hot sauce, maple syrup or marinade,” says<br />

Alicia Doris, Founder.<br />

“The offerings are not only delicious, they’re<br />

made right here at home, and that means a lot<br />

to shoppers - especially right now. My customers<br />

are finding their favourites and coming back for<br />

more; and all the while, they’re supporting their<br />

neighbours.”<br />

Living Local Marketplace shares the work of<br />

artisans and small businesses from The Kawarthas<br />

and across the province. Both in-store and on-line,<br />

customers choose from more than 200 offerings<br />

to build gift boxes or simply shop for themselves.<br />

Along with gourmet goods, the store features<br />

artwork, bath and body products, jewelry, gifts<br />

for babies and children, and sustainable goods for<br />

the home. Living Local ships gift boxes from coast<br />

to coast to coast and also serves corporate clients.<br />

Current fine food offerings range from tea, coffee<br />

and cocktail fixings, to salsas, sauces and spices.<br />

The additional 200 square feet of retail space<br />

will feature the work of even more makers. It will<br />

also have some space for refrigerated foods, to<br />

include local cheeses and specialty products like<br />

eatable cookie dough from Guelph, cheesecake<br />

in a jar from Harrowsmith, and maple butter from<br />

Peterborough County.<br />

“We’re a destination for all things local, and first<br />

and foremost that resonates with people. When<br />

they realize how much is available from across the<br />

province and in a one-stop shop, they get very<br />

excited. Further, when I can share the stories about<br />

the people behind the products, it hits home,<br />

quite literally. They know they’re purchasing<br />

with purpose,” says Doris, adding she buys from<br />

more than 125 artisans and small businesses,<br />

and counting.<br />

KAWARTHA LAND TRUST<br />

CREATING A CONSERVATION LEGACY IN<br />

THE KAWARTHAS: FOR TODAY & FOREVER<br />

In the past two years, Kawartha Land Trust<br />

(KLT), a land conservation charity based in the<br />

Kawarthas, has secured 10 new properties,<br />

bringing the total number of properties under its<br />

protection and stewardship to 27.<br />

Properties acquired in 2020 and 2021 include the<br />

Christie Bentham Wetland, McWilliams Property,<br />

Keppler Nature Sanctuary, van Nostrand Property,<br />

Jones Woodlot, Nogies Creek Property, Balsam<br />

Lake Property, Ballyduff Trails, Morton Nature<br />

Sanctuary, and the remaining two parcels of land<br />

on Big (Boyd/Chiminis) Island (the majority of the<br />

island was donated to KLT in 2015).<br />

“We’ve had two years of remarkable conservation<br />

outcomes for Kawartha Land Trust,” said,<br />

John Kintare, KLT’s Executive Director. “The<br />

commitment of our supporters and donors has<br />

been fundamental in ensuring that more natural<br />

spaces in the Kawarthas will be protected for<br />

current and future generations.”<br />

Founded in 2001, KLT has 27 properties that<br />

protect more than 4,800 acres of ecologically<br />

diverse lands, some of which include hiking trails<br />

accessed by thousands of visitors who live in or<br />

visit the Kawarthas every year.<br />

plan and implement strategies to ensure the land<br />

entrusted to the organization is maintained and,<br />

where necessary, restored.<br />

In the past year alone, KLT staff and volunteers<br />

planted 1,600 White Pine trees at John<br />

Earle Chase Memorial Park and 1,000 mixed<br />

trees and shrubs, including Sugar Maples,<br />

Tamarack, and Ironwood, at Ballyduff Trails<br />

and the McKim-Garsonnin Property. They also<br />

organized a garbage clean-up day on Big (Boyd/<br />

Chiminis) Island and conducted species at risk<br />

monitoring, removed invasive plant species, and<br />

restored critical habitats at several properties.<br />

Preparations are already underway for additional<br />

tree planting at Ballyduff Trails and Dance Nature<br />

Sanctuary this year.<br />

“Land is the answer to many of the issues we face<br />

today, including biodiversity loss and climate<br />

change,” says Thomas Unrau, KLT’s Director of<br />

Community Conservation. “Our conservation<br />

efforts protect wetlands against development<br />

and provide critical habitat for species at risk<br />

like Blanding’s turtles. Our land management<br />

increases the carbon storage potential of our<br />

properties. Our work ensures that the Kawarthas<br />

sustains thriving ecosystems for years to come.”<br />

While land securement is an integral part of<br />

every land conservation organization, the<br />

work does not stop there. KLT’s dedicated land<br />

stewardship team works throughout the year to<br />

100 YEAR OLD TRADITION<br />

At Empire, our cheese is made in the<br />

traditional way in open-style vats. In our<br />

opinion, this gives the cheese and curd a<br />

better flavour. We use no additives to boost<br />

production, and there are no flavours added<br />

to our cheddar. It is all natural, with no added<br />

preservatives.<br />

After production, the cheese is naturally aged in<br />

cold storage, cut and vacuum packaged in our<br />

modern facilities to preserve the flavour. A true<br />

mix of tradition and modern technology to give<br />

our customers a better product!<br />

Empire Cheese Factory also offers a wide<br />

selection of gift baskets and boxes in a range of<br />

prices, which feature a selection of our famous<br />

cheese, with various quality biscuits, jams,<br />

honey, candy and maple syrup.<br />

Please ask us about fundraising opportunities.<br />

Empire Cheese is owned by local dairy farmers.<br />

VICTORIA STATION PHASE TWO!<br />

MAINTENANCE-FREE ADULT LIFESTYLE<br />

CONDOMINIUMS IN LINDSAY<br />

Victoria Station Condominium in the heart of<br />

historic downtown Lindsay will be a six storey<br />

condominium development on the Railway<br />

Lands. Architectural design and details will<br />

resemble the Union Station Condominium<br />

which was the first phase of the Railway Lands<br />

Development.<br />

This new structure will be built by the father<br />

and son team of Don and Mark Wilson. This two<br />

generation family has been building outstanding<br />

projects in Lindsay and surrounding area for over<br />

50 years. Don Wilson Construction Co. Ltd. and<br />

MVW Construction and Engineering are trusted<br />

names in the community. The exceptional<br />

quality of their work is evident in their many<br />

projects, including the beautiful Arbour Village<br />

community of homes and condominiums located<br />

on Green Arbour Way in Lindsay. An anticipated<br />

four-storey condominium will be coming to this<br />

community in the future.<br />

Victoria Station Condominium is meticulously<br />

planned, featuring ten different models of one<br />

and two-bedroom suites. An open concept with<br />

a glass balcony or ground-level terrace provides<br />

a sophisticated and functional design, and the<br />

freedom to choose from a selection of finishes<br />

allows the new homeowner opportunity to<br />

bring their taste and style to their new home.<br />

This new development will include underground<br />

parking, two large lobbies and guest suite on the<br />

main floor, and a party room and exercise room<br />

complete with balconies on the top floor.<br />

Close to Kawartha cottage country and the home<br />

to Lock 33 on the Trent-Severn Waterway, Victoria<br />

Station is adjacent to unique shops, theatres,<br />

dining, concerts at Victoria Park, and walking<br />

trails. This makes Victoria Station truly a location<br />

where you can live, work, and play!<br />

For more information, please call 705-328-9055.<br />

A sales representative will be happy to assist you;<br />

or you may visit the sales centre at 33 Victoria<br />

Avenue S. at the corner of Glenelg St. W. and<br />

Victoria Ave. S. You may also visit their website at<br />
