Message from the Mayor Whether this is your first time or you’re a seasoned user of our many wonderful facilities and programs, this Community Guide is a great resource to quickly find all of Haldimand County’s programs and activities, as well as useful information including general municipal information, business resources, community groups and upcoming events. Fall is the perfect season to get outside and enjoy our many off-road hiking trails and on-road cycling routes.

Take advantage of the additional bike racks in most towns so you can visit the many unique retail shops and restaurants. There are also two bike repair stations (York and Dunnville) for your use.

YOUR TAXES & OTHER

FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Haldimand County Council reviews and approves the County’s property tax supported operating budget every year. Council approved the 2017 Tax Supported Operating budget which resulted in a total levy requirement of $61,268,870. In June, Council approved the County’s 2017 Tax Policies and Tax Rates. These policies/rates are the final component or factor which affect a property’s annual taxes, including: assessment shifts, education tax rates, tax levy requirements and tax policy. Based on these approved factors, the estimated total property tax bill for 2017 is $3,129 for an average residential home assessed at $245,900. For your property, the applicable tax rate is applied to the assessed value of your home and this determines how much you pay. The value of your home is assessed based on its market value as at January 1, 2016.

EMERGENCY SERVICES Haldimand County Emergency Services wants you and your family to be safe. Your Fire & Paramedic Services have some safety reminders for you:

FARM FIRE SAFETY: Here are 10 simple steps that you can take to keep your farm safer from fire:

1

Do not allow smoking in or around barns or near any flammable farm materials.

2

Situate manure piles at least 10 m away from barns to reduce the chance of combustion.

3

Ensure hay and straw are properly dried before storing it in the barn.

4 5

Keep dust and cobwebs to a minimum. For horse barns, leave horses haltered and hang halters and leads on stall doors should evacuation be required.

6

Question and/or remove unknown, unlicensed and unauthorized persons from the premises.

7

Regularly check all appliances, wiring, electrical equipment and heat-producing materials and equipment to ensure everything is in safe, working order.

8

Repair/replace any frayed or damaged wiring as soon as it is identified.

9

Never refuel engines inside a building or while the engine is running or hot.

10

Extension cords should only be used temporarily and should be removed after use.

Snow Shoveling Safety Tips f Give yourself plenty of time to shovel and don’t rush yourself;

f

Use a couple layers of clothes to keep your muscles warm and flexible;

f

Do warm-up stretching of the arms, shoulders, legs, and back beforehand;

f

When you shovel, push the snow straight ahead and walk it to the snowbank. Don’t throw it;

f f

Avoid sudden twisting and turning motions;

f

Take regular rest breaks to alleviate the strain off your muscles.

Bend your knees to lift when shoveling. Let the muscles of your legs and arms do the work, not your back;

STAY SAFE FROM

CARBON MONOXIDE

Ensure all fuel-burning appliances in your home are inspected annually. Install and regularly test carbon monoxide alarms. Major risk factors: n Car left running in attached garage; n Portable generators;

WILL YOU BE PREPARED for an emergency?

n Corroded or disconnected water heater vent pipe; n Portable kerosene or gas heaters; n Cracked or loose furnace exchanger; n Improperly installed kitchen range or vent; n Operating a grill indoors or in garage; n Gas or wood-burning fireplace.

It can happen without much warning and can force you to evacuate or leave you without essential services. You will cope best if you’ve planned ahead. Haldimand County’s website has resources that can help. You can also review the information at Emergency Management Ontario.

COMMUNITY

PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM

Haldimand County values its relationships with community groups and appreciates the opportunity to partner with those groups to enhance or create new assets and facilities in our communities. The Community Partnership Program (CPP) helps community groups (or individuals in collaboration with a group) make those dreams—big or small—happen. The CPP is a clear, fair and consistent process for not-for profit groups to: n Create new or enhanced facilities for the benefit of residents, families and visitors;


Among the projects the County has approved since the program began in 2011: n Hagersville Park Splash Pad; n Jarvis Lions Trail/Pathway; n Dunnville Centennial Park Fountain Rehabilitation; n Caledonia Softball Diamond/Batting Cage Enhancement & Concession Building Replacement; n Cayuga Minor Ball Lights & Scoreboard Installation; n Skate Parks in Caledonia and Dunnville;

n Maximize resources; and,

n Fisherville Lions Multi-Purpose Outdoor Facility;

n Achieve common objectives.

n Port Maitland Historic Cairn; and,

Collaborative opportunities are identified and prioritized through the CPP—which provides a single entry-point for proposals—making the process of having your request assessed as easy as possible.

n Selkirk Centennial Community Centre Accessibility Enhancement.

The County’s CPP offers funding for Community Capital Projects and Community Beautification initiatives. Community Capital Projects are those initiatives which are new and/or intended to enhance or replace an existing asset on County land. Applications are accepted yearround, and proposed projects can be eligible for up to 35% in County funding towards the overall budget. All projects—whether or not they require County or other funding or are 100% funded by the applicant—must be assessed and approved through this process, before they can begin.

The County recognizes the importance of beautification to the vitality and sense of pride of communities and each year makes available $60,000 in grant funding to support these initiatives. Community Beautification grants help showcase our towns and villages, help attract and retain business and lead to potential new tourism and economic development opportunities. Applications are accepted each fall, and are available online.

CHILDREN’S PROGRAMS StoryTime

Paws to Read

StoryTime at the Haldimand County Public Library is a fun mix of reading, crafts, songs, and meeting new friends, and early literacy is one of the best ways to prepare your child for school. Each session costs only $10 and includes 10 weekly StoryTimes. StoryTimes are offered at all library branches. You can also register for individual StoryTimes at a cost of only $1.

