COVER STORY<br />
Designs Bright<br />
Transitional Kitchen<br />
By Joanne Culley<br />
The original family room in Courtney and<br />
Taylor’s home was dated, with wood paneling,<br />
carpeting, a pool table, and no windows. A key<br />
consideration when renovating from top to bottom was<br />
creating a more spacious and bright floor plan that was<br />
functional for their family, which includes two children.<br />
The couple decided to transform the large family room<br />
into the kitchen of their dreams.<br />
“I wanted a place for us to gather for meals with not<br />
only our kids, but guests as well,” says Courtney. “I<br />
touched base with Beverly Wellington at Cabinetree<br />
early on in the process and she helped in planning the<br />
layout and designing the kitchen cabinets.”<br />
One of Courtney’s dreams was to have a large island,<br />
which is now the focal point of the room. At 10 ft. by<br />
3 ft., the island seats six as well as providing lots of<br />
storage space for a microwave and two large banks<br />
of drawers. The quartz countertops throughout are<br />
Silestone’s Eternal Calacatta Gold, which features<br />
subtle grey and golden brown veining - colours found<br />
elsewhere throughout the room. The Morning Dew<br />
island colour subtly contrasts with the Chantilly Lace<br />
perimeter cabinetry.<br />
The couple wanted extensive storage space to meet<br />
the needs of their busy family. Cabinetree’s custom<br />
cabinets showcase their best-selling transitional MDF<br />
door profile called Cosmopolitan. The cabinets are<br />
accented with champagne bronze handles that tie in<br />
with other warm bronze elements found throughout<br />
the main floor.<br />
To the right of the fridge are two-foot-deep cabinets<br />
with shelving to hold supplies such as toilet paper,<br />
paper towels, and sections for their mop and broom.<br />
On the left are pantries with drawers for the kids’<br />
snacks and cereal to make them easily accessible. Small<br />
appliances are stored within the cupboards above.<br />

“The cabinets and large drawers beside the back door<br />
hold BBQ supplies and other items we need in the<br />
backyard – it’s important to me to have things handy,”<br />
says Courtney.<br />
Finishing touches include a deep, double stainless steel<br />
sink, and a traditional champagne bronze widespread<br />
faucet with separate side sprayer. To the left of the sink<br />
is the garbage and recycling pull-out, a staple found<br />
in many new kitchen designs. On the left side of the<br />
stove is a pull-out accessory that houses their spices<br />
and oils, while trays and cookie sheets are neatly<br />
stored in the cabinet to the right.<br />
New windows were installed along the back wall to let<br />
in lots of natural light and allow the parents to watch<br />
their kids playing in the backyard. Glass globe lighting<br />
over the island contributes to the clear view.<br />
“Our new kitchen space is like night and day compared<br />
to what it was like before,” says Courtney. “It’s bright<br />
and airy with clean lines and abundant storage. I’d<br />
highly recommend Cabinetree for any project – they<br />
made the process easy from start to finish.”<br />
“This kitchen is truly beautiful and timeless. The<br />
combination of functional and classic details creates<br />
longevity, which means it will look and function<br />
amazingly for years to come,” says Beverly.<br />
The designers at Cabinetree take great pride in helping<br />
clients with the design of their new spaces.<br />
They work with clients to uncover exactly what is<br />
needed from the space to make it the best possible<br />
layout to fit their home and lifestyle. While the<br />
selections process may be relatively similar from client<br />
to client, there are always variables which make every<br />
project unique. They uncover these details to truly<br />
tailor each space to the individual. It’s only near the<br />
end, once a solid working layout is solidified, that they<br />
direct clients to consider the finishing touches, such as<br />
colour, hardware selection, and countertops.<br />
Prior to beginning work, Cabinetree takes detailed<br />
laser measurements, so they can design a layout and<br />
build cabinets to fit your space. With skilled designers<br />
on staff, they are able to create designs that appeal to<br />
everyone and fit any budget.<br />

