OVER THE BACK FENCE
This Sunday, I will have the honour of speaking at the Bobcaygeon Terry Fox Run. In preparing my remarks, I came across some statistics that I would like to share about the legacy that this Canadian hero, Terry Fox, has inspired. In 2025, more than $51 million dollars was raised for the Terry Fox Foundation and 859 researchers and 269 research projects were supported. Since Terry’s Marathon of Hope 46 years ago, more than $1 billion has been raised! I think this speaks to the connection that Terry Fox made with Canadians and the legacy he left behind. With all the negativity around the world today, the Terry Fox Runs across our country on Sunday will unite us. Even if we don’t participate, it’s a time to reflect on positivity, strength and courage that Canadians bring together to show the world what we’re made
of. This past week, on September 11, there was much angst south of the border on their political front. Our country’s political forces continue to be bashed by the American President. Rather than retaliate, we stand strong and celebrated our support of America and Americans in Gander. We opened our doors and hearts to those who were in need. That’s what Canadians do. We tend to forget our positive impact on the world. From Terry Fox, Rick Hansen and his Man in Motion tour, and other everyday heroes, we have much to be proud of. On Canada Day, we celebrate our country. We proudly wear the red and white and wave our flags. But I think it’s even more important to do that every day. Sure, we have our political differences, but at the end of the day, we are united. Canada is more than just a country. It is a way of life. We are kind, we are strong, and we are resilient. Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will never hurt us. Elbows up! editor@thepromoter.ca

City Hall UPDATE ON WELLNESS CENTRE
Submitted by Paul Reed
Chairperson, Coboconk Norland and Area Chamber of Commerce An update is long overdue but in the midst of many issues and critical decision schedules, it has been hard to lift one’s attention from the matters at hand. My apologies for not sharing news earlier. I know it has been said before, but I do believe that it is fair to say that we are approaching the finish line. Admittedly, as I write this I am feeling particularly optimistic and, if I were superstitious, I would be knocking wood continuously, but here goes. This project became much more than “Let’s reuse the train station to be the doctor’s office” and contains a medical wing for a health team of doctors, nurse practitioners, a dental clinic and blood lab. It will be populated by a variety of additional health practitioners and of course house a pharmacy. On the lower level, there is space for the Food Bank, a commercial community kitchen, meeting rooms and community space, and the building is equipped to provide shelter during extreme weather or other need. The City-Chamber partnership has been effective in bringing this health and community centre to the north. This is a municipal building and will be operated by the Chamber to serve our communities. An example of the City’s commitment: when it became apparent in the Spring that the Ministry of Health funding remained uncommitted and that awaiting HST returns would delay the building, the City provided an advance for both to allow construction to continue. As the Chamber representative to the project, I visit the site regularly. Each time I see the progress. Today Arc Electric was connecting heaters, Young’s were completing some landscaping , RYKLO were finishing up some drywalling and installing door frames. Dakota Contracting has painted the train station exterior and is installing the wood ceiling inside. As materials arrive, the tile, ceilings, flooring and doors are being installed. Finishing touches to the exterior are being completed and paving is scheduled for the end of the month. Cabinet and furnishings for the tenants are underway or in storage and ready for installation. Oh, there are still some challenges to overcome, and systems to be tested, but the day is coming when the doors will be open and we will be able to welcome you to see for yourself what has been built on the hill.
FOUNDATION AWARDS FOR 2026
Submitted by Carissa Ferguson-Paterson
Kawartha Community Foundation has awarded $67,500 to 14 community projects through the 2026 Social Sustainability Fund. With this year’s funding, the fund has now invested more than $100,000 in

