The Regional Municipality of Durham, Economic Development and Tourism Department is hosting The Art of Transition symposium on Nov. 12, 2009.
A forum for creative minds, The Art of Transition will explore the uniqueness of Durham Region’s communities and brainstorm strategies to evolve our local economy. Through networking, dialogues and engagement, the symposium will inspire new ideas, partnerships and opportunities for transitioning Durham Region into a new, creative economy.
The symposium will bring together creative thinkers from diverse backgrounds: artists, business owners, entrepreneurs, inventors, agriculturalists, politicians and some of today’s finest thinkers.
The keynote speaker is Dr. Richard Florida, director of the Martin Prosperity Institute at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management, author of Who's Your City? and founder of Creative Class Group.
As Dr. Florida points out, attracting and retaining members of the “creative class” through the development of talent clusters can create significant economic advantages. With this in mind, The Art of Transition will explore Durham Region’s ability to retain and attract creative and talented people.
This is your invitation to become involved with an essential initiative in the transformation of Durham Region. This is your chance to connect, contribute, collaborate and create new prosperity in the region by capitalizing on our existing resources and technology, and our diverse and talented population.
The Art of Transition will be held on Nov. 12, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at the Ajax Convention Centre. Registration fee is $95 plus GST.

Hello all Stewards and Friends of Lake Scugog:
THIS IS A SPECIAL BULLETIN FROM THE LAKE STEWARDS
ABOUT OPPORTUNITIES FOR VOLUNTEERING
So many of you have spoken to us about doing some hands-on volunteer work to help improve the lake and its watershed. Well, what follows is the beginning of a mother-load of opportunities, some for now and some for later in the year. So, print this off, and then make some calls to commit yourself to action.
Stewards and Friends of Lake Scugog Volunteer Opportunties.pdf
The Scugog Lake Stewards are pleased to announce that they have received funding for
a one year pilot project aimed at assessing the value of introducing greater numbers of
Milfoil Weevils, E. Lecontei, into Lake Scugog. Milfoil Weevils will act as a biological
control for the invasive aquatic plant, Eurasian Watermilfoil which has reduced the
recreational potential and ecological health of Lake Scugog. The Baagwating
Community Association is providing funds through a generous grant and will be
partners with the Scugog Lake Stewards in this program.

Navigating a Tight Economy
8 Week MasterMind Group
In Port Perry – Above Brocks
Begins Friday, March 13 from 1-3 pm
Have you ever thought…?
• “I need help getting through this tight economy.”
• “Where do I start?”
• “I don’t need more time – I need more focus.”
If you’re ready to reach or exceed your goals and to allow your passion to overcome your fear of change then a Mastermind Group may be just what you’re looking for.
MasterMind participants act as catalysts for growth and operate as supportive colleagues. You’ll find energy, commitment, and excitement in a MasterMind Group.
What Will You Get From It?
How Does It Work?
In this particular group we will explore a specific theme – navigating this tight economy. There will be a coaching/teaching element as well as a ‘master mind’ portion. For those unfamiliar with Master Mind groups it is simply a way of tapping in to the experience and resources available within the group.
Expect accountability, diverse ideas, solutions, feedback, growth, change and cheer. At each meeting you will share best practices, and be held accountable for a SMART goal. Plus, you'll receive my coaching and unparalleled resource base. And, as a coach facilitator, I keep the group focused and on track.