DISCOVERY DREAM HOMES<br />
Creates Modern Log Home<br />
on Otonabee River<br />
By Joanne Culley<br />
Shain remembers hunting and fishing as a child on<br />
the property that his family has owned for many<br />
years on the Otonabee River north of Rice Lake.<br />
When he and his wife Debbie purchased the adjacent<br />
property about 20 years ago, they had dreams of one<br />
day building a new home there.<br />
“The property has lots of deciduous forest, with log<br />
homes on either side, one from the late 1800s and the<br />
other about 30 years old, so we wanted our new home<br />
to blend in with the environment,” says Debbie.<br />
When the couple met Jamie Henderson, Design<br />
Consultant with Discovery Dream Homes, at the<br />
National Home Show in Toronto and spoke to him<br />
about their vision, they knew they had found the right<br />
person and company to help them realize their dream.<br />
“We felt comfortable with Jamie’s approach and liked<br />
that Discovery was located nearby in Keene,” says<br />
Debbie.<br />
the modern Mountain View model, with tweaks such<br />
as spreading the house over a larger footprint and<br />
adjusting the position of the stair case, to have it going<br />
down instead of up.<br />
The exterior and trim of this unique four-bedroom log<br />
home is constructed from Eastern White Pine stained<br />
with natural tree oils with a roof covered in fibre glass<br />
shingles. From the road side, the home looks like it’s<br />
on one level, but as the property slopes down towards<br />
water, on the other side, you can see the two levels.<br />
Each floor has 1450 sq. ft. of living space for a total of<br />
2900 sq. ft.<br />
Jamie collaborated with the couple throughout the<br />
process. With all Discovery projects, the client can use<br />
Discovery certified builders, or can arrange for their<br />
own contractor. In this case, Debbie and Shain went<br />
with Discovery’s recommendation of Rob Moore of<br />
Rockwood Construction in nearby Warsaw.<br />
After Jamie showed them one of Discovery’s homes on<br />
Pigeon Lake, Debbie and Shain decided to customize<br />
The main floor features a high vaulted ceiling<br />
providing airy spaciousness. Large windows on both<br />

sides let in copious amounts of light with beautiful<br />
views of the river. Debbie and Shain love that they can<br />
walk in the front door and see through the windows to<br />
the outside. Naturally coloured curved timber accents<br />
in the ceiling and in the corner lap end cuts bring the<br />
outside in.<br />

Debbie and Shain are happy with the big, open space,<br />
where the kitchen, living and dining rooms flow into<br />
each other. They enjoy sitting on the couch to watch<br />
the sunset in the evenings.<br />
Interior design was completed in part by Abby Naylor,<br />
founder of Grace Interiors. Abby is a close family<br />
friend of Debbie and Shain, so helping them design<br />
their dream home was a project near to her heart from<br />
the beginning. Every design selection was intentional;<br />
from the choice of paint used on the kitchen island<br />
(Benjamin Moore, Feather Gray), to the earth-inspired<br />
brick selection for the fireplace surrounds. Abby’s goal<br />
was to create a space that blended the best of nature<br />
with modern functionality, all while honouring the<br />
family’s indigenous heritage.<br />
Facing the water with lots of natural light, the walk-out<br />
lower level has three bedrooms, a bathroom and a rec<br />
room.<br />
“One of the oak trees on our property was used to<br />
build the staircase,” says Shain. “It was nice to have<br />
some of the surrounding nature incorporated inside.”<br />
“I would highly recommend Discovery and Rockwood<br />
Construction any day – they inspire a high level of<br />
confidence,” says Debbie. “Our home is so bright, airy<br />
and comfortable all through the year. We can’t wait to<br />
get home to spend time there.”<br />
Discovery is known for its energy-efficient homes<br />
and this home is no exception. The home has a<br />
high-efficiency electric forced air furnace with air<br />
conditioning and in-floor radiant heating in the<br />
bathrooms. Blown-in blanket system (bibs) insulation<br />
was completed by Stevens Insulation in Millbrook,<br />
the company Debbie and Shain’s son Ryan works for,<br />
and spray foam insulation was installed in the ceiling,<br />
gables and basement walls to make for a well-sealed,<br />
air-tight four-season home. The logs themselves on the<br />
18 KAWARTHA COTTAGE JUNE 2023
main level are their own insulation using a calculation<br />
of thermal mass efficiency.<br />
When working with clients, Jamie Henderson, with the<br />
help of the Discovery team, aims to make the building<br />
process a pleasurable experience, and is always there<br />
to answer any questions they might have.<br />
For over 40 years, this innovative custom home design<br />

