Bobcaygeon Swing Bridge: Construction Update

Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site

October 21, 2022, Bobcaygeon, Ontario – Parks Canada advises that the Bobcaygeon Swing Bridge will remain closed through the end of the 2022 calendar year.

Mechanical components and hydraulic equipment manufactured for the bridge that were expected to arrive on site this fall have been delayed, moving back the completion date. Parks Canada continues to work with the contractor, stressing the importance of completing the project. We appreciate your patience while we undertake these important investments into the infrastructure in Bobcaygeon.

Work completed to date includes the disassembly and media blasting of the bridge steel structure, replacement and painting of the new steel structure, delivery and installation of various mechanical components, installation of the wooden decking on the pedestrian walkway, partial completion of the wooden decking on the vehicular travel path, trenching for new hydraulic and electrical lines and concrete removals on the bridge abutments.

The remaining tasks include completing concrete works on the bridge abutments, installing the remaining mechanical components, the vehicular bridge deck, hydraulic and electrical components, and paving.

Until the bridge reopens, the enhanced pedestrian access over the upper gates of Lock 32 and its access paths will remain in place.

Parks Canada is leading this important infrastructure work to ensure safe, high-quality experiences for visitors by improving heritage, visitor, waterway, and highway assets located within national historic sites, national parks, and national marine conservation areas, including along the Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site.

February 09, 2022, Bobcaygeon, Ontario – Parks Canada advises that the re-opening of the Bobcaygeon Swing Bridge has been delayed until Fall 2022.

Parks Canada was recently informed by the contractor that progress on the refabrication of the mechanical components for the Bridge has been slower than expected and has resulted in further delays to the rehabilitation project schedule.

Lock 32 is expected to be operational for the start of the 2022 Navigation Season and the enhanced pedestrian access over the upper lock gates and its access paths will continue to remain open until the bridge project has been completed.

Over the next few months, the electric and hydraulic work associated with the lock will be carried out and completed in time for the Navigation Season.

Design and refabrication of the mechanical components for the bridge continues offsite. The components are expected to arrive on location through the spring and summer 2022 at which time they will be installed. Once installation of the components has begun, the remainder of the bridge work will be able to continue with an expected completion in late summer/early fall and bridge reopening scheduled for fall 2022 once testing has been completed.

This work is not expected to impede boat navigation.

Parks Canada is working closely with the Contractor to bring the project to its completion. Further updates will be provided as new information becomes available.

The Bobcaygeon Swing Bridge project is part of the Government of Canada’s Federal Infrastructure Investment program. Parks Canada is leading this important infrastructure work to ensure safe, high-quality experiences for visitors by improving heritage, visitor, waterway, and highway assets located within national historic sites, national parks, and national marine conservation areas, including along the Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site. We appreciate your patience while we undertake these important investments into the infrastructure in Bobcaygeon.

Globus Theatre Holds Auditions for Annual Panto, Mother Goose! 
 

Bobcaygeon, October 26, 2021 - Globus Theatre is excited to be bringing back their annual Panto! The theatre is holding auditions on November 2^nd and November 3rd and is calling for all talented (or purely enthusiastic!) young performers who would like to join the production of… 

Mother Goose: A Traditional British Panto 

  

Globus Theatre is looking for kids of all ages, so whether you know the perfect mischievous young performer or you fancy yourself as the goose, come and be a part of this magical experience! This is an opportunity for kids aged 6 and up to work alongside professional actors in a busy production and learn each step of taking the page to the stage. No experience is necessary!

"In re-introducing our annual Panto this year we're by no means saying that Covid is "behind us" (oh yes it is!, oh no it isn't! Etc.) ...but rather we want a way to bring the community together; give opportunities for kids to get on stage and allow families to get back to enjoying some festive traditions. The production will not be on such a vast scale as previous years, but it will be funny, high-energy and a great night out for the whole family!" Artistic Director, Sarah Quick.

Anybody of any age wishing to work backstage, paint scenery, build sets, find props, sew costumes, do make-up or take the stage will be most welcome! 

Those auditioning for performance roles are asked to prepare a two-minute monologue and be prepared to read from the script. Our School of Dramatic Arts students will be given priority when auditioning but all that sign up and give it a go will be considered for parts! 

Please email sarah@globustheatre.com or call 705-738-2037 to book a time. 

Kawartha Lakes – This August, Kawartha Lakes is conducting the inaugural Kawartha Lakes Business Count Survey in the downtowns and industrial areas across the municipality. This survey will help the municipality better understand and strengthen the local economy, as well as inform policies and programs.

“We’re excited to kick-off our first ever Business Count Survey in Kawartha Lakes,” said Rebecca Mustard, Manager of Economic Development. “We’re keen to hear from the businesses and would like to encourage them to take part. Their input is valuable and will help shape the future of our economy and community.”

