DEFENDING THEIR TERRITORY - Eight swans were spotted on Elgin Pond on Tuesday, all apparently considering a move to the local pond. The two swans pictured here, however, were keen to ensure no one else got too comfortable - out of frame of this photo was another swan these two were aggressively chasing away. Swans are highly territorial, especially during the breeding season. Photo by John Cavers
This week’s Uxbridge Cosmos leads with questions surrounding a possible provincial takeover of the Durham District School Board and even the appointment of a regional chair, though local trustees say they’ve heard nothing definitive from Queen’s Park. Council received updates from the Downtown Revitalization Advisory Committee on plans for Centennial Park and the heritage railway district, while organizers of the Uxbridge Scottish Festival proposed both a July return to Elgin Park and a new April Tartan Day parade. Seasonal reminders note spring weight restrictions on local roads and preview the Sunderland Maple Syrup Festival’s First Tapping ceremony. In sports, the Uxbridge Bruins dazzled fans with an 18–0 playoff victory to sweep their opening series, earning multiple league awards as they head into the semifinals.
