The Bright Light Social Hour

Fri, 22 Jun 2012 5:31:58 -0700

On July 10th, Austin Texas' very own, The Bright Light Social Hour, will be coming to Burnstown to rock Neat Coffee Shop.

Born out of a university art-rock collective, the band first gained attention in Austin from their incendiary live performances and innovative vision of rock and roll. Melding southern rock, hard dance, psychedelic blues and deep soul - their debut full-length album led to heightening critical acclaim, and a rare sweep of six awards at the SXSW 2011 Austin Music Awards - which included Band of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year.

Now they will be bringing that same intensity to the Canadian festival scene. They just finished NXNE, where they packed their venues and completely wowed the audiences. They are now heading out across the country, even sharing the stage with Aerosmith and Big Sugar along the way. Their debut album will be available in-stores for the first time in Canada on July 3^rd, just in time for their live shows.

Tickets are $17.00

2012 BOAT LAUNCH LETTER

Fri, 11 May 2012 8:08:24 -0700

Dear Boat Launch User

Welcome to Horton Township. We are pleased to provide you with this boat launch to use for your recreational pleasure.

We draw your attention to the fact that it costs public tax dollars to provide and maintain this facility. Horton Township Boat Launch requires daily maintenance, trash clean up, grass cutting, emptying of garbage receptacles, and general inspection of lot, Boat Launch Pad maintenance and safety checks and the installation and maintenance of the Township dock.

The Horton Boat launch is a central access point to launch boats on the Ottawa River.

The Horton Boat Launch Facility in an excellent launch site for all who frequent the area, visitors and residents alike. It is easily accessible and is very user friendly and is one of the nicer launches in the area.

In the past we have requested that people purchase a seasonal pass for $20.00 or make a $2.00 donation per launch. We find for the amount of traffic that uses the boat launch most people are not even paying the $2.00 fee requested. This is not covering the costs that we incur to operate the Boat Launch.

There are new mandatory fees for all who use our Boat Launch Facility to launch a recreational water floatation device and to park in our parking lot.

On March 6, 2012 the New Fees and Charges By-law 2012 -15 were passed.

2012 Boat Launch Seasonal Permit - $40.00

This tag is to hang from your rear view mirror or be clearly displayed on your vehicle dashboard.

2012 Day Permit - $7.00

This tag is to hang from your rear view mirror or be clearly displayed on your vehicle dashboard.

All vehicles in the parking lot that do not display a valid 2012 Seasonal or Day Permit Parking/Launch Tag will be subject to a Fine of $ 29.95.

This fine is enforceable through Municipal By–Law 2012 -17

Our parking lot will be monitored regularly and parking tickets will be issued and enforced.

All Passes may be purchased in advance from the Township office at 2253 Johnston Rd. Renfrew, Ontario 613 432-6271

We have future plans to install a combined washroom/ Emergency Pumping Station here at the boat launch. The Pumping Station would be a shared access water supply for McNab/ Braeside and the Horton Fire Department to use during emergency situations within the community. McNab Braeside Fire Dept. has donated a diesel powered pump. The pump can pump 1500 gallons a minute. There would need to be a small building over it and electrical hook up.

In the meantime we have installed a portable washroom for your convenience. We hope that everyone will be respectful of our facilities. So they will be kept clean for all to use.