local programs addressing critical social needs across Kawartha Lakes. Seeded by the City of Kawartha Lakes and administered by Kawartha Community Foundation, the Social Sustainability Fund supports initiatives focused on poverty and housing, food security, mental health and belonging, and equity, inclusion and diversity. Since its launch, the fund has supported 23 community projects—from emergency food and housing supports to youth mental health, mentorship, newcomer inclusion and community connection. This growing investment reflects a shared commitment to building a Kawartha Lakes where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. “The Social Sustainability Fund is demonstrating what can be accomplished when local government, community organizations and residents work together,” said Carissa Ferguson, Operations & Engagement Manager at Kawartha Community Foundation. “Surpassing $100,000 in community investment is an important milestone, but the true impact can be seen in the people gaining access to food, supportive relationships, inclusive programs and opportunities to feel connected to their community.” The following projects received funding through the 2026 Social Sustainability Fund: • Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes — $10,000: Safe Together Kawartha, a pilot program providing temporary emergency care for pets when individuals and families are experiencing crisis or housing instability. • John Howard Society of the Kawarthas — $10,000: Rural Youth Connections Initiative, bringing mental health, mentoring, recreation and life-skills programming directly to youth in underserved rural communities. • The Grove Theatre — $8,852.19: Arts Connection – After School Program, an inclusive theatre program helping children and youth build confidence, creativity, social skills and belonging. • Kawartha Lakes Food Source — $8,000: Feeding Our Communities Through Improved Access to Information, creating an accessible online resource with current information about local food banks and available food supports. • Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kawartha Lakes — $7,000: Girls Supporting Girls, connecting high school students with girls in Grades 4–6 for mentorship focused on confidence, resilience, leadership and healthy relationships. • United Way for the City of Kawartha Lakes — $6,213.87: Food Security Farm Outdoor Classroom Upgrade, creating a covered outdoor classroom and workspace to support food education, community programming, volunteers and farm operations. • Fenelon Falls Salvation Army — $4,600: Hub and Grub, a weekly community meal program providing free, nutritious meals while addressing food insecurity and social isolation.

Together, these investments demonstrate the strength of local organizations and their ability to develop practical, community-informed responses to emerging needs. Kawartha Community Foundation thanks the City of Kawartha Lakes, the volunteer review committee and every organization that contributed its time, knowledge and ideas to the 2026 funding process. Kawartha Community Foundation connects people who care with causes that matter. Through community leadership, partnerships and philanthropy, the Foundation supports local organizations and initiatives working to build a stronger, more inclusive and resilient Kawartha Lakes.
WALMART IS COMING TO LINDSAY
Walmart Canada has announced plans to open a new Supercentre in Lindsay, marking a major milestone in the community’s continued growth. The approximately 142,000-square-foot store will anchor the new SmartCentres development in the northwest corner of Lindsay, at Highway 35 and Sylvester Drive.

and SmartCentres, all working together to move this project across the finish line. It’s something our whole community can celebrate.” The new store is expected to offer a full grocery selection, general merchandise, pharmacy, Vision Centre, and in-store pickup and delivery. Walmart Canada’s announcement follows years of growth planning and infrastructure investment in Lindsay. The City has worked with the development community to support new housing and prepare municipal services for a growing population. New neighbourhoods, including those developed by Tribute Communities, and Kingsmen Group Inc. have welcomed more residents to Lindsay and increased demand for local shopping and services. Together, this growth has helped lay the foundation for new commercial investment. The Walmart and SmartCentres development will also create local jobs and give residents more shopping options closer to home. “We’re incredibly excited to finally bring a Walmart Supercentre to Lindsay,” said Paula Bonner, Vice President of Format Development for Walmart Canada. “We know people in the community have been asking for a Walmart, and we’ve heard them. We can’t wait to open our doors and give customers more choice, greater convenience and access to our everyday low prices, including on fresh groceries.”

A MILDER FALL IN STORE
When they say that the only true prognostication about our weather is to look out the window, this year’s Fall forecast depends on who you read! According to the Weather Network, the forecast for October into November is for warmer than average temperatures and below-normal precipitation. But if you check out the Farmers’ Almanac, while they agree with the Weather Network on temperature, their experts say there’s a good chance of more rain than usual. They also say we’re going to start to feel a fall chill in the air in October as the average temperature continues to drop as we approach winter. I guess we have a chance of an extended summer and day trips to check out the beautiful Fall colours!

