The Ganaraska River<br />
The majestic Ganaraska River offers some<br />
of the best trout and salmon fishing in the<br />
province and draws anglers from great<br />
distances to fish the “Ganny.” The spectacular<br />
trout run in the spring offers excellent<br />
steelhead trout fishing and in the fall salmon<br />
achieve sizes of 30 to 40 pounds!<br />
In the fall, between late August and early<br />
October, watch the chinook and silvery coho<br />
salmon migration! Mixed in with the fall run,<br />
you may also see migratory brown trout in their<br />
vibrant spawning colours.<br />
ZERO tolerance<br />
for illegal<br />
fishing<br />
Fish Ladder Park<br />
Corbett’s Dam (known locally as the Port Hope fish<br />
ladder) is the best place to view fish as they leap<br />
their way up the ladder to the spawning grounds in<br />
the north. This fish sanctuary has a no fishing rule.<br />
To find the fish ladder, follow these GPS coordinates:<br />
43o58’10.7”N78o17’44.5”W.<br />
New this year, Ministry of Natural Resources is<br />
installing a live fish camera! Watch for details on<br />
how you can view the fishway. A strategic priority<br />
of the Department of Parks, Recreation and Culture<br />
includes further trail development and the creation<br />
of a passive park area. In 2016 a parking lot was<br />
added and the start of a trail connection to the<br />
Ganaraska Hiking Trial.<br />
Check out<br />
our fish<br />
sanctuary<br />
Alex Carruthers Park<br />
Parks and Trail Upgrades<br />
As a Community Strategic Plan priority, the<br />
Department is establishing areas of focus for<br />
parks and trail upgrades, specifically around<br />
the Ganaraska River. Trail upgrades will<br />
include some paving, lighting and outdoor<br />
fitness equipment as part of the Canada 150<br />
Infrastructure Grant. Park upgrades include a<br />
new interactive park at Riverside Park (across<br />
from Ruth Clarke Activity Centre) which is<br />
funded through the New Horizons for Seniors<br />
grant.<br />

Port Hope trails<br />
Port Hope offers both rural and urban trails for walking, cycling, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.<br />
✓ New Upcoming program for 2017 Naming of Trails program! Watch for details and updates to trail signage<br />
and wayfinding along the Ganaraska River (Phase 1 of this project).<br />
✓ The Port Hope section of the Waterfront Trail connects Clarington to the west and Hamilton Township<br />
through Cobourg to the east. The urban section of the waterfront trail on the east side of the Ganaraska River<br />
with spectacular views of Lake Ontario features the dedicated handiwork of volunteers that made this trail<br />
possible including benches, bird feeders, a gazebo, boardwalk and viewing area. This section also tributes the<br />
community leaders who played a key role in the trails development – The Keith Richan Walkway, Peter Huffman<br />
Trail and the A.K. Sculthorpe Memorial Woodland Marsh. The Waterfront Trail is also a natural waystation for<br />
monarch butterflies and provides the resources necessary for monarchs to produce successive generations<br />
and sustain their migration. UPDATE: The Port Hope Waterfront Trail experienced extensive damage with<br />
record high water levels in Lake Ontario in 2017. Some sections of the trail remain closed. Repairs will<br />
be completed when water levels recede within the normal range. Residents and Visitors are asked to be<br />
diligent in obeying postings and notices.<br />
✓ The Ganaraska Trail Pine Ridge section starts at the cairn opposite the Town Hall in Rotary Park beside the<br />
Ganaraska River. With 65 kilometers of varied terrain, this section is easy and novices should have no difficulties.<br />
✓ Try the new Greenbelt Route that was created to make it easier for Ontarians to access the natural beauty of<br />
the Greenbelt. It connects dozens of rural communities, encouraging tourists to cycle to their destinations and<br />
support local economies. Visit their <strong>web</strong>site greenbelt.ca/route.<br />
✓ Geocaching GPS units are available for use at the Town Park Recreation Centre. You and your family can use<br />
one of the units locally or take it on a family vacation. Sign out procedures will be followed but this service is<br />
free! Call 905-885-7908 for more details.<br />

Caroline Street Rink<br />
The rink at Caroline Street has undergone a major update with<br />
funding support through the Government of Canada. New rink<br />
boards and glass have been installed at this rink, as well as<br />
updates to the surrounding park area. The rink is available for<br />
those wishing to play a variety of sports in a neighbourhood<br />
setting. A valued group of volunteers work hard in partnership<br />
with the parks department to maintain this rink as a natural ice<br />
surface in the winter (weather dependent). Ice conditions are<br />
reviewed and the park opening is posted when available. For<br />
more information about ice conditions during the winter, or to<br />
volunteer, please call 905-885-8760.<br />
GARBAGE IN PARKS<br />
Illegal dumping activities have been<br />
problematic throughout the Municipality–<br />
particularly in municipal parks and on trails.<br />
Staff has estimated that between 50 – 75%<br />
of the waste being collected is a result of<br />
residential waste being placed in or beside<br />
parks containers.<br />
In order to attempt to reduce the occurrences<br />
of these activities and to encourage<br />
responsible behaviours in our parks and trails,<br />
a number of strategies are in place. These<br />
action items include the following:<br />
✓ The removal of garbage containers has<br />
been completed on all trails and will be<br />
replaced with strategically located specialized<br />
dog waste containers.<br />
✓ A hotline for reporting illegal dumping<br />
where residents are encouraged to report any<br />
concerns. An incentive will be provided upon<br />
successful issuance of a ticket.<br />
✓ A public awareness campaign, developed<br />
in partnership with the Marketing Department,<br />
“Put Your Trash In Its Place”.<br />

The Municipality of Port<br />
Hope is raising awareness<br />
about irresponsible waste<br />
disposal. We’re reminding the<br />
community of the garbage<br />
and recycling guidelines that<br />
help to keep the Municipality beautiful. Do your<br />
part - help to keep our community clean!<br />

MONTREAL - A Cobourg teen who got her<br />
start at a local dance school recently graced<br />
the stage at Montreal’s Place des Arts in a duction of the Nutcracker.<br />
Emilie Anderson, 15, grew up in Cobourg,<br />
but is now in her second year in the professional<br />
dance program at L’École supérieure,<br />
a Montreal ballet school founded in 1952 by<br />
Ludmilla Chiriaeff. Chiriaeff also founded<br />
the dance company Les Grands Ballets Canadiens,<br />
which annually performs the Nutcracker,<br />
choreographed by Fernand Nault, at<br />
the Place des Arts on the Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier<br />
stage. The show was broadcast on CBC<br />
pro-<br />
French television on Jan. 6.<br />
After competitive auditions in September,<br />
Emilie took the role of a Russian doll for the<br />
second year in a row, she said in a telephone<br />
interview from Montreal. Being on stage at<br />
the Les Place des Arts, Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier<br />
stage, with its 2,996 seats, was “exciting”<br />
and a bit “nerve racking,” she said. The Nutcracker<br />
is a major holiday production for the<br />
dance company, with more than 100 dancers<br />
involved.<br />
“It’s really an amazing experience being<br />
Adrienne Surprenant photo/ hanslucas.com<br />
on stage with the company,” she said.<br />
MONTREAL -- Cobourg teen Emilie Anderson danced in the Nutcracker at Montreal’s<br />
Place des Arts recently.<br />