KAWARTHA DOWNS<br />
Your Destination<br />
for Entertainment<br />
Kawartha Downs is thrilled to announce their<br />
best lineup yet for their outdoor summer<br />
events calendar.<br />
“Last summer was our first event season postpandemic<br />
and as good as it was, this summer will be<br />
bigger and better,” says Summer Nickerson-Hagen,<br />
Marketing Director at Kawartha Downs. She explains<br />
how Kawartha Downs has grown to be a destination<br />
entertainment venue for the whole family, offering a<br />
wide range of concerts, motorized sport events, weekly<br />
harness racing and new this year, their Kawartha<br />
County Fair.<br />
Kawartha Downs had been a harness racing and motor<br />
sports track for decades, loved dearly by those loyal to<br />
both forms of sport. The last two years marked a shift<br />
towards an expanding destination for summer fun that<br />
now includes concerts, fireworks and a wide range of<br />
new entertainment.<br />
The Kawartha Smackdown Demolition will take place<br />
on June 17 followed by live music from 4 p.m. to 6<br />
p.m. and harness racing at 7 p.m.<br />
“All of our motorized events, including the Monster<br />
Madness Tour and the Kawartha Smackdown, are<br />
thrilling events that bring a lively crowd to see a wide<br />
range of powerful vehicles,” Nickerson-Hagen says.<br />
Last year’s fan favourite was the Kawartha Country<br />
Music Festival on Canada Day weekend.<br />
This year, Country Fest has expanded to two days and<br />
includes an all-Canadian lineup that rivals any other<br />
music festival in Ontario. The Bailieboro hometown<br />
hero, Jade Eagleson returns to the stage on Saturday,<br />
July 1 followed by headliner Dean Brody and ending<br />
with jaw-dropping fireworks. Sunday, July 2 opens with<br />
rising country music star Sacha followed by the James<br />
Barker Band and The Reklaws musical duo. Tickets are<br />
available now on their website or at TicketWeb.ca.<br />
New this year will be The Kawartha County Fair which<br />
will take place on August 4, 5 and 6 with events every<br />
day.<br />
“We’re still finalizing our line-up for the fair, but it<br />
will include a tractor pull, a demolition derby and<br />
a concert,” says Nickerson-Hagen. “Our emphasis is<br />
on having something for everyone and to give the<br />
surrounding community a weekend they can look<br />
forward to each year.”<br />

400-foot track is made from carefully curated layers of<br />
clay and a robust draining system.<br />
On July 22 and 23 and September 2 and 3 will be the<br />
fan favourite truck and tractor pulls featuring the best<br />
competitors in Canada. This event was so popular<br />
last year that it ran until the late hours of the night,<br />
prompting Kawartha Downs to expand to two 2-day<br />
events on different weekends.<br />
Last year harness racing at Kawartha Downs celebrated<br />
its 50th anniversary, which continues to grow as a<br />
weekly event running from May 20 to September 23.<br />
Everyone is welcome to join in on the action and place<br />
their bets throughout the evening.<br />
“If you haven’t checked out harnessing racing at<br />
Kawartha Downs, I highly recommend coming for an<br />
exciting evening this summer,” Nickerson-Hagen adds.<br />

racing page of their website.<br />

eat at their newly renovated Grandstand Dining Room<br />
overlooking the Kawartha Downs horse track. Open<br />
during dinner on harness racing dates, the restaurant<br />
has excellent views of the races from every seat in the<br />
house. Reservations are recommended for their buffet<br />
service dinner. Pre-event dinners are also offered at<br />
select events. All of their family-friendly events have<br />

BIGLEY SHOES<br />
A Fun Se<br />
the World<br />
By Joanne Culley<br />
Dolly Peel, marketing director at Bigley Shoes and<br />
Clothing, says that Bigley’s is fully ready for the<br />
wedding season and that she’s thrilled to hear of<br />
so many fun and exciting events taking place this season.<br />
“We’re so happy that we can help you look your best<br />
at your upcoming events with our great selection of<br />
wedding guest dresses in all styles and sizes to make you<br />
look wonderful this summer, whether it’s for a casual<br />
garden or dock-style wedding, or one taking place at a<br />
more formal venue,” says Dolly.<br />
Bigley’s carries dresses in a variety of lengths, from<br />
mini and midi, to longer maxi hems, depending on the<br />
formality required.<br />
For over 110 years, Bigley Shoes and Clothing has been<br />
a shopping destination experience like no other in the<br />
heart of Kawartha cottage country, with ten stores under<br />
one roof. From casual to high-end fashion, Bigley’s is a<br />
one-stop shop for the whole family.<br />
“Our range of mother-of-the-bride dresses makes your<br />
shopping easy, and the dresses can be paired with purses<br />
or clutches in different styles, along with bridal shoes,<br />
available in everything from glitzy to classic, in block,<br />
high or flat heels,” she continues.<br />
They carry the Simply Southern brand which offers crew<br />
necks, matching snap-back hats and cosmetic bags that<br />
Dolly says would be fun to wear at wedding-related<br />
events such as bachelorettes, rehearsals and bridesmaid<br />
gatherings.<br />
One big trend that Dolly has noticed this year is that<br />
bright colours are back, in hot pinks, bright emerald<br />
greens and stripes.<br />
“We have a huge selection of ladies’ wear in bright<br />
colours,” she says. “It’s definitely shaping up to be a fun<br />
season in the world of fashion.”<br />
Bigley’s carries a new brand of denim, Mother Denim,<br />
along with Levis, and DL1961.<br />