A WOMAN’S LOVE LIST
Submitted by Rebecca Anne Bloom
From September 30 to October 10, Globus Theatre in Bobcaygeon presents A Woman’s Love List, a hilarious new comedy by Canada’s beloved playwright Norm Foster. When Megan and Carly set out to create a list describing their Perfect Man, they’re stunned when their ideal person appears before them. But as their fantasy becomes reality, the women discover that finding love isn’t about finding someone perfect—it’s about being willing to love someone, quirks, flaws, and all. “A Woman’s Love List is a new play of mine. However, it is not entirely new,” Foster explains. “A few years ago I wrote a play called The Love List which was about two men who accidentally conjure up what they think is the perfect woman. Then a friend of mine suggested that I write a play in which two women conjure up their idea of the perfect man, and A Woman’s Love List was born.” Globus has been proudly championing the production of new and Canadian theatre in the Kawartha lakes over their 23 seasons since 2004 and Foster’s plays have always featured. In fact, this is the 23rd Norm Foster play that Globus is producing. Foster says, “It’s kismet. I have always had a good relationship with Globus and with the wonderful couple, Sarah and James, who are at the helm. And I thank them for their years of support and for their contribution to the arts.” Tickets are $50 per person for theatre-only and $100 for theatre and dinner.

young people who live here. The Loft provides youth with a welcoming space to connect, build positive relationships, develop new skills, and take part in programs and experiences that support their growth.” Operated by BGC Kawarthas (formerly Boys & Girls Clubs of Kawartha Lakes), The Loft is open Tuesday to Thursday from 2:30 to 6 p.m. The centre offers a variety of programs and activities designed to meet the interests and needs of local youth. Programming includes arts, cooking and kitchen skills, mental health and wellness, queer youth and inclusion programs, music, and leadership opportunities. More programs and services are planned to launch as the school year continues. Programming updates and announcements will be made on their BGC Kawarthas social media. The Loft is also introducing the BGC Kawarthas Youth Advisory Council, providing young people with an opportunity to take an active role in shaping youth services and making their voices heard. Youth Advisory Council members will have opportunities to help guide programming, volunteer in the community, contribute their perspectives to local initiatives, and develop leadership skills that can benefit them well beyond their time at The Loft. The Loft first opened in February 2025 in the basement of the Fenelon Falls United Church, operating twice a week as the first dedicated youth centre in Fenelon Falls. Following strong community demand and growing participation, BGC Kawarthas was able to move the program to 30 Colborne Street in October 2025. Support for the program has been secured from the City of Kawartha Lakes and many Fenelon Falls individuals and businesses. BGC Kawarthas CEO Amy Terrill previously described the new location as “a dedicated and more accessible space.” The 2026–27 school year marks the first full school year The Loft will operate from its Colborne Street location. The building also serves the broader Fenelon Falls community during the daytime. Before school ends, the space is shared with EarlyON, which provides programs, resources, and support for children from newborn to six years of age and their families. CMHA Haliburton, Kawartha Pine Ridge also utilizes the space. The shared use of the building allows it to serve children, youth, and families at different stages of the day, creating a community space that supports local families from early childhood to adults.

DINNER AND A SHOW
There are still tickets left for the Fall Dinner Theatre at the Buckhorn Community Centre for the last two weekends of October. In addition to a delicious three-course meal, you’ll get to see the Hall’s Bridge Players present “Where You Are” by Kristen Da Silva. It’s a touchingly funny story of family, love lost and found, secrets, and the lives of uniquely lovable characters. The fast-moving play is peppered with witty one-liners and many laugh out loud moments.
Bobcaygeon Music Council will host another Dockside Session on Thursday, October 15. It’s an evening of music with singer-songwriters who will share their stories and their songs. This time, you’ll hear Jesse Byers, Carl Dixon, Makinna Givens and Jeffery Straker. homeflavour to the • Jesse Byers brings a little Southern of the and classic Kawarthas with his blend of country home

