A Message from the Mayor
W
elcome to the Spring & Summer 2016
Municipal Guide, prepared for you by the
Community Services Department.
This past winter has certainly been very different
from the cold and snowy winter of 2015, with the
milder temperatures helping to keep people out
and active in Saugeen Shores!
The Spring/Summer Leisure Fair in March is once
again looking to be a success due to the abundance
of activities available in Saugeen Shores. I am
always pleased to see the community groups grow
and offer new avenues of recreational activities for
kids and adults alike.
The spring and summer seasons of 2016 are
expected to bring new excitement to our local events, and festivals and provide numerous
ongoing opportunities to celebrate our beautiful community of Saugeen Shores. With
municipal events coming to the community like the Health and Wellness Fair in June and
the expanded Art on the Promenade art shows in July and August at the Port Elgin Main
Beach, there is sure to be something for everyone! And don’t forget about the Sunday
Night Bandshell Concerts, which are of course free evenings of entertainment for all to
enjoy, taking place each Sunday at 7pm at the
Fairy Lake Rotary Pavilion and the Emmett
McGrath Pavilion at the Port Elgin Waterfront.
Combine great recreational activities and
events with the beautiful landscape that is
Saugeen Shores and we are truly lucky to live
in this amazing community!
Mike Smith, Mayor

to a homeowner’s property deemed to be on the Municipal road allowance when performing daily
maintenance operations. This includes, but is not limited to, damages involving fencing, mailboxes,

Parks and Trails
Helliwell Park’s New
Parking Lot & Trees
This popular soccer field in Southampton
was given a facelift last summer thanks to a
partnership between the Town of Saugeen
Shores, Minor Soccer and Trees for Saugeen.
The project at Helliwell Park included
tree planting around the field and the
development of a new parking lot area.
Funds were donated by Saugeen Shores
Minor Soccer for the creation of the new
parking area, and Trees for Saugeen
donated funds and volunteers to purchase
and help with the tree planting around the
new parking lot area and perimeter of the
park.
Working with JD Everest at Everest
Nurseries, a plan was developed for the
tree planting and installation of a gravityfed dripline irrigation system to all the
newly planted trees. Everest Nurseries also donated the
equipment for the irrigation system and the mature
Linden Trees which border the park. Keith Snyder’s
Construction was contracted to build the parking area,
providing safer access to the park for both vehicles and
pedestrians.
We are looking forward to a great summer full of
activity in 2016 at Helliwell Park.

Sharing the Road
Cyclists
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Bikes and cars have the same rights,
rules and responsibilities on the
roadways.
Ride a bike in the same direction as
vehicle traffic - in the right hand lane.
Use caution when changing lanes.
Obey traffic signals and signs!
Use hand signals to communicate
intended actions with motor vehicles.
At night, a bike must have a visible
white light from the front and a red
reflector or light visible from the
rear. Reflective tape may be used for
added visibility. Wear light coloured
clothing.
Yield to pedestrians in crosswalks.
Give an audible warning (bell, horn,
voice) before passing pedestrians,
especially on a shared path. Never
park a bicycle on a sidewalk to
obstruct pedestrian traffic.
Wearing a helmet is mandatory
for children under 16, and highly
recommended for adults.
Motorists
•
•
•
•
•
•
Pass a cyclist only when safe. Allow
at least one metre between your car
and the cyclist, be sure there is no
oncoming traffic.
Bicyclists may take the centre
position in the lane when hazards,
road width or traffic speed cause a
change.
Yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk.
When opening the door of your
parked car, check behind for
approaching cyclists.
Watch for cyclists. Because of their
narrow profile you will need to
develop eye scanning patterns to
include cyclists.
Do not honk your horn when
approaching cyclists. You can startle
the cyclist and cause a crash.
New Biking
Corridor in
Saugeen Shores
As the Town of Saugeen
Shores moves forward with the creation of new biking corridors throughout the
community we are asking motorist, cyclists and pedestrians to be aware of each other,
and remember to “Share the Road”. The first bike corridors are planned to run from the
Intersection of River and Arlington over to Hilker Street, to Market Street straight down
to the harbour front and the North Shore Multi-Use Trail. This route will be marked by
“sharrows” painted on the road.