“Everyone likes their jeans to fit a little differently, some<br />
like them stiff, some stretchy, some flared – we have<br />
something for every taste,” she says.<br />

of shoes and sandals for the entire family. Birkenstock<br />
and Mephisto are two of their top-selling sandal brands<br />

colours with big buckles,” she says. “We’re bringing in<br />
exclusive styles not found everywhere.”<br />
Bigley’s selection of over 25,000 bathing suits in their<br />
Beach House includes one-piece, bikinis, tankinis, cupspecific<br />
swimwear, mix-and-match suits, cover-ups, and<br />

“Our team has been trained to find the perfect fit for<br />
you, to make bathing suit shopping effortless, fun and<br />
exciting,” she says. “Nothing makes the Bigley’s Beach<br />
House team happier than seeing our customers leave<br />
feeling confident and inspired.”<br />
Customers enjoy Bigley’s unique atmosphere, touring<br />
around the different buildings in the store, then topping<br />
off the day with an afternoon pick-me-up upstairs in the<br />

LAKESHORE DESIGNS<br />
...creates fun hangout space in bunkie<br />
By Joanne Culley<br />
Cheryl and Mark have recently taken over Mark’s<br />
family’s cottage on Buckhorn Lake that had<br />
been in the family for over 50 years. They<br />
were looking to make some updates to make it more<br />
accommodating for family gatherings. In particular,<br />
they wanted to refresh the bunkie/boathouse which<br />
had an unfinished upper loft area where they were<br />
hoping to add more living and sleeping space.<br />
“The bunkie/boathouse is about 18 years old and had<br />
an empty space on the second level, with a beautiful<br />
view of the lake and wrap-around decking,” says<br />
Mark. “We wanted to make better use of the space and<br />
thought it would be a great place for the kids to hang<br />
out and have sleepovers.”<br />
The couple had seen the work of Angela Jones, owner<br />
of Lakeshore Designs, on the Princess Margaret Dream<br />
Cottage she designed on Buckhorn Lake, and they<br />
were inspired to check out the projects on her website<br />
and on the Houzz app. They liked what they saw.<br />
kids and their friends. To that end, she designed three<br />
distinct areas – for sleeping, eating and games, and<br />
sitting.<br />
“To make the most efficient use of this space, we<br />
created a row of three custom single beds under<br />
the cathedral ceiling, with pullout trundle beds to<br />
accommodate six kids,” says Angela.<br />
Drawing on the boathouse below, Angela chose a<br />
nautical theme to create a cottagey, beachy vibe on a<br />
palette of blue and white with navy blue accents. Ship<br />
lap on the sloped ceiling, round nautical windows,<br />
seagrass, and a jute rug carry on the theme. More light<br />
comes in through the larger windows and a larger<br />
glass door that leads to a covered patio overlooking<br />
the lake.<br />
The snack and beverage bar boasts a sideboard with a<br />
fun, red retro fridge underneath, and a table to eat at<br />
or enjoy a game of cards.<br />
In Angela’s consultations with the family, she learned<br />
their vision was to create a gathering space for the<br />
The cozy couch and ottoman are a great spot to relax<br />
and read a book or talk to friends.<br />

