If emailing our Town Council members of Whitby, and you want your email to be viewed only by the person (s) you address it to, please make sure you mark your email “Private and Confidential” or Specify you do not want your email  forwarded to any one else.

A local resident is up in arms about a recent email she  sent to Whitby Mayor Pat Perkins in which she stated some concerns she had regarding Regional Chair Roger Anderson. The resident did not want the email to go to Mr. Anderson and thought she was sharing in confidence her concerns with some one she felt would either understand or perhaps offer possible solutions.

The email in question did in fact end up being received by Mr. Anderson although no one from the Town of Whitby seems to know who forwarded the email to Mr. Anderson. However, the resident in question received an email personally from Mr. Anderson addressing her concerns.

It is unfortunate this happened, for I am sure the resident in question is now reluctant to voice any future concerns. Hopefully, due to this particular incident being published this sort of thing will not be happening in the future.

If you have concerns regarding the direction the Town of Whitby may be taking, or about anything you would like answers to, don’t hesitate to send in your concerns. 

However always keep in mind that even with marking your email “confidential” or Do not forward there still may be circumstances in which the email could legally be disclosed without the consent of the original sender….

FYI: The latest from Team Chelsea…

For your interest, please view the latest email from Team Chelsea member Janet. 

Thank you to all of you for your continued support, time and efforts in the ongoing search for Chelsea.

We continue to search and as always hope that Chelsea’s capture will be the next one to report.

We were unable to locate the loose black dog with the white chest this past Wednesday near Anderson and Manning in Whitby, but it was not for lack of trying.

As with the large paw prints seen in the Pringle Creek area, we have no way of knowing at this time if these are Chelsea’s prints, since there are many other dogs that are walked in that area everyday. It is an area that we do walk frequently and monitor, as with various other green space areas, as we know Chelsea does move about. The weather has certainly been beautiful and has made it very pleasant to be out and about while searching.

Congratulations to Lana for assisting a young kitten that she found near a ravine. The kitten was very underweight and in needing help. Thanks to Lana, the kitten now has a new home and a family who cares about her. Thanks Lana, well done!!!!!!

In addition to the 94 pets that have been rescued, while searching for Chelsea, 2 goats and 2 cows were also returned to their farms. As well, several horses were secured as the farmer was unaware that his fencing was down in an area near a very busy road. Way to go Ann !!!!!!!

Because of you, these pets have been reunited with their families, and the livestock now safely back at the farm. We know how important it is to act quickly when any animal is on the loose and in danger, “if it is loose and alone, lend a hand and a leash”.

Thank you for spreading the word about Chelsea and for keeping an eye out for her and all loose animals. We very much appreciate all that you do.

What to do if you spot Chelsea:

• Immediately call 905-706-2635 or 905-666-4676

Remain calm – projecting a calm energy is very important

DO NOT face her square on – instead have your body on an angle so you are not in a threatening position

• You can try to lure her with treats, speak quietly, slowly and calmly in order to create curiosity in her rather than excitement

Allow her to come to you – if she moves away then keep your distance but try and keep her in your sights.

Please do NOT chase or tackle Chelsea, we do not want her to be subjected to any further trauma and we do not want any harm to come to her or you. 


Whitby Museum may have to close it’s doors

Who is this?photo from Whitby Historical Society Website.

History is what makes us the people we are, we learn and grow from it, well that’s the idea anyway. Unfortunately times are tough and the history of a town like Whitby, isn’t what the average tax payer is interested in. 

Whitby has grown enormously in the 17 years we have been residents, and it is slowly losing its small town appeal which may be reflected in the lack of interest for our Whitby Museum. 

The Whitby Museum is a not for profit organization which offers a glimpse into the town’s rich history through a display of unique artifacts from the early 1900’s. 

David Chambers, president of the Whitby Historical Society, which operates the museum states “It may be that times are changing and people are probably not too interested in museums, but I still think they’ve got a value in society”. 

The Society was founded in 1967 as a project for Canada’s Centennial that year and incorporated as a registered charity in 1968. The location of the museum has moved around a bit over the years and even had a period of 15 years where all historical pieces were stored away until a group of volunteers worked hard to raise enough money to open the museum in its present location at 123 Brock St. S. in 2004. 

Former president Margaret Boyce passed away in December and since then efforts by the remaining members to keep up with expenses have been difficult. Ms Boyce, through her passion and fabulous fund-raising ideas kept the museum operating. 

Monthy rent alone for the premise is $1600:00 which translates to $150,000 for the last eight years. Mr. Chambers states, they are looking to the public for assistance in the form of donations and volunteers to help keep the site running… 

If you would like to be come involved in trying to save the Whitby Museum and honour Ms. Boyce’s hard work please contact Mr. Chambers at: 905-6654-5044 or Click Here to email or Click Here to visit their website.

New Moon March 22

The New Moon is a fresh start, a time to entertain new ideas and put into action new plans….

**advised to check individual horoscopes before engaging in different/new things as individually this may not be the right time for you**

March 20 sees our lady visiting with the most masculine of planets Aries at 10:37 am … you are advised to wait until the next day to initiate new plans.. :) 

The new moon in Aries is a great time for new beginnings of personal change, as it is easier to put ones own needs first… just be careful of being too impulsive, as once this period is over you may not feel so excited about the changes put in motion… :) Energy levels should be higher for the next few days and we are likely to feel more “heroic” and argumentative… caution is always advised when strong emotions are present and we advise a closer watch during this time… :)
