DID YOU KNOW THE MUNICIPALITY HAS A CULTURAL PLAN?

The Municipality of Port Hope, undertook a process to create a Cultural Plan

in 2011. The Cultural Plan is a community plan that developed a definition of

culture, and identifies a series of strategic priorities.

Definition of Culture for the Municipality of Port Hope: Culture is a creative

expression of who we are and who we want to be. It recognizes our values,

customs and beliefs, heritage, built and natural environment, and our

intellectual and social achievements. Culture is all those things that make

our Municipality unique and vibrant – how people express life and live in

our community.

To review the Cultural Plan please go to

http://porthope.ca/parks-recreation-and-culture-master-plans

The Municipality values culture and continues to strive to further develop

culture initiatives. If you have any ideas or suggestions please contact the

PORT HOPE TRAILS

Port Hope offers both rural and urban trails for walking, cycling, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.

✓ New upcoming program for 2018 Naming of Trails program! Walk the trails and find the updates to trail

signage and wayfinding along the Ganaraska River (Phase 1 of this project).

✓ The Port Hope section of the Waterfront Trail connects Clarington to the west and Hamilton Township

through Cobourg to the east. The urban section of the waterfront trail on the east side of the Ganaraska River

with spectacular views of Lake Ontario features the dedicated handiwork of volunteers that made this trail

possible including benches, bird feeders, a gazebo, boardwalk and viewing area. This section also tributes the

community leaders who played a key role in the trails development – The Keith Richan Walkway, Peter Huffman

Trail and the A.K. Sculthorpe Memorial Woodland Marsh. The Waterfront Trail is also a natural waystation for

monarch butterflies and provides the resources necessary for monarchs to produce successive generations

and sustain their migration.

✓ The Ganaraska Trail Pine Ridge section starts at the cairn opposite the Town Hall in Rotary Park beside

the Ganaraska River. With 65 kilometers of varied terrain, this section is easy and novices should have no

difficulties.

✓ Try the new Greenbelt Route that was created to make it easier for Ontarians to access the natural beauty

of the Greenbelt. It connects dozens of rural communities, encouraging tourists to cycle to their destinations

and support local economies. Visit their website greenbelt.ca/route.

✓ Geocaching GPS units are available for use at the Town Park Recreation Centre. You and your family can use

one of the units locally or take it on a family vacation. Sign out procedures will be followed but this service is

Cavan Street Park- Outdoor Fitness Park

The new outdoor fitness park at Cavan Street Park has been

installed and is ready for you to use. This equipment, geared to

ages 13 yrs+, is available to those who are out on the trail, or

those that want to enjoy the benefits of physical activity in an

outdoor setting. Also, new this year is the oudoor fitness loop

which loops Cavan Street Park to Riverside Park with physical

activity stations. Get out, give it a try and be active!

GARBAGE IN PARKS

Illegal dumping activities have been

problematic throughout the Municipality–

particularly in municipal parks and on trails.

Staff has estimated that between 50 – 75%

of the waste being collected is a result of

residential waste being placed in or beside

parks containers.

The removal of garbage containers has been

completed on all trails and will be replaced

with strategically located specialized dog

waste containers.

REPORTING ILLEGAL DUMPING

prcgarbage@porthope.ca

Hotline: 905 885 8760

Put your trash in its place!

The Municipality of Port

Hope is raising awareness

about irresponsible waste

disposal. We’re reminding the

community of the garbage

and recycling guidelines that

help to keep the Municipality beautiful. Do your

part - help to keep our community clean!


DOGS OFF LEASH

In the Municipality of Port Hope, animals

must be leashed at all times. Please do your

part- keep your animal on a leash while in

public spaces and be sure to get a license

for your dog at Town Hall (56 Queen Street)