PETERBOROUGH<br />
MUSEUM &<br />
ARCHIVES<br />
In April 2023, quilled birch bark makaks (baskets)<br />
made by women of Rice Lake Village (now, Hiawatha<br />
First Nation) arrived at the Peterborough Museum<br />
& Archives (PMA) for an extended loan visit from the<br />
Royal Collection Trust in England, where they have<br />
been cared for since they were given to the young<br />
Prince of Wales in 1860. The makaks are the focus of an<br />
exhibition titled, “To Honour and Respect: Gifts from the<br />
Michi Saagiig Women to the Prince of Wales, 1860”.<br />
This exhibition unpacks the meanings carried by the<br />
makaks: the cultural knowledge that went into their<br />
making and their presentation, the cross-cultural<br />
diplomacy and expectations of Nishnaabe gifting, and<br />
the love, respect and hope that went into these gifts.<br />
By 1860, the women of Hiawatha First Nation were<br />
known for their skills as quillworkers, having won<br />
prizes at the local county and provincial fairs. Early in<br />
the summer of 1860 – in anticipation of the Royal visit<br />
– the Superintendent of Canada West, Central District,<br />
W.R. Bartlett visited most of the bands within his district<br />
to rally support for the occasion and to inform each<br />
community on what to prepare. It’s likely that Bartlett<br />
asked the women at Rice Lake to create quilled birch<br />
bark gifts for the Prince of Wales.<br />
IMAGES ©ROYAL COLLECTION TRUST/HM KING CHARLES III 2023<br />
Interwoven Basket Heritage<br />
the Great Lakes region. The designs on the makaks<br />
displayed the women’s own Anishinaabek traditions.<br />
In all accounts of the Prince of Wales’ visit, women were<br />
absent from any official presentations. They were present<br />
as spectators, workers preparing luncheons and as dance<br />
partners at the public balls, but they were never at centre<br />
stage. Quite often, credit for Indigenous women’s work<br />
is unidentified in museum collections representing this<br />
period. It is therefore extraordinary to know the names<br />
of the women who created the quilled makaks as gifts<br />
for the royal visitor. We know this because the baskets<br />
were preserved with the names written on directly on<br />
them, on a piece of paper, or in some instances, quilled<br />
onto the birch bark. To learn more about them, we have<br />
used census records, village history, settler letters, and<br />
community consultation. We now know how old each<br />
woman was in 1860, allowing us to consider them as<br />
practicing artists with the benefit of life experiences, skills<br />
acquired over time and the recognition that they were<br />
passing on their knowledge to other women.<br />
“To Honour and Respect: Gifts from the Michi Saagiig<br />
Women to the Prince of Wales, 1860” will be on display<br />
through mid November 2023 at the Peterborough<br />
Museum & Archives.<br />
The baskets are decorated with both floral and<br />
geometric motifs, bringing together old and new<br />
designs, which reflects the changing experiences of the<br />
Mississaugas people of Rice Lake and more widely,<br />

OVERHEAD DOOR COMPANY<br />
Opens New 3,800 sq. ft.<br />
Peterborough Showroom<br />
For over 43 years, the Overhead Door Company<br />
of Peterborough has been providing customers<br />
with the largest product selection of garage and<br />
boathouse doors, security shutters, habitat screens,<br />
electric bug screens, storage and other door solutions<br />
in different styles, types, textures and colours, as well<br />
as offering door accessories.<br />
Because of the growth in their business, they’ve just<br />
opened a new, expanded 3,800 sq. ft. showroom at<br />
871 Webber Avenue in Peterborough.<br />
“We’re happy to continue to provide the most<br />
innovative and extensive products and services<br />
for your home, cottage or business,” says Ron<br />
Beausoleil, owner. “We now have more space for our<br />
administrative and sales staff, a dedicated service<br />
team, along with warehouse for storage and repair<br />
facility in the rear.”<br />
“New garage door openers and doors have many<br />
more features than in the past,” he continues. “Most<br />
of the latest operators are powered by a direct current<br />
motor that is next to completely silent, and offer<br />
variable speeds so they are capable of soft starts and<br />
stops reducing wear and tear on the door system.<br />
Further to that, security has been greatly enhanced.<br />
All units come with rolling code transmitters and<br />
keyless but the higher end units have built-in security<br />
cameras and are controllable from anywhere in the<br />
world from your smartphone. Gone are the days of<br />
leaving your home or cottage and wondering if you<br />
left the garage door open. It is also a handy tool for a<br />
vacation property if you have service people there to<br />
do repairs. All they have to do is call you and you can<br />
permit entry by your phone.”<br />
Another product that Overhead Door Company of<br />
Peterborough has adopted to its product line is Gate<br />
Automation.<br />
“Gate Automation is something that we have always<br />
been involved with more in our Commercial /<br />
Industrial division, securing factories and generally<br />
prohibited entry areas,” he says. “Residential security<br />
gate systems have been increasingly popular over the<br />
past five years and they offer all the same access and<br />
security systems as the garage door operators. It is<br />
just a natural fit for us.”<br />
Their highly-trained technicians can tackle garage or<br />
boathouse door problems of any size and complexity.<br />
From troubleshooting door handles to major repairs<br />
such as replacing broken panels, their team has the<br />
hands-on training to work on all doors. They can<br />
perform most repairs on-site. Their 24-hour repair<br />
service can handle any problems you may have, such<br />
as a door jam or break-in. Their new paperless system<br />
allows you to send a text or information through<br />
their website.<br />
They serve the Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland,<br />
Clarington, Lakeshore, Prince Edward County,<br />
Haliburton, Hastings, Durham and Peterborough<br />
County. For more information, please call<br />