As a senior PHPM resident, Dr. Tran completed rotations at multiple local public health units -- including Halton Region, Peel Public Health, Toronto Public Health, and York Region Public Health -- as well as provincially with Public Health Ontario and the Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health. “We are incredibly excited to welcome Dr. Tran to Lakelands Public Health,” said Dr. Thomas Piggott, Medical Officer of Health. “His outstanding academic background, paired with his extensive hands-on residency experience and deep clinical understanding of both urban and remote communities, makes him an exceptional asset to our team. I look forward to working closely alongside him to protect and promote the health of everyone in our region.” In addition to his public health specialization, Dr. Tran maintains an active clinical practice in family medicine and hospitalist medicine. This clinical work has taken him across the province, serving diverse patient populations in North York, Parry Sound, Sioux Lookout, and Sandy Lake First Nation. This dual lens of frontline clinical care and population-level health strategy will heavily inform his work protecting and promoting health within the Lakelands communities. “I am thrilled to join the Lakelands Public Health team,” said Dr. Maxwell Tran. “I look forward to working closely with our amazing staff and with the Board of Health, municipalities, First Nations, and partners to improve the health of our communities.”

OMEMEE CHURCH GETS A NEW LIFE
From KawarthaNOW.com A former church in Omemee will become a new space for the community’s youngest residents as Compass Early Learning and Care prepares to open a new infant, toddler, and preschool child care program. The non-profit charitable organization is partnering with the City of Kawartha Lakes to establish the program at 62 King Street East, the former home of the historic Christ Church, with funding support from the provincial and federal governments. An opening date has not yet been announced, but families can now join a waitlist. A media release from Compass Early Learning and Care does not specify how many child care spaces will be available at the Omemee location. “Increasing access for families to high-quality, affordable child care is a key priority for the City of Kawartha Lakes Children’s Services,” says Alyson Traux, the municipality’s manager of human services, in the release. “With funding support from the Province of Ontario, and the Government of Canada, the City of Kawartha Lakes is proud to partner with Compass Early Learning and Care to meet the growing child care needs of families in this rural community.”

Horoscopes Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Aquarius, never forget: it’s okay to cry. Everyone cries over something - big or small, sad or wicked, or wrongful. It is a good way to respond to these emotions and discharge some of the hurt, so never be afraid to let the tears flow. Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) When things are going well, Pisces, you will have lots of friends. When things are not, some friends will disappear. Know which ones will stay and treasure them BEFORE you actually need them. Aries (March 21 to April 20) “Empathy is the most radical of human emotions.”: Gloria Steinem. Dear Aries, it isn’t always easy to see the other person’s situation through their eyes, but it can create huge changes and benefits in how you live. Making an effort is worth it. Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Taurus, “the quieter you become the more you hear”. In this coming astrological phase, try to sit back and listen to others more often. It may be eye-opening as well as ear-opening! Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Why not splurge a little, Gemini, before the cool winds of autumn approach and end the warmer season. Go for another canoe ride or another round of golf – and why not say good-bye to summer with a gigantic Death by Chocolate ice cream cone? Yum! Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Cancer, you need to stop waiting for everything to be perfectly ready and all things to fall into the right place. Whatever you are dreaming or planning – do it now! Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Every little thing can be a “New To You” experience, Leo. In the coming days, be
Sept. 18 to Oct. 1 By Melodie McCullough
curious as if, for the very first time, everything is new and no two moments are the same. Bring newness to all you do! Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) Virgo, do you put your health at the bottom of your priorities, and everyone else’s needs and wants at the top? Stop! You are the engine and heart for those you are helping, but an engine can’t work without the stuff that makes it chug and a heart can’t beat without a healthy body. Neither can you! Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) The beautiful harvest moon will shine down on Earth on September 26. It is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox and will appear on September 27 and 28, as well. Known as the Harvest Moon, its bright shine historically provides extra light for farmers to harvest in evenings. Libra, enjoy! Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Tell us, Scorpio, why do we glorify “busy”? Doing stuff all the time may be a search for success or the need to impress people. But is it healthy and wise? No, sirree! Why not read a book for fun, create an art piece, listen to a playlist and breathe? Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) It’s okay, dear Sag, to not have all the answers or make mistakes or have bad days or ask for help! These things make us human - so, be human! Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) The time is now to release old guilt, Capricorn. There is no point in reliving the faults and errors of your younger self. You didn’t know any better!
