The community of Fenelon Falls in the City of Kawartha Lakes has been devastated by the news of the unexpected passing of Randy Meredith, the popular owner of Grr8 Finds Market and a LGBTQ+ champion. Meredith passed away peacefully at his Fenelon Falls his home on Saturday (September 3) at the age of 56.

Meredith opened Grr8 Finds Market in downtown Fenelon Falls 13 years ago, initially as an indoor vendors market at 27 Colborne Street, and then expanding to include 29 Colborne Street. With an eclectic mix of antiques and upcycled, recycled, and retro collectibles and home decor, it was voted as Best Antique Shop in Kawartha Lakes six times and also appeared on HGTV’s “Scott’s Vacation House Rules.”

Grr8 Finds Market also became known as a pillar of love and acceptance in Fenelon Falls with Meredith, who identified as gay, offering a safe and inclusive space for anyone, including those in the LGBTQ+ community and especially youth who needed support.

Meredith also became known for the often-outrageous outfits he wore for “Wacky Wednesdays,” with photos shared on the store’s social media accounts.

Rylee Rae, who works at Grr8 Finds Market and is an organizer of Kawartha Lakes Pride, posted Sunday morning about Meredith on the Grr8 Finds Market’s Facebook page.

“Our community lost one of its pillars yesterday and I lost someone who was an elder, parent, friend and anything else I could ever need,” the post reads in part. “Randy was and will always be the unconventional necessity we all needed. He lived his truth so loudly, it made it safe for anyone and everyone else to do the same. His heart was almost as enormous as his wardrobe.”

There are no words great or wacky enough to describe all that he was. Our community lost one of its pillars yesterday…

Since news of Meredith’s passing, social media has been flooded with comments from people mourning his passing.

“We were devastated yesterday to find out that our dear friend Randy Meredith passed away in his sleep early Saturday morning,” wrote Fenelon Falls resident Sylvia Keesmaat on Facebook. “Randy was, in many ways, the beating heart of downtown Fenelon Falls. He was a pastoral presence for young people who needed a listening ear, a staunch friend in all circumstances, and his heart was one of welcome, especially for those in the LGBTQ+ community.”

As a champion of both Fenelon Falls and the LGBTQ+, Meredith has hosted a window window display for Kawartha Lakes Pride every year for the past five years.

The Fenelon Falls community rallied behind Meredith in July 2022, after a man entered Grr8 Finds Market and subjected both Meredith and Rae to hateful slurs about their sexual orientation.

In December 2021, CBC’s comedy-reality series Still Standing with comedian Jonny Harris filmed an episode in Fenelon Falls.

That episode, broadcast in March 2022 on the series’ seventh season, featured a segment on “Wacky Wednesdays” with Meredith and Rae.

On Wednesday (September 7), members of the Fenelon Falls business community were asked to pay tribute to Meredith with a village-wide “Wacky Wednesday,” with everyone invited to wear wacky clothing and gather outside of of Grr8 Finds at noon for a group photo.

People were also are encouraged to post photos of their “Wacky Wednesday” outfits on social media with the hashtag #WackyforRandy.

“We really wanted to create another seasonal event that would not only attract new visitors to Ken Reid Conservation Area, but create a regional destination that the entire Kawartha Lakes community will benefit from,” Virgoe explains.

“Kawartha Lakes has so much to offer visitors from the beautiful quaint towns and villages, shopping and dining experiences, and the amazing fall road driving tours. The Kawartha Fall Festival helps to support all of the best our communities have to offer.”

From 6 to 9 p.m. each evening, the historic village will be illuminated by the soft glow of lantern and candle light, providing visitors with a twilight-to-nightfall perspective of life for pioneer settlers.

Our top nine Instagram photographers for August 2022

By Jeannine Taylor -

If one were to make a bucket list for August in the Kawarthas, it might look something like our top photos for August.

A kayak on a beautiful lake apres-rainfall, with a double rainbow (and a unicorn). A loon with wings spread wide, shaking off water droplets. A beautiful tall fountain captured in a summer sunset on a lake in a lovely small city. A field of sunflowers, all looking at you. A pristine waterway undisturbed and filled with lily pads. A blue heron, watching you, up close. Classic red chairs on a cottage country dock, waiting for the bride on her wedding day. And an early sunrise on a very still lake with a great name — Lovesick.

I’m sure there are many more things on any Kawarthas bucket list, but we think this one is a good one and pretty close to perfect. I hope you enjoy this month’s top photos. Can you spot the unicorn?

Do you want to get on our top photographers list? All you need is an Insta account and to tag us using our hashtag #kawarthanow when posting your photo.

We share photos from across our readership area, which is the five-county area surrounding Peterborough which includes Peterborough, Northumberland, City of Kawartha Lakes, Haliburton, and Hastings (we sneak in the occasional Algonquin Park picture as well, particularly if it’s by a Kawarthas photographer).

Downtown Peterborough’s popular Taso’s Restaurant & Pizzeria will be opening a second location in Fowlers Corners, northeast of the city of Peterborough on the border of the City of Kawartha Lakes and Peterborough County.

Taso’s has acquired the building at 18 Lindsay Road, the former location of Momma’s Pizzeria that closed in 2020.

While no official opening date has been announced, Taso’s held a pop-up restaurant event at the location on Saturday afternoon (September 3) offering wood-fired pizza, burgers, wings, and more. The event was sold out by Saturday night.

“Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for an incredible afternoon,” Taso’s wrote on social media on Sunday morning. “We were amazed with the turnout and so grateful for all the warm wishes!”

Taso Hatzianastasiou opened his downtown Peterborough restaurant in 2019 at 287 George Street North, the location of the former Dobro bar, after extensive renovations. The restaurant offers Greek and Italian food, specializing in Sicilian pan pizza.