require them.<br />

As summer approaches, everyone is anxious to<br />
return to on-the water activities on our beautiful<br />
lakes and rivers. For some, boating presents a new<br />
challenge. Our mandate is to build boater confidence<br />
by providing educational information that touches on<br />
navigation, weather, safety equipment, rules of the road<br />
and more.<br />
Operators are required by law to have a PCOC – a<br />
Pleasure Craft Operators Card. Getting your card is<br />
easy. Please go to https://boatlicencecanada.ca to sign<br />
up and take the course. And check out our current<br />
YouTube video https://youtube/kcs1htLwzvw<br />
Enrolling in our CPS-ECP Boating B2&B3 course is<br />
an excellent starting point. You will expand your<br />
boating knowledge as you learn navigation skills and<br />
boat handling techniques. Our course is taught by<br />
seasoned instructors with 60 years combined boating<br />
experience. You will engage in weekly, virtual reviews<br />
with instructors and other students and will benefit<br />
from a personal mentor as you tackle course material.<br />
Check out our course calendar in the late fall for 2024<br />
courses.<br />
If you have a VHF radio on board, you will need a<br />
restricted operator’s licence (ROCM). Peterborough<br />
is currently offering an online, self study course for<br />
Maritime Radio with DSC. It’s $125.00 and available<br />
24/7 (recommended completion time – up to 60 days).<br />

Every boat is required by law to have mandatory safety<br />
equipment, specific for their size of vessel, as listed<br />
in the Transport Canada Safe Boating Guide. It is also<br />
important the everyone on board have an approved life<br />
jacket (PFD) that’s appropriate for your age and size.<br />
Our organization supports the wearing of a jacket at all<br />
times while underway because, statistically, PFDs save<br />
lives. We also undertake Recreational Vessel Courtesy<br />
checks to ensure that you have all the required safety<br />
equipment. Being prepared can prevent hefty fines<br />
from the OPP for missing equipment.<br />

now. Come and be part of the new six storey<br />
condominium development on the Railway<br />
Lands. Architectural design and details will resemble<br />
the Union Station Condominium which was the first<br />
phase of the Railway Lands Development.<br />
This new structure will be built by the father and son<br />
team of Don and Mark Wilson. This two generation<br />
family has been building outstanding projects in<br />
Lindsay and surrounding area for over 50 years. Don<br />
Wilson Construction Co. Ltd. and MVW Construction<br />
and Engineering are trusted names in the community.<br />
The exceptional quality of their work is evident in<br />
their many projects, including the beautiful Arbour<br />
Village community of homes and condominiums<br />
located on Green Arbour Way in Lindsay. An<br />
anticipated four-storey condominium will be coming<br />
to this 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 a<br />
glass balcony or ground-level terrace provides a<br />
sophisticated and functional design, and the freedom<br />
to choose from a selection of finishes allows the<br />
new homeowner opportunity to bring their taste and<br />
style to their new home. This new development will<br />
include underground parking, two large lobbies and<br />
guest suite on the main floor, and a party room and<br />
exercise room complete with balconies on the top<br />
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, dining,<br />
concerts at Victoria Park, and walking trails. This<br />
makes Victoria Station truly a location where you can<br />
live, work, and play!<br />

CLAUDETTE on the KEYS<br />
A Novel<br />
Inspired by a true story, a female pianist follows<br />
fortune but instead finds fascism on the rise in this<br />
tale of intrigue in pre-war times.<br />
“Claudette is a wonderfully plucky heroine who<br />
is willing to risk it all to provide for her young<br />
family. Culley brings the musical world of Toronto,<br />
London and Berlin to life with an intriguing<br />
mixture of real-life and fictional characters.”<br />

Second World War Letters<br />
“The Second World War was a hate-filled time<br />
for many people but not for two Canadians<br />
whose love affair triumphed over violence,<br />
tragedy and separation.”<br />

and Governor General’s Award Winner<br />