Media Release - For Immediate Release
Kawartha Conservation awards first round of Scugog WATER Fund grants for 2008
Applications still being accepted for projects that help improve health of Lake Scugog and watershed
(Scugog, July 31, 2008) Kawartha Conservation, in partnership with the Township of Scugog and the Region of Durham, is pleased to announce that it has awarded over $8,500 through the Scugog WATER Fund in the first round of funding for 2008. This funding is supporting projects that have a total value of over $24,500.
All of the projects funded are within the area where the Kawartha watershed overlaps the Region of Durham. This includes sections of the Township of Scugog, the Township of Brock and the Municipality of Clarington (see map).
The Scugog Water And Terrain Environmental Restoration (WATER) Fund provides money for projects that help improve the health of Lake Scugog and its surrounding watershed. Eligible projects include erosion control, private septic system upgrades, clean water diversion, well decommissioning, well upgrades, manure storage and beneficial management practices.
Through the Lake Scugog Environmental Management Plan (LSEMP), Kawartha Conservation has determined that shoreline erosion, yard and agricultural runoff and septic system effluent are contributing large amounts of phosphorus and nitrogen into the lake and its tributaries. These two nutrients are mainly responsible for promoting weed growth and poor water quality in Lake Scugog. While these nutrients are found naturally in water, they are consistently above government water quality guidelines, often by two and three times in some areas.
Proposed projects must be within the Kawartha watershed in Durham Region, highlighted in light yellow on the map above.
Unsealed, abandoned wells and improperly sealed or maintained wells can also impact water quality. These provide a direct link between surface pollutants and groundwater that flows into other wells, lakes and tributaries. Common surface pollutants include yard and farm runoff, which may contain pesticides, fertilizers and animal wastes containing bacteria such as E. coli; and driveway runoff, which may contain automotive fluids.
While most eligible projects can receive funding of up to 50% of the costs, well decommissioning qualifies for up to 100%.
"Everyone wants to protect the health of the watershed and their well water, but not everyone has the resources for needed upgrades," says Kristie Virgoe, Kawartha Conservation Manager of Environmental Protection & Restoration. "Each project under the Scugog WATER fund really does make a difference, and I hope more people will take advantage of the available funds."
Kawartha Conservation accepts applications year round, and awards grants in July and October. For more information or an application, contact Sasha Lambrinos at 705.328.2271 ext. 224, or visit www.kawarthaconservation.com.

Kawartha Conservation is a watershed-based environmental organization leading the way to abundant clean water within a healthy landscape. It is one of 36 conservation authorities in Ontario providing natural resources management. The natural boundaries of the Kawartha watershed intersect the municipalities of the City of Kawartha Lakes; Scugog; Brock; Clarington; Galway-Cavendish & Harvey; and Cavan Monaghan. www.kawarthaconservation.com

Garbage cleaned up in East Cross Forest
(Durham Region, July 13, 2008) More than 80 people participated in the 2008 East Cross Forest Community Clean Up yesterday, collecting a massive amount of illegally dumped garbage.
Volunteers and Kawartha Conservation staff filled 3 40 cubic yard bins with everything from plastic bumpers and hubcaps to shingles and broken window frames. They also filled 3 drums with hazardous wastes such as motor oil, anti-freeze and paint, and pulled out 100 tires, 3 burnt out, rusted cars and 9,000 lbs of scrap metal.
This is the second year that Kawartha Conservation has held a community clean up event in East Cross Forest, located in the southeast corner of Scugog Township.
"We were overwhelmed and very pleased with the support of so many individuals, groups, local sponsors, and local councils again this year," said Kristie Virgoe, Kawartha Conservation's Manager of Environmental Protection and Restoration. "People are eager to help restore this magnificent piece of the Oak Ridges Moraine, and ensure its preservation for ecologically sustainable uses."
In addition to the garbage dumped on the property since the last clean up, Kawartha Conservation acquired an additional 282 acres that needed cleaning.
Current land holdings are now 832 acres, which will combine to form a new conservation area that is expected to open to the public in the spring of 2009.
Among the volunteers at this year's clean up were East Cross Forest neighbours, community members and members from the Cartwright Dyno's Snowmobile Club, Long Sault Ridge Riders Snowmobile Club, Port Perry Snowmobile Club, Durham 4x4 Club, and the Ontario Federation of Four Wheel Drive Recreationists.
Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce, Scugog Councillor Lynn Philip Hodgson and Clarington Councillor Ron Hooper also volunteered their time.
The Community Clean Up received funding from Durham Region, the Township of Scugog and the Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation, plus donations of water, food and supplies from Culligan (Peterborough), M & M Meat Shop (Port Perry and Lindsay), Kawartha Wholesale Bakery (Lindsay), and Tri Care Sanitation Supplies (Lindsay).
"It was a great day," said Virgoe. "With all of the garbage cleared, you can see how beautiful this place really is. Everyone's looking forward to when East Cross Forest Conservation Area is opened to the public next year."

