An Interesting History

Bobcaygeon was incorporated as a village in 1876, and became known as the “Hub of the Kawarthas”. There is some mystery to where the name originated from however. History records 4 versions for the origin of the name:

It may be from the Mississauga Ojibway words

  • Baabaagwaajiwanaangmeaning “at the very shallow currents”,
  • giishkaabikojiwanaang meaning “at the cliffed cascades”,
  • obaabikojiwanaang” meaning at the currented rocky narrows”,

Or from the French beau bocage “beautiful hedged farmland”.

There are lots of other celebrations in Bobcaygeon including:

Unlock the summer event. The first lock in the Trent-Severn Waterway was built in Bobcaygeon in 1833. During the last weekend in May or first weekend in June, Bobcaygeon hosts the “Unlock The Summer” Event, as a kick off for summer, and the first opening of the locks of the season.

Ontario Open Fiddle & Step dance Competition. Bobcaygeon also hosts the annual Ontario Open Fiddle & Step dance Competition during the last weekend of July – an event that has been going on since 1970. The annual Bobcaygeon Fall Fair takes place during the last weekend of September. The first was held in 1858.

But with the end of summer upon us, the focus is on the Bobcaygeon Fall Fair.

We hope you will enjoy your visit to the “Daddy of ’em All” and appreciate the many samplings of Entertainment and Agricultural displays we have assembled.

Bobcaygeon Fall Fair President, Pieter VanOudenaren

The RCMP Musical Ride

Posted in Day to Day Life, tagged , , , , , on September 5, 2016| Leave a Comment »

If you have never seen the Musical Ride of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police make sure you have tickets for the event to take place at Peterborough’s Morrow Park on September 7th. 

Bethany.Ontario.Blog.RCMP.Musical.Ride

The Musical Ride is a formal event showcasing the equestrian skills performed by 32 cavalry who are regular members of the RCMP. You will witness an amazing performance, consisting of intricate figures and drills – all choreographed to music. These movements demand the utmost control, timing and coordination…a spectacular accomplishment for the riders let alone the 32 horses.

The event is held in Canada and worldwide to promote the RCMP. The first official ride was held in 1887 in Regina, District of Assiniboia. Members of the North-West Mounted Police were able to display their riding ability and entertain the local community. It has evolved over the decades into a uniquely Canadian performance enjoyed by tens of thousands of spectators every year.

It is now performed in up to 50 communities across Canada between the months of May and October.

The special event helps to raise thousands of dollars for local charities and non-profit organizations. The show in Peterborough will benefit the PARD Therapeutic Riding program – not only as a fundraising opportunity – but also as a way to raise awareness about PARD. Horses are the core of PARD’s program, providing the physical, emotional and psychological benefits of therapeutic riding to individuals regardless of age, ability, or financial means. 

“The show is something every Canadian should see in their lifetime,” says PARD president Angie Muir. “For me, the RCMP Musical Ride is a symbol of patriotic pride and this is a rare opportunity to see them.  The tour brings them to Ontario every four years, and it’s been almost 30 years since they were in Peterborough. I think it is a tremendous honour to welcome them to our beautiful city again.”

Members of the Musical Ride are first and foremost police officers. They all have at least two years’ experience in active police work before volunteering for duty with the Musical Ride. Surprisingly, most have no prior riding experience. The riders act as ambassadors of goodwill, promoting the RCMP’s image, heritage and traditions throughout Canada and all over the world.

Queen Elizabeth II takes a keen and highly knowledgeable interest in horses. As the Honorary Commissioner of the RCMP she has been presented with four horses as gifts from the Force.

Bethany.Ontario.Blog.RCMP.Musical.Ride.2

In addition to the show on Sept. 7, area residents will have an opportunity to see the RCMP horses up close while they are housed in Peterborough for six days in the fairground barns. Ryan Moore, President of the Peterborough Agricultural Society, is excited to extend a warm welcome to everyone to visit the barns and see the horses.

Curve Lake Indian Reserve and Whetung Ojibwa Centre

Posted in Businesses in Bethany, Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , on August 28, 2016| Leave a Comment »

The Curve Lake Indian Reserve is part of the beautiful Kawarthas region.

The Reserve has a very rich history from generations of the Whetung family.  Over the years, the Whetungs have conducted steamboat cruises on the lakes around their peninsula, traded in furs, guided fishermen, catered banquets and operated a grocery store, postal station and taxi service. The Whetung Ojibwa Center evolved from a fishing lodge opened in the early 1900’s.

When unemployment was very high on the Reserve in the early 1960s, the Whetungs encouraged their fellow band members to produce crafts. Eleanor Whetung, her five children, and women from the reserve and their children were the core of the cottage industry in the Whetung living room that gradually extended to hundreds of band members.