The Haldimand County Public Library in partnership with Therapeutic Paws of Canada, is offering an exciting literacy program designed to help children who would benefit from extra practice with their reading. Free sessions will be offered weekly for a total of six weeks and one of three certified teams will be at the library to read with children on each date. Children read to the dog and are encouraged to pick books they think the dog would like to hear! Paws to Read dogs provide undivided attention to the children as the children read aloud. Studies have shown that reading to dogs encourages confidence and boosts self-esteem in children who struggle to read aloud in class, thereby boosting literacy skills. Visit the library’s website or your local branch for registration forms and upcoming course dates and locations.

EXPLORING HALDIMAND 19

John Brant Although he could not vote himself, Mohawk Chief John Brant, charismatic son of the legendary Joseph Brant was overwhelmingly elected by the people of Haldimand County as their first representative to the Parliament of Upper Canada in 1830. This made Brant the first indigenous person to sit in Upper Canada’s Parliament as a lawmaker.

RCAF In 1939, Canada, Great Britain, New Zealand and Australia signed an agreement creating the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. More than 130,000 crewmen and women were trained in Canada between 1939 and 1945. Haldimand County was home to three of these schools: RCAF #16 Hagersville, RCAF #6 Dunnville, No 1 Bombing and Gunnery School, Jarvis and a relief field at Kohler.

Helen Kinnear Helen Alice Kinnear was born in Cayuga in 1894. She graduated law school and was called to the bar in 1920, becoming one of Canada’s first female lawyers. In 1935, she became the first female lawyer in Canada to argue a case before the Supreme Court and in 1943, she was appointed court judge for Haldimand County, making her the first federally-appointed female judge in the entire commonwealth.

Haldimand Connections – Map App Wilson MacDonald Wilson Pugsley MacDonald was born in Cheapside, Ontario. He began publishing poetry in the Toronto Globe in 1899, while still a student. His first collection of poems, Song of the Prairie Land, appeared in 1916. He became even more famous by doing readings of his poetry. In 1920, his popularity as a presenter surpassed that of Pauline Johnson.

BUSINESS RESOURCES

PARTNERSHIPS IN BLOOM Dunnville Waterfront Park & Pavilion/ Farmers Market In 2016, Haldimand County Council approved plans for the Dunnville Waterfront Park & Pavilion/Farmers Market project. The new Farmers Market building, pavilion & park will transform Dunnville’s downtown waterfront and provide new opportunities for tourism, recreation and community events. The partnership project is moving forward, with funding assistance from the Dunnville Farmers Market Committee, Community Improvement Project grant and Ward 5 Community Vibrancy Fund.

Features of the Waterfront Park The Waterfront Park design is consistent with resident feedback to transition the former arena property into greenspace. It will provide a new focal & gathering point for the community, integrating the existing boat launch facilities and new market building/pavilion while providing pedestrian walkways to the downtown area. Key features of the 1.5 acre park include: n a defined entrance at the north part of the park, including amenities such as benches, lighting, signage and an entrance ‘gateway’ feature n a large, central, multi-purpose greenspace area to be used for recreation activities, festivals and events (including an audience area for performances) n new trees (in addition to existing, healthy trees that will be preserved) & landscaping

Features of the new Farmers Market Building/Pavilion n approximately 40% larger in size than the current structure (increasing to 5,000 square feet from 3,000 square feet)

n a hard surface pathway guiding pedestrians from Main Street through different sections of the park and areas along the Grand River. Pathway segments terminate with, or have along their route, key viewing areas that maximize visual access to the river n lighting features along pathways and throughout the park to encourage its use and to enhance safety n a weather-protected cenotaph & water feature

n a post and beam-type wood frame construction

n public washrooms

n roll-up commercial garage doors to enclose a portion of the structure for enhanced three season use (better protection from the elements but no heat provided)

Construction-related closures

n an enclosed foyer with washrooms to serve both the park and market n genuinely multi-functional design (allowing it not only to be used for market days, but also as a rental / public space for events, programming and private functions)

Timeline Construction of the new Dunnville Farmers Market/ Pavilion & Waterfront Park began in late summer 2017, with completion anticipated for late fall. Enquiries related to the Waterfront Park may be directed to Mike Evers, Manager, Planning & Development at 905-318-5932, ext. 6202 For further information regarding the Dunnville Farmers Market/Pavilion, please contact Lidy Romanuk, Manager, Economic Development & Tourism at 905-318-5932 ext. 6342

follow us

The Farmers Market will remain open throughout construction. The boat ramp will also remain open, however, there will be some short-term disruptions during the week throughout the construction period. A longer closure of the boat ramp will also be required towards the end of the project for final paving of the site. While work is underway, users of the Farmers Market and boat ramp are encouraged to park in the former Marina property on Maple Street. Updates will be posted on the County’s website, Facebook & Twitter pages as they become available. Stay tuned for more information on this exciting project!

These amenities are free and available for public use.

Nordic Pole Walking

Sit To Be Fit

Nordic pole walking is growing as an alternative to ordinary fitness walking. Nordic walking combines the simplicity and accessibility of walking with simultaneous core and upper body conditioning, which significantly enhances aerobic effects. The result is a full-body walking workout that expends significantly more calories when compared to regular walking.

This program is designed to promote health and fitness for seniors and those wishing to increase strength, balance, flexibility and endurance. Join us to improve your cardiovascular health, balance, weight and increase muscle strength!

Brain Fit & More Come join our program Brain Fit and More. It involves fun movements that prime the brain, mind exercises to stimulate the brain and lots of fun and laughter. This program is open for any level of co-ordination, ability, or brain power.