The second restaurant seems destined to be a success, based on the attendance at Saturday’s pop-up restaurant and the more than 1,100 likes on the Facebook post where Taso’s announced it would be opening in Fowlers Corners.

A self-described disabled/queer/transmasculine multidisciplinary artist, Petch is a former Trent University student and Peterborough resident now based in Toronto. A touring performer, as well as a mentor and workshop facilitator, Petch was the 2017 Poet of Honour for the speakNORTH national festival, winner of the Golden Beret lifetime achievement in spoken word with The League of Canadian Poets (2020), and is the founder of Hot Damn it’s a Queer Slam.

Most recently, Petch won the 2022 ReLit Award for poetry for their debut collection Why I Was Late, which Montreal-based journalist and author Justin Ling described as his favourite book of 2021 in The Walrus.

What’s open and closed on Labour Day 2022

By kawarthaNOW -
Labour Day celebrates the collective accomplishments of the labour movement in improving working conditions and justice for workers, as symbolized by this memorial in Millennium Park erected by the Peterborough District Labour Council and dedicated to workers past, present, and future. A post-pandemic economic recovery plan that invests in environmentally sustainable industries could create millions of sustainable jobs for Canadians, vibrant and resilient communities, and improve the lives of marginalized workers. (Photo: Lester Balajadia)

Labour Day is a federal statutory holiday falling on the first Monday of September. Since Labour Day is a statutory holiday, all government offices and services and all liquor stores are closed, although a few beer stores are open in Peterborough, Lindsay, and Cobourg. Most major grocery stores are also open (except in Peterborough). Most malls are closed, although many big box stores are open (except in Peterborough). Most drug stores and pharmacies are also open.

The origins of Labour Day in Canada can be traced back to 1872, when the Toronto Printers’ Union went on strike for a nine-hour work day and 10,000 workers marched in a parade in support of the strikers. Outdated laws criminalising union activity were still on the books in Canada, and police arrested 24 strike leaders. Other labour leaders organized a demonstration in Ottawa to protest the arrests, prompting Canadian Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald to repeal the “barbarous” anti-union laws.

For your convenience, we provide this list of holiday hours for 294 selected businesses, services, and organizations across the Kawarthas. This information comes from their websites and social media accounts, which may or may not be up to date, so please always call them first to confirm their hours (we’ve included phone numbers), especially where you see “call” or “call to confirm” or if you are travelling any distance. If your business or organization is listed and the hours are incorrect, please let us know by using our content feedback form. We do not have the hours for restaurants in this list as there are far too many to include.

Labour Day long weekend begins in tragedy after fatal collision on Highway 115 near Peterborough

By kawarthaNOW -

The Labour Day long weekend began in tragedy following a fatal collision on Highway 115 just south of Peterborough on Friday afternoon (September 2).

At around 3:30 p.m., a commercial motor vehicle was topped in the northbound lanes near Airport Road due to traffic when it was rear-ended by a pickup truck.

The pickup truck was then rear-ended by a second commercial motor vehicle.

The lone occupant of the pickup truck was pronounced dead at the scene.

On Wednesday (September 7), police identified the victim as 35-year-old Nathan Wagstaff of Peterborough.

Peterborough County OPP closed the northbound lanes of the 115 between Airport Road and County Road 28 for several hours while they documented the scene.

Detours were in place, and northbound traffic on the 115 was backed up by several kilometres at 5 p.m. on Friday afternoon.

The cause of the collision remains under investigation. Anyone who may have witnessed the collision or has dashcam footage and has not yet spoken with police is asked to contact the Peterborough County OPP Detachment at 705-742-0401 or 1-888-310-1122.

 

This story has been updated to include the identity of the victim.

Property owners donate their 61-acre Peterborough County woodlot to Kawartha Land Trust

Two people who wish to remain anonymous have donated a 61-acre woodlot in Peterborough County to Kawartha Land Trust, a non-government charitable organization working to protect land in the Kawarthas.

Known as Pipers’ Woods, the mature woodlot is part of a larger extensive forested area. Situated on limestone bedrock with shallow soil, the older trees and abundance of wildflowers on the property took many years to establish themselves.

The two donors purchased the property several decades ago, and the wide diversity of flora and fauna in Pipers’ Woods reflects their long-time interest in land stewardship and sustainable forestry, They decided to gift the property to Kawartha Land Trust to ensure the forest and its abundant wildlife would not be disturbed by future development or logging.

“As we are getting older, this donation was part of our estate planning,” the donors state. “We had previously read and heard about the good work of Kawartha Land Trust.”

Tree species in the property’s coniferous swamp include eastern white cedar, balsam fir, and white spruce, while the upland deciduous forest hosts sugar maple and red and white oak, as well as butternut — a species classified as “endangered” under Ontario’s Endangered Species Act.

The property is also home to two bird species at risk: the eastern wood-pewee and the wood thrush. The wood thrush, which thrives in core forest habitats like Pipers’ Woods, has seen its population decline in Canada by 83 per cent between 1970 and 2011.

To ensure the preservation of its sensitive habitat, Kawartha Land Trust is not disclosing the location of Pipers’ Woods and, at the request of the donors, the property will not be open to public access.

“We’re extremely grateful to the donors of Pipers’ Woods for their generosity and commitment to protecting land in the Kawarthas,” says John Kintare, executive director of Kawartha Land Trust.

“This mature forest will continue to be home to species like the barred owl that prefer older forests that cannot be quickly or easily re-established once gone.”

Kawartha Land Trust now protects 27 properties — including 11 in the past two years — comprising almost 5,800 acres and providing additional safe havens for wildlife in the Kawarthas while securing important ecological landscapes to help combat climate change.
