This first attempt at a cheap and popular Directory, it is hoped, will be received with every owance for partial inaccuracy. Every effort, that time and opportunity would permit, has been kde to produce a correct publication that would form some clue to the condition of the Section of inada embraced. The object being two-fold, viz : to serve the local Commerce and Trade of the ction —and next, to satisfy those at a distance and Emigrants in particular, that however this ction of the Country may hitherto h:ive been passed over in the general rush to the West, yet there no portion of the Province, which at this moment is in a more prosperous condition than that em- aced by the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, and Lanark and Renfrew. The latter em- aces the whole of the Upper Oltawa District, to which, of late, Emigration has been mainly rected. This work will go free by post to any part of the Province for a few cents above the pub- hed price, and for the small sum of 7^d. to any part of Great Britain. With all its imperfections ere is, as yet, no work which can give the intending Emigrant half so much information as a local irectory, specifying all the Trades carried on, and the Religious and Educational Provision made for Inhabitants. The success of this work mainly depends upon general circulation, independently of \\ support, and to this the attention of the public is urgently invited—in the hope that those who 'ly think it cheap at Is. 3d. may be induced to distribute copies amongst absent friends both in out of the Province—both at home and abroad.

Precaution.—Cattle kept on straw during the winter without grain or roots or even hay, cannot profit- ably regain their condition until late in the spring. A plentiful supply of roots is within every farmer's reach. Carrots, mangold, and turnips may all be safely used now, and will ensure a much earlier return from the dairy ; and early lambs will weigh one third more if ewes are well fed at this time.

    Update on COVID-19 Projections Science Advisory and Modelling Consensus Tables January 12, 2021 Key Findings • Growth in cases has accelerated and is over 7% on the worst days. • Almost 40% of long-term care homes have active COVID-19 outbreaks. Since January 1st 198 LTC residents and 2 LTC staff have died of COVID-19. Forecasts suggest more deaths in wave 2 in long- term care than in wave 1. • COVID-19 ICU occupancy is now over 400 beds. Surgeries are being cancelled and the access to care deficit will continue to increase with real consequences for health. • Mobility, and contacts between people have not decreased with the current restrictions. Survey data show that the majority of Ontarians are helping limit spread by following them. However, case numbers will not decline until more of the population follows their example. • A new variant of concern of SARS-CoV-2 (B117) could drive much higher case counts, ICU occupancy and mortality if community transmission occurs. The doubling time for cases could drop by more than 2/3. This new variant is now in Ontario. • Without significant reductions in contacts, the health system will be overwhelmed and mortality will exceed the first wave totals before a vaccine has time to take effect. 2 Total new cases per 100,000 residents per week across PHUs Sept 17 Sept 25 Oct 16 Nov 7 Nov 23 Dec 14 Dec 26 In-person Restrictions Modified COVID-19 RESPONSE Toronto and Peel York and Province-wide classes for on bars and Stage 2 FRAMEWORK enter 28-day Windsor- lockdown all major restaurants begins in Durham, Halton, Eastern lockdown Essex enter 14 days N.

  • 2010 Saw the Last Train on the Brockvile to Carleton Place Railway
    Clipping from an old Newspaper Article submitted by Leona Kidd Canada’s first great railway building decade came in the 1850’s construction of a railway to connect Smiths Falls, Perth, Carleton Place, Almonte and intervening points to the Grand Truck Railway at Brockville was begun in 1853 and completed in 1859. The Brockville and Ottawa Railway Company’s charter of 1853 authorized building of a line from Brockville “to some point on the Ottawa River”, and a branch line from Smiths Falls to Perth. By August the company was reported to have let a first contract to James Sykes and Company of Sheffield for building and equipping the line as far as Pembroke at a cost of £930,000, and to have received subscriptions for about a third of this amount, in shares of £5 each. The County Council of Lanark and Renfrew in January, 1854, was notified that its bylaw to loan up to £200,000 to the Brockville and Ottawa Railway Company had been approved by the provincial government. Sub-contractors were at work in the spring of 1854 at points between Carleton Place, Smiths Falls, Perth and Brockville. Reverses which delayed the project culminated in the North American financial crash of 1857, when Messrs. Dale and Ellerman and Sir Charles Fox soon appeared before Lanark and Renfrew’s County Council seeking renewed municipal financial aid. Further contracts for continuing construction finally were arranged before the end of the year. In a premature and unpromising official opening of the southern section of the line early in 1859, a wood-burning locomotive with two coaches filled with passengers had left Brockville on a bitterly cold midwinter day.

A Community in Bloom The City of Pembroke has been participating in the Communities in Bloom program since 1999 – and it has had a beautiful impact on the community! The colourful street banners, the half barrels overflowing with flowers, the pretty containers hanging on the bridges, and the flower baskets hanging in the downtown core are all due to the Communities in Bloom initiative. Countless vol- unteer hours have been spent engaging the residents of Pembroke, and helping them to pitch in, take pride and partici- pate in the beautification and environmental responsibility efforts. In 2001 the City earned four blooms in the provincial competition, and the right to call itself “the prettiest little city in Ontario”. In 2004-2005, Pembroke competed at the national level, helping to introduce Pembroke to the rest of Canada, and was awarded 5 Blooms!