Parks and Trails
Utilizing, Trails & Parks Year Round
The Town of Saugeen Shores takes great pride in the naturally beautiful trail system. The community
support from volunteers, committees and residents for the trails continues to be exceptional.
The trails in Saugeen Shores are designed to be used all four seasons of the year. As the weather changes,
the trails maintain their beauty. Whether snowshoeing, jogging, biking or cross country skiing, residents
and visitors are encouraged to explore the backyard of the Town of Saugeen Shores.
Tips for the Trails
• Take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but thanks
• No motorized vehicles
• Respect private property
• Stick to the right of the trail
• Respect other trail users
• If stopped moved off to the side of the trail
• Allow others to pass on the left of you
• Keep pets on leash at all times and obey Poop & Scoop ByLaw
• Keep an eye on your children while using any of the trails
• Travel at a safe speed
*Let someone know before you go*

Why take a shower?
Centennial Pool staff are doing everything they can to
maintain a healthy environment for pool users. Taking a
shower will assist staff in maintaining good water & air
quality.
Did You Know:
• Showering is a requirement of Public Health
regulations.
• Regulation 565 states ‘Every bather shall take a
cleansing shower using soap and warm water before
entering the pool.’
• Centennial pool can have up to 200 users in the pool
per day and every user will bring a certain amount of
irritants in with them on their skin, such as urine, feces,
sweat and lotions. By taking a shower this greatly
reduces the amount of irritants entering the pool.
• Taking a shower is one of the Key Ways to a Healthy
Pool Environment, both for water and air quality.
• Chloramines are toxic gas compounds produced when the chlorine in water attaches to irritants in
the water. Taking a shower helps to reduce irritants in the pool and therefore reduces the chloramines
in the air. This assists in creating a healthy pool environment for swimmers and staff. Pool staff try
to reduce the chloramines in the air by having all swimmers take a shower before entering the pool.
• By taking a shower you will help Centennial Pool to effectively control air quality at the pool. Air and
water quality levels are dependent on each other.
All this just by taking a shower!
What else are we doing to ensure a safe and healthy environment for swimmers?
Centennial Pool has some of the best water around – We have trained and knowledgeable staff that are
continuously monitoring and correcting (when necessary) the chemical water balance. This will allow for
a good experience when you come swimming.
We are required by Health Regulation 565 to add fresh water every day. This assists with maintaining
clean water for you to swim in.
Health Regulation 565 also requires that the pool water must be treated with chlorine, a chlorine
compound or bromine compound. Centennial Pool uses chlorine.
Centennial Pool is also required to maintain a balanced ph level for swimming comfort and safety. Staff
test for these components and others every 2 hours. Your comfort is important to us and by taking a
shower you can assist us in ensuring others have a pleasurable experience as well.

New Construction or Addition
Property owners are reminded that there is often

occupy a residence that is newly constructed
or has had an addition and when the Municipal
Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) assesses
the new construction or addition. MPAC aims to
assess all new residential buildings and additions
within six months of occupation; however, if your
new home or addition is not assessed during the
year that it was completed and occupied, you will
still be responsible for the taxes from the date you
occupied the property.
The Assessment Act allows MPAC to assess any new
house or addition that has been omitted from the
assessment roll for the current and any part or all of
the two previous years. The Treasury Department
prepares these tax bills as soon as we receive the
Canada Post Epost Billing

Public Information Regarding the Emerald Ash Borer
Waste Diversion Programs
It has been verified that the Emerald Ash Borer is present in Bruce County and Saugeen Shores. The Emerald Ash Borer attacks and kills all species of ash, except mountain ash which is not a true ash. Emerald Ash Borer is very difficult to detect early. When infested trees are found, it’s often 1 year or
more after the attack occurred. In addition, there are several other factors affecting ash health in Ontario
which may disguise its presence. Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority

Cycle - Recycle (Bikes for the
World)
Ash trees of all sizes are susceptible to attack. Larvae have been found
in branches as small as 1.1 cm in diameter. If not effectively controlled,
the Emerald Ash Borer is expected to spread across the entire range of
ash, causing widespread tree mortality.
Emerald Ash Borer adults are metallic green, 8.5 to 13.5 mm long, and
slender. The head is flattened, with black compound eyes that cover
most of the side of the head. Short antennae extend from the face,
then curve back to just past the eyes. The upper side of the abdomen
is copper to purplish, and is visible when the wings are open.

CALL BEFORE YOU DIG
Are you putting in fence posts, planting a tree, excavating for a pool, deck or a new
addition? Before you dig, think about what services might be buried in the ground
because what you can’t see can hurt you.
Before You Dig
As a Contractor or Homeowner, you are responsible for obtaining locates for
all utilities/services prior to digging. These services include: natural gas pipes,
telephone lines, hydro or cablevision cables and water/sewer pipes. Ontario One
Call will confirm which utility company they provide locate services for. You are
responsible for directly contacting utility providers, who are not members of
Ontario One Call.
What is at Risk?
If you are digging by hand or excavating with machinery, you
risk damaging an underground network of services. Having
your utilities located before you dig is also the law under the
Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act.
Damaging underground services can have serious
consequences:
• Personal injury • Loss of essential services, creating a safety risk for others
• Expensive restoration costs and potential legal actions

Saugeen Shores Fire Department
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is known as
‘The Silent Killer’
“Because you can’t see it, taste it or smell it. The only way to detect the presence
of the deadly gas is to install a carbon monoxide alarm” says Rob Atkinson, Fire
Prevention Officer. On October 15, 2014, the Ontario Government formally enacted
a new law — The Hawkins-Gignac Act - making carbon monoxide alarms mandatory
in all Ontario homes at risk of CO.
Now, Fire Prevention Officer Atkinson wants to remind everyone that no matter the age of your home, if
you have any oil, propane or gas-burning appliances, furnace or water heater, a wood or gas fireplace, or
an attached garage or carport, you must have working carbon monoxide alarms installed near sleeping
areas. Ontario’s new CO Alarm Law brings a consistent level of protection to all Ontarians.
Carbon Monoxide Sources
Carbon monoxide can be emitted if fuel burning devices are improperly installed or poorly maintained.
Vents and flues must also be free of debris and not cracked or clogged. It can originate from gas, oil or
propane furnaces, water heaters, clothes dryers, gas ovens and wood burning or gas fireplaces.
CO Safety Tips to Protect Your Family
• It is law in Ontario to install carbon monoxide alarms outside sleeping areas.
• CO alarms are required by law to be replaced within the time frame indicated in the manufacturer’s
instructions and/or on the label on the unit. Some new CO alarms offer sealed lithium batteries that
last 10 years from activation.
• For optimal protection, install additional CO alarms on every floor of the home.
• Have a licenced technician inspect your fuel burning appliances annually, (e.g.
furnace, range, fireplace, and water heater) to ensure they are in proper working
order and vented correctly.
• For families with older parents or relatives, it is wise to help them inspect their
CO alarms.
• CO alarms don’t last forever. They need to be replaced every 7-10 years,
depending on the brand.
• If your alarm goes off get everyone out of the house, stay out and call 911!
Exposure to CO reduces your ability to think clearly, so never delay if your alarm
goes off and you sense a problem.
Symptoms of CO Exposure
Early symptoms of CO poisoning include headache, nausea and fatigue and are often mistaken for the
flu. Carbon monoxide is known to disorient its victims and is most dangerous when people are sleeping
and fail to wake up or realize they are at risk.
Prolonged exposure to carbon monoxide can lead to brain damage and death.
