PORTLAND BEAUTIFICATION SUB-COMMITTEE
We have a beautiful community here that we need to show off to
visitors and residents alike. The flowers (believe it or not) will
soon be growing and the seasonal residents and tourists will
arrive. Join us to put Portland-on-the-Rideau on the “must see”
list. All ideas and hands-on help are welcome.
Rideau Lakes Township has declared that the primary colours
for flowers this year will be red and yellow so we are making
sure to include these in our pots and beds and encourage
residents to do the same.

Keep us in mind when you are splitting plants in the spring. We
will gratefully receive any plants you don’t need. Financial
donations are also welcome. Cheques would be payable to
Township of Rideau Lakes, marked to the attention of Sue
Dunfield – with a note that it is for the Portland
Beautification Fund. Cheques can be mailed to the Township
Office or given to either contact shown below.
Sponsor a planter, a bench or flower bed and have your
name or the name of a loved one on a plaque! $75.00 for
one year or $150.00 for three years.
Beautification is a year-round endeavor with lots of activities,
not just for the summer months. It is a challenging, creative
exercise that works with a limited contribution from the
Township but fund raising at the local level is necessary to
supplement the budget.
One of the current fund-raising activities is the ‘ICE OUT
50/50 CONTEST’. You will find the calendar at the Portland
LCBO. For a Toonie you can choose a date and time (a.m. or
p.m.). Thanks to our local LCBO for their support.

How did this newsletter come about…?
The Portland Community Hall Board (PCHB) did a mail out flyer asking
people in the Portland area to come share ideas on rejuvenating the area.
Wednesday February 11th the board met in the Portland Community Hall
(PCH) with several guests attending.
Creation of a newsletter was considered to be one way to get in touch
with people and let them know of the many activities and events in the
Portland area. Portland On The Rideau newsletter is to provide
information for Ongoing Events and Activities plus Upcoming Special
Events and Activities. It will be available bi-monthly printed 6 times in a
calendar year.
If your club, committee or
organization has an activity/event
you’d like in the newsletter,

Celebration on Saturday August 8, 2015… We need to hear from you! You can’t have events and people without the ability
to have food and drink! The Churches and others are being approached to determine their interest in holding
breakfasts, canteens, maybe a corn roast… or other food and drink ideas. Nothing firm on this subject has been
established. It would be nice to see Community Organizations come forward with ideas.
A Portland Historical Walk will point out where the Dowsett Boat Works was located, along with the Dowsett homes in
the village of Portland. The Portland Historical Society will be providing a display of Commemorative pieces showing

Portland Docks
Among the Big Rideau Lake cottagers there are a number who are
concerned about the docking space in Portland, and I am asking for
your input and suggestions. I appreciate their concerns and
frustration because apparently the need to address the docking in
Portland has been on the table for a number of years with “nothing
happening”. Having been around Portland and the docks and
seeing the effect of the North winds for more than a couple of
decades, any docks for Portland have to be specifically planned,
designed and built for Portland.
The condition of the existing dock was examined last year and it’s
my understanding the findings of the condition was that it was
generally fairly sound. So I believe any discussion about additional
dockage in Portland is based on extension to the current existing
dock. Many lake users have said what a great job one of our
neighbouring municipalities have done in installing new dockage,
we can only work to ensure that we do as well.
When we talk about planning we need to try and determine the
amount of additional capacity, the potential use (more transient
cruisers, day trippers, loading/unloading by cottagers etc.), the
best layout and the impacts on adjoining residences and
businesses. Designed for protection of vessels, safety of the dock
users and contribute to the desire to wanting to visit/stay in
Portland.
As I stated earlier any dock built for Portland has to be able to
stand up to strong north winds, that doesn’t just mean the visible
part, but the anchoring system to hold the dock(s) in place. An
overriding factor that cannot be forgotten is the economics of
investing tax dollars into expansion of the facility and the ‘dollar
return’ versus ‘service factor’.
To move the issue forward from the ‘nothing happening’ to at least
commencing the ‘planning stage’, I would like to hear your
thoughts and ideas of what/why and how the docks in Portland
should be extended.