Over 75 volunteers expected to participate in East Cross Forest Community Clean Up, July 12
(Durham Region) Kawartha Conservation is anticipating over 75 volunteers to participate in the 2008 East Cross Forest Community Clean Up on Saturday, July 12.
While most illegal dumping of construction and other materials has been prevented on properties cleaned up last year, some dumping has occurred this year. As well, Kawartha Conservation has acquired additional properties that are in need of clean up.
By cleaning up East Cross Forest, volunteers will be helping protect water quality, wildlife habitat, a significant piece of the Oak Ridges Moraine, and a unique natural area that will be available for public enjoyment for many years to come. Volunteers can still register by contacting Kristie Virgoe at (705) 328-2271 ext. 223 or kvirgoe@kawarthaconservation.com.
East Cross Forest is designated as a natural core area on the Oak Ridges Moraine because of its many ecologically significant features, including the headwaters of East Cross Creek that drain into Scugog River. The forest is scheduled to open to the public in the spring of 2009. For more information about East Cross Forest, visit www.kawarthaconservation.com.

Energy Conservation Week
"Of 300 communities participating in Earth Hour at the end of March, 150 were in Canada: 80 of those in Ontario. This says that our hearts and minds are pointing in the right direction when it comes to conservation. But now it's time to convert a one-hour international experience into a more durable commitment that serves the interest of Ontarians.
Energy Conservation Week provides a stepping stone to the next level. It enables us to focus on getting ready for our summer peak demand, reminds us of the specific targets that are upcoming in 2010 and 2025, and it keeps us on track for our true goal: A 'culture of conservation.'
Take Part. Take Action."
- Peter Love, Ontario's first Chief Energy Conservation Officer.

Dear Fellow Scugog Chamber of Commerce Members:
In support of the 10,0000 Canadian Children currently battling Cancer and their families,on June 2 of this year I will be embarking on one of the most challenging and most likely rewarding endeavors of my lifetime.
I will be cycling across this beautiful country with 49 other "Sears National Coast to Coast" Riders. We are beginning our Journey in Vancouver and will arrive in Halifax, Nova Scotia on June 20. All in all, 19 days covering 7600 Kilometers! As a National Soloist, I will be responsible to ride 4600 Kilometers of the Journey, approximately 250 Km per day. To put that distance into perspective, it would be the equivalent of cycling from Uxbridge to Kingston every day for 19 days.
I have been training very seriously for 20 to 25 hours a week to prepare for this ride, eating the right foods and keeping properly hydrated. When you add running my business and conducting fundraising activities, well you can imagine it leaves very little time for anything else!
The Coast-to-Coast Foundation was recently featured in the Toronto Star as one of the
number one charities because donations made directly by cheque or on-line to support
a rider go directly to the cause - that's right every penny of every dollar.
I also have a number of personal expenses associated with being on this ride as we have to pay a fee to participate in the ride, along with accessories for training, clothing, flights to Vancouver and home again from Halifax and if you can help with these costs, it would be fantastic. I will be covering some of these costs from my own business, Sierra Circuits Inc. but the total expenses will amount to $6000.00 to 7,000.00, which is more than my business can afford to spend, especially when you consider that I will be away from the office for almost a month! So I am seeking a sponsorship from a business or individual to help cover some of my own costs.
I will be at the up-coming breakfast meeting on March 27th, where I hope to meet a number of you and if you wish I can provide some more detail and answer any questions that you may have. I will also have literature on hand for those who would like more information on the ride.
Anything that you, as members of the Chamber, can do to help with this wonderful cause would be greatly appreciated. Cancer has touched my immediate family and my extended family and relatives in the past and continues to do so as I write this. I am sure that this is something we all have in common. And a child with Cancer.... that's a whole other thing to me.
Please see the attached links to my blog and the National Site for more information.