In its inaugural year, the Business Count survey will be available online for all businesses in Kawartha Lakes to participate. This project is led by the City of Kawartha Lakes in partnership with the Bobcaygeon & Area Chamber of Commerce, Coboconk, Norland & Area Chamber of Commerce, Fenelon Falls & District Chamber of Commerce and the Lindsay & District Chamber of Commerce. A Summer Student team will be reaching out to businesses in several Kawartha Lakes downtowns and industrial areas. The survey is voluntary and collects information including the types of businesses, employment and floor space. A summary report will be published in Fall 2021.

The information collected through the Kawartha Lakes Business Count will:

• Provide a snapshot of the Kawartha Lakes economy
• Provide improved regional employment and workforce data
• Assist in making informed decisions related to job and economic growth
• Enhance communication channels between businesses and the municipality

The success of this important survey depends on the assistance and cooperation of the business community. For more details on the program and how to take part, please visit kawarthalakes.ca/businesscount.

The loveable Brit and audience favourite is back! Globus Theatre is excited to be continuing their 18^th summer season with one of Globus' all-time most popular shows, the memorable Shirley Valentine by Willy Russell, staring Artistic Director Sarah Quick. 42 year-old, working-class Liverpudlianhousewife Shirley is so bored with her life that she finds herself regularly talking to the wall. She dreams of drinking a glass of wine "in a country where the grape is grown" and, when she eventually embarks on her adventure and packs her bags for a fortnight in Greece…what she finds is a whole lot more!  

For those of you who remember the movie, or are fans of the theatrical version of Shirley Valentine which has been performed around the world, you won’t want to miss this show! As we come out of one of the world’s most difficult times, this comic tour-de-force will take the audience on an uplifting, poignant and ultimately heartwarming journey from the council houses of Liverpool to the sun-kissed beaches of Greece…with lots of wine along the way! This is a must see for anyone who has recently started talking to the wall!  

"Shirley Valentine was first performed on the Globus Theatre stage in 2013, and we were so excited to see so many audience members traveling from across the province to see the show! Earlier this year we did a survey as to what our audiences would like to see as we start to re-connect and lots of patrons voted this show as one of their most treasured moments at Globus Theatre. The consensus was that Sarah was the quintessential Shirley...it's a beautiful piece of theatre" James Barrett, Director.

 

There is still time to get your tickets! 

August 11 to 28 @ 6:00pm – Dinner and Show Tickets $77 

August 17 @ 8PM and August 19 @ 2PM – Show Tickets $39.50

Tickets can now be booked by calling the box office: 705-738-2037 
 

TORONTO — With key public health and health care indicators continuing to improve and the provincewide vaccination rate surpassing the targets outlined in the province’s Roadmap to Reopen, in consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health the Ontario government is moving the province into Step Three of the Roadmap to Reopen at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, July 16, 2021.

“Thanks to the tireless efforts of our frontline heroes, and the ongoing commitment of Ontarians to get vaccinated, we have surpassed the targets we set in order to enter Step Three of our Roadmap,” said Premier Doug Ford. “While this is welcome news for everyone who wants a return to normal, we will not slow down our efforts to fully vaccinate everyone who wants to be and put this pandemic behind us once and for all.”

In order to enter Step Three of the Roadmap, Ontario needed to have vaccinated 70 to 80 per cent of individuals 18 years of age or older with one dose and 25 per cent with two doses for at least two weeks, ensuring a stronger level of protection against COVID-19. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of Ontario’s health care partners, as of July 8, 2021, over 77 per cent of the population in Ontario ages 12 and over have received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and over 50 per cent have received their second dose. More than 16.6 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered provincewide.

The province also needed to see continued improvement in other key public health and health care indicators, including hospitalizations, ICU occupancy and the weekly cases incidence rates. After entering Step Two, during the period of June 29 to July 5, 2021, the provincial case rate decreased by 23.3 per cent. As of July 8, the number of patients with COVID-19 in ICUs is 202, including three patients from Manitoba, as compared to 286 two weeks ago. The province expects these positive trends to continue over the coming days before entering Step Three.

“Ontario has continued to see improvements in key health indicators, allowing the province to move to Step Three of the Roadmap and safely resume more of the activities we’ve missed,” said Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “While this is exciting news, we most still remain vigilant and continue to follow the public health measure we know work and keep us safe. Vaccines remain our ticket out of the pandemic so if you haven’t booked your appointment yet, please do so today.”

