The Fund was established in 1998 with the intention of offering scholarships to students progressing to post-secondary education and who will be pursuing Musical studies as their main focus. The fund was started when a few members of the local musical scene felt there was a need both to support young musicians and to provide some financial help. Candidates are required to be living or studying within the Township of Uxbridge boundaries and must be under the age of 25. Financial Support Continues to be generously given by local service clubs while local students and bands raise money by presenting concerts as well. Details of the Fund itself can be obtained by contacting Anthony Holt at (905) 852-5970 or Lesley Joosten (905) 852-3243.

Heritage Uxbridge
Heritage Uxbridge is a committee commissioned by the Uxbridge Council to act as an advocate for the preservation and conservation of heritage properties in the township. The committee is made up of dedicated volunteers who carry out a number of on-going responsibilities throughout the year, working with the community and the township members assisting with and advising in matters related to heritage and cultural aspects. In past years, the committee has developed and organized guided tours, and published articles and maps that help promote Uxbridges cultural heritage. further, the committee continues to maintain a close watch on the Pickering airport lands, and will endeavour to help protect any properties of historical value found within that area. It also produced a Heritage District Sign By-law to help promote a heritage look in the downtown district and continues to recognize individuals homes of heritage or cultural value through the Pride Plaque Program. last year, an award called the heritage Appreciation Award was established by the committee to recognize those individuals for taking the initiative and action to preserve our past. Three recipients, strawberry Threads, Rutledges Jewellers and the Tin Mill have received this award. This year we will continue to award local area Heritage farms. The Heritage Sign By-law Guidelines is used as a reference to determine award recipients, and the boundaries include the entire township. Information about how to receive this award along with ideas on improving building facades, windows and general landscapes in keeping with a heritage appearance, can be found in the Heritage Uxbridge sign Guidelines at the Townships office. 2011 will also see the committee involved with the Downtown revitalization, project and those plans and policies that will guide the township with its development of the downtown core. further, the committee continues to maintain a close watch on the Pickering airport lands, and will endeavour to help protect any properties of historical and cultural value found within that area. last year the community of leaskdale and the lucy Maud Montgomery foundation saw themselves proud, as its original Presbyterian church known mainly for its connection to lucy Maud, received a Provincial Heritage designation. If you would like more information about this committee or have any questions about Heritage Uxbridge heritage, please contact Pat Mikuse at prmikuse@sympatico.ca or Robin Coombs atrcoombs@powergate.ca

snow safety
Parents remind your children that it is dangerous to play or build forts in snow banks adjacent the roads. The snow plow operators may not see them. Children should never use streets and roads for sleeding or sled sown hills that enter onto a roadway or parking lot.
snow removal equipment use distinctive flashing blue lights to warn you that operations are underway. When these lights are on, slow down and stay well behind the plow to avoid flying snow and sand. Drive with you headlights on and avoid driving in the snowplows blind spots. If you must pass the plow, be sure there is enough visibility to avoid the snow coming from the plows blade.
