Deep River Waterfront Improvement Project
Waterfront
Improvement Project was initiated by the Deep River
Horticultural Society in 2007 and the scope received support
from Deep River Town Council in January 2008.
The committee is looking for support and
donations from Friends and Businesses. If you would
like to make a donation contact the Town of Deep River or Brian
McInall @
valleywines@bellnet.ca, 613-584-2118 or at Valley
Wines.
Tax receipts will be provided by
the Town of Deep River.
Excerpt from January NRT
Article by Terry Myers
"Doug Champ, past president of the Horticultural Society and
a member of the committee, said the overall goals of the project
are to enhance the "visual appeal" and sustainability of the
waterfront between the marina and Beach Ave, and to improve the
overall "waterfront experience."
Some of the major parts of the project would be:
- stabilization work on the actual shoreline to prevent
further erosion
- raising and improving the trail along the waterfront to
make it wheelchair accessible
- building a bridge over one of the outlet creeks
- constructing a limestone block terrace in front of
Centennial Rock but below the level of the road
- installing canoe storage racks at the motor boat launch
area
- pruning and replanting the forest area with more native
trees and flowers
- and possibly widening Brockhouse Way to make it easier
for people to walk on the roadside. "

Recovering the Story of a Family in the War-Torn
Netherlands
www.theoccupiedgarden.com
 |
The Occupied
Garden, released March 2008 by McClelland
and Stewart, was written by sisters Kristen
den Hartog and Tracy Kasaboski. Chronicling
the lives of their father’s family in The
Netherlands during the Second World War, and
continuing beyond that time to tell of the
immigrant experience in Ontario of the
1950s, the book has received excellent
reviews. Kristen is an acclaimed novelist,
and lives in Toronto. Tracy resides in Deep
River, and looks forward to continuing with
a writing career. The book is available in
stores now, and has a complementary website
www.theoccupiedgarden.com
where the sisters invite readers to
contribute their own family stories and
memories from the First and Second World
War.
Please visit
their website to find out more. |