Step Three of the Roadmap focuses on the resumption of additional indoor services with larger numbers of people and restrictions in place. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Outdoor social gatherings and organized public events with up to 100 people with limited exceptions;
• Indoor social gatherings and organized public events with up to 25 people;
• Indoor religious services, rites or ceremonies, including wedding services and funeral services permitted with physical distancing;
• Indoor dining permitted with no limits on the number of patrons per table with physical distancing and other restrictions still in effect;
• Indoor sports and recreational fitness facilities to open subject to a maximum 50 per cent capacity of the indoor space. Capacity for indoor spectators is 50 per cent of the usual seating capacity or 1,000 people, whichever is less. Capacity for outdoor spectators is 75 per cent of the usual seating capacity or 15,000 people, whichever is less;
• Indoor meeting and event spaces permitted to operate with physical distancing and other restrictions still in effect and capacity limited to not exceed 50 per cent capacity or 1,000 people, (whichever is less);
• Essential and non-essential retail with with capacity limited to the number of people that can maintain a physical distance of two metres;
• Personal care services, including services requiring the removal of a face covering, with capacity limited to the number of people that can maintain a physical distance of two metres;
• Museums, galleries, historic sites, aquariums, zoos, landmarks, botanical gardens, science centres, casinos/bingo halls, amusement parks, fairs and rural exhibitions, festivals, with capacity limited to not exceed 50 per cent capacity indoors and 75 per cent capacity outdoors;
• Concert venues, cinemas, and theatres permitted to operate at:
• up to 50 per cent capacity indoors or a maximum limit of 1,000 people for seated events (whichever is less)
  
• up to 75 per cent capacity outdoors or a maximum limit of 5,000 people for unseated events (whichever is less); and up to 75 per cent capacity outdoors or a maximum of 15,000 people for events with fixed seating (whichever is less).
  
• Real estate open houses with capacity limited to the number of people that can maintain a physical distance of two metres; and
• Indoor food or drink establishments where dance facilities are provided, including nightclubs and restobars, permitted up to 25 per cent capacity or up to a maximum limit of 250 people (whichever is less).

Face coverings in indoor public settings and physical distancing requirements remain in place throughout Step Three. This is in alignment with the advice on personal public health measures issued by the Public Health Agency of Canada, while also accounting for Ontario specific information and requirements. Face coverings will also be required in some outdoor public settings as well.

Please view the regulation for the full list of public health and workplace safety measures that need to be followed.

“Thanks to the continued efforts of Ontarians adhering to public health measures and advice, as well as going out to get vaccinated, we have seen most key health indicators continue to improve,” said Dr. Kieran Moore, Chief Medical Officer of Health. “However, the pandemic is not over and we must all remain vigilant and continue following the measures and advice in place, as the Delta variant continues to pose a threat to public health.”

The province will remain in Step Three of the Roadmap for at least 21 days and until 80 per cent of the eligible population aged 12 and over has received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and 75 per cent have received their second, with no public health unit having less than 70 per cent of their eligible population aged 12 and over fully vaccinated. Other key public health and health care indicators must also continue to remain stable. Upon meeting these thresholds, the vast majority of public health and workplace safety measures, including capacity limits for indoor and outdoor settings and limits for social gatherings, will be lifted. Only a small number of measures will remain in place, including the requirement for passive screening, such as posting a sign, and businesses requiring a safety plan.

Ontario’s epidemiological situation is distinct from other jurisdictions and the Delta variant is the dominant strain in Ontario, which is not the case with some other provinces. As a result, on the advice of the Chief Medical Officer of Health, face coverings will also continue to be required for indoor public settings. The Chief Medical Officer of Health will continue to evaluate this need on an ongoing basis.

QUICK FACTS

• On June 30, 2021, the province moved into Step Two of the Roadmap to Reopen, based on the provincewide vaccination rate and continued improvements in key public health and health system indicators.
• The Ontario government has released the Roadmap to Reopen, a three-step plan to reopen the province and ease public health measures based on the provincewide vaccination rate and improvements in key public health and health care indicators.
• With a majority of Ontario adults having received their first dose of the vaccine, providing a strong level of protection from COVID-19, the province is accelerating eligibility to book a second dose appointment, including for children and youth aged 12 to 17.

Bobcaygeon, June 25 - With Stage 2 of the Provincial Re-Opening comes an exciting new option for audiences looking for their fix of summer theatre.

On July 8^th and 9th, the stage will showcase the world premiere of Broken Glass, a modern reimaging of the Tennesse William’s classic: The Glass Menagerie. This play reading features live musical accompaniment and contemporary dance alongside a story of despair, resilience, and hope!

Audiences can escape the heat for a night of friendly competition during Globus Theatre’s Trivia Night on July 10^th or join in on the laughs provided by some of Canada’s greatest improvisers during the Improv Comedy All Stars! on July 18^th. If concerts are more your vibe, Globus Theatre has you covered there too!
