DID YOU KNOW THE MUNICIPALITY HAS A CULTURAL PLAN?<br />

The Municipality of Port Hope, undertook a process to create a Cultural Plan<br />

in 2011. The Cultural Plan is a community plan that developed a definition of<br />

culture, and identifies a series of strategic priorities.<br />

Definition of Culture for the Municipality of Port Hope: Culture is a creative<br />

expression of who we are and who we want to be. It recognizes our values,<br />

customs and beliefs, heritage, built and natural environment, and our<br />

intellectual and social achievements. Culture is all those things that make<br />

our Municipality unique and vibrant – how people express life and live in<br />

our community.<br />

To review the Cultural Plan please go to<br />

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

The Municipality values culture and continues to strive to further develop<br />

culture initiatives. If you have any ideas or suggestions please contact the<br />

Recreation & Culture Coordinator at saldred@porthope.ca<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 <strong>2018</strong> Naming of Trails program! Walk the trails and find the updates to trail<br />

signage 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.<br />

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

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

difficulties.<br />

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

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

and support local economies. Visit their website 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 />

Cavan Street Park- Outdoor Fitness Park<br />

The new outdoor fitness park at Cavan Street Park has been<br />

installed and is ready for you to use. This equipment, geared to<br />

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

those that want to enjoy the benefits of physical activity in an<br />

outdoor setting. Also, new this year is the oudoor fitness loop<br />

which loops Cavan Street Park to Riverside Park with physical<br />

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

The removal of garbage containers has been<br />

completed on all trails and will be replaced<br />

with strategically located specialized dog<br />

waste containers.<br />