Bethany.Ontario.Blog.Whetung.Ojibwa.Centre

They made canoes, pipes, birch bark and sweet-grass baskets, feather headdresses, dolls and moccasins. With the assistance of a loan, the first craft shop was built and opened in 1966 in the same location where Clifford Whetung’s great-grandfather had his grocery store, only a stone’s throw from the small, wooden cottage where Clifford was born. Business flourished and three years later an old barn was renovated to handle the expansion of craft production and storage.

Bethany.Ontario.Blog.Whetung.Ojibwa.Centre.3

Today the main building displays handcrafts from all parts of Canada, as well as those still produced within the community. The area downstairs offers a selection of arctic parkas, Cowichan sweaters, leather garments, souvenir apparel, gloves and various bead accessories. Adjacent to that is the museum. It features the Whetungs’ private collection, the work of artists and craftspeople from the Curve Lake Reserve and outstanding native craft work from across Canada.

Two special events to plan on attending:  

Sept 17 & 18, 2016 – Curve Lake Pow Wow

The Pow Wow is a two-day celebration of song, dance, stories and food! Pow Wow time is the Native American people’s way of coming together, to join in dancing, singing, visiting, renewing old friendships and making new ones.

The Curve Lake Pow Wow is just down the road from Whetung Gallery. It is an annual event that draws visitors from across North America. Don’t miss this one!

Oct 8 & 9, 2016– Thanksgiving Art Show 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Bring the whole family to meet the artists and see them in action at this interesting event suitable for the whole family. Plan a day trip and enjoy the beautiful fall colours on your way to the Whetung Gallery.

The Centre is open every day and admission is free. If you are travelling from Peterborough, take Water Street North to Buckhorn Road to Curve Lake Road.

Travelling by boat?  From Buckhorn Lake, dock on Coppaway Point, only a few minutes’ walk from the Gallery.

Peterborough and the Kawartha’s “Some of the best inland boating in the world!”

Posted in Day to Day Life, tagged , , , , , on August 21, 2016| Leave a Comment »

If you are a boater you will be hard pressed to find any area as good as the Kawartha’s. The reasons are simple: dozens of lakes, beautiful scenery, marinas and outfitter stores, restaurants – and the heart of the Trent-Severn Waterway – Canada’s longest chain of locks and canals, connecting the lakes and rivers to the Great Lake system.

The variety of water activities is almost endless. If you want some physical activity you can try watersports such as kayaking, canoeing, wakeboarding, or water skiing followed by a leisurely tube ride. Or catch your supper fishing. Others simply cruise in their boats or enjoy sightseeing from a pontoon boat.

Or, you can rent a houseboat! 

Bethany.Ontario.blog.Houseboating

You can fish along the way for Bass, Muskie and Pickerel. If you want to cook your fish, you can pair it with local fruits and vegetables from the variety of farmer’s markets. Or if you prefer, you can try the ‘catch of the day’ at one of the many dining options on the shores.

If you want to try house boating but don’t know where to start, no problem. You can choose from one of the House boating Itineraries:

  • 3 – 5 Day Journey, a one day trip from Pigeon Lake to Hastings.
  • 1 – 2 days from Hastings to Peterborough
  • Day Trip from Burleigh Falls to Peterborough
  • Day Trip from Bobcaygeon to Burleigh Falls

The following map shows the route from Bobcaygeon to Hastings.

Bethany.Ontario.blog.Houseboating.2

You can start your research by downloading the 2016 Peterborough and The Kawarthas Experience Directory. Over 40 pages of information on:

  • Places to stay
  • Attractions
  • Outdoor recreation
  • Shopping
  • Retreats

And if that were not enough, there is a special section on “Building Your Bucket List.” The information helps you choose all of the activities you have always wanted to do but have not gotten around to yet! You can choose from detailed itineraries…

  • If you are culture and history buff,
  • If you love to be entertained,
  • If you’re a foodie who also enjoys craft wines, beers and spirits,
  • Or if you love the great outdoors.

Communities open the doors to some of Ontario’s most intriguing and charming heritage sites between April and October 2016. Do some planning in advance to be sure you don’t miss any of the free events in the area.

Doors Open Ontario showcases the buildings, natural spaces, infrastructure and cultural centres that shape and define our communities including historical houses to modern architecture.

Bethany.Ontario.Blog.Doors.Open.2016

The theme for 2016 is focused on our rich medical legacy. Many people do not know that Ontario can boast an amazing number of innovations in medical science, procedures and technology. Each destination has a fascinating story to tell. Featured sites include hospitals, medical schools and laboratories that showcase Ontario’s and Canada’s achievements in medicine. Learn more about ingenious innovators and remarkable discoveries while you uncover the places that made medical history.

Admission is free! And the Ontario Heritage Trust invites you to experience these treasures first-hand.

“Since it began, Doors Open Ontario has allowed millions of people to glimpse into some of our province’s most fascinating cultural sites. Not only does the program boost local economies, but it also raises awareness of and interest in heritage conservation.

Bethany.Ontario.Blog.Doors.Open.2.2016

You will see how the logging trade supported families through the first quarter of the 20th century. Gain an appreciation of how challenging farming must have been as residents had to clear rocks from the land before they could even think about farming. In fact, the area is known as “The Land Between” as it is the spot where the limestone plains and the Canadian Shield converged.

The link below highlights the locations of the Kawartha Lakes events:

Dining with a Different Twist!

Posted in Businesses in Bethany, tagged , , , , , , on July 27, 2016| Leave a Comment »

Want to do something different for a night out near Bethany? Maybe shake up your usual going out for dinner routine?

Bethany.Ontario.Blog.Kawartha.Downs

Why not try the Kawartha Downs Grandstand Dining Room? The popular dining spot sells out on most race nights, so plan ahead.

You can watch all of the excitement of Harness Racing while dining on the famous buffet including aged prime rib, mashed potatoes, pasta, seafood, pork, chicken, vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, a delicious variety of salads and desserts. And the best part? The price has remained at $29.95 ($12.95 for children 2 to 12 years of age).

Going out with a group? No problem. Groups of 10 or more receive a reduced rate of $28.47. Each adult in the group receives a $2 betting voucher, and a $5 Shorelines Casino voucher. Groups of 6-9 will receive a $5 voucher for Shorelines Casino at Kawartha Downs.

Reserve your seats by calling 705-940-0237.

And for something totally unique, if you are planning a party for a birthday, anniversary, or any other milestone, just call the marketing director at 905-259-3889 to arrange a race named after your group, winner’s circle presentations or group photo.

Please note that the dining room is six levels of tiered seating and there is no elevator available and several sets of stairs to access the dining room. 

A great dining event paired with the excitement of harness racing is the perfect way to spend a summer evening.

Bethany.Ontario.Blog.Kawartha.Downs.2

In addition to the fact that horse racing is an exciting sport, it is also a dynamic business and a major contributor to the agricultural economy in Ontario. Kawartha Downs features harness or Standardbred racing where the horses are attached to a race bike (called a sulky) and are steered by drivers through a one mile race.

Kawartha Downs is a five-eighths mile track which means the races start on the far side (away from the grandstand) of the racetrack, pass by the grandstand and race once more around the track with the exciting finish right in front of the fans and grandstand.

The horses competing in harness racing have two distinct gaits.

Pacers

Pacers are the most common. They move with both legs on the same side operating together. The front and hind legs on the right and left side move together.

The majority of pacers wear equipment called hopples which help them maintain their gait.

Trotters

When a trotter races their opposite legs work together – the front right and left rear come forward at the same time and vice versa.

The Standardbred horse is noted for its versatility and even temperament.

Visit the Canoe Museum this Summer!

Posted in Businesses in Bethany, tagged , , , , on July 20, 2016| Leave a Comment »

Located just a short drive from Bethany, the Canadian Canoe Museum is located in Peterborough.

“The Canadian Canoe Museum is a unique national heritage centre that explores the canoe’s enduring significance to the peoples of Canada, through an exceptional collection of canoes, kayaks and paddled watercraft.”

Bethany.Ontario.Blog.Canoe.Museum

The Museum is engaging, interactive and family-friendly with more than 100 canoes and kayaks on display. The entire collection totals more than 600 artifacts and now includes examples of paddled watercraft from as far away as Paraguay and the Amazon, expanding the museum to include an International collection.

The display includes the great dugouts of the First Nations of the Pacific Northwest to the singular bark canoes of the Beothuk of Newfoundland; from the skin-on-frame kayaks of northern peoples from Baffin Island in the east to the Mackenzie River Delta in the northwest to the all-wood and canvas-covered craft manufactured by local Canadian companies.

Bethany.Ontario.Blog.Canoe.Museum.2

A Recipe for a Unique Family Outing

Plan your visit to the Museum in the morning, grab a bite to eat at one of Downtown Peterborough’s cafe and then join the Voyageur Canoe Tour at the Peterborough Lift Lock!

Your family will take part in a one-of-a-kind tour, helping to paddle a 36′ Montreal canoe along the Trent-Severn Waterway and through the Peterborough Lift Lock. The experience has been created in partnership with Parks Canada, providing a great experience for people of all ages and abilities.

And the great news! No previous paddling experience is necessary, only a willingness to try new things!

Throughout the tour, you will hear stories about voyageur life and learn about the history of the waterway and how the Peterborough Lift Lock was built. As you travel through the Lift Lock you’ll gain an incredible view of the canal while learning basic paddling strokes. Your family will be working with the group to move the big canoe through the water.

Paddles and lifejackets are provided. You just need to bring a hat, water and sunscreen.
