  Located at the corner of Hwy 124 (to the north) and Hwy 89 (to the west) is the newest location for a Tim Horton's.  If all goes well the store is to be built in the next year or so according to head office.  This will be the first time that a Tim Horton store will open it's doors to the locals of this fine town.  It's quite amazing that after all these years Shelburne is going to have a store, considering Tim's Grandfather lived here on Andrew st for years!!         07/05/2008

Anyone who knows teaching knows it is a fulltime occupation and then some, yet two local educators, Ian MacCallum and Ingrid Langhorst, have found time to follow their life's inspiration of music all the way to the recording studio. With the release of their first CD, "Let it Float", the husband and wife team realize a dream of many years. In 2005, while vacationing on Prince Edward Island the couple happened upon award winning producer Lester Stubbert. They played Stubbert their demo, made at Steve Altilia's studio in Riverview, northwest of Shelburne. Stubbert was interested, and a collaboration began to produce a CD from a selection of 40 songs written by MacCallum and Langhorst.

Improving and maintaining a trail network through Shelburne is a short-term priority identified in a recent active transportation plan (ATP) study.The study was conducted by Meridian Planning Consultants and Cumming, with the aim of developing recommendations that would move Shelburne closer to a number of goals, some of which included active living, year-round, in all age groups, as well as further development of the Shelburne Trail Network.

Pets and their owners need worry no more about transient veterinary service in Shelburne. We now have Dr. Bob McKee and his wife, Terry, in town and looking to grow some deep roots. McKee, who operated a small veterinarian practice in Waterloo throughout the '90s, has extensive emergency medical experience through working in clinics in Brampton, Barrie and Kitchener. In 2003, the couple bought a practice in Lindsay, and soon found themselves providing care for the canine unit for the Lindsay Police's dogs, Flint and Strike, at their own expense. To this day, McKee still provides care for the now-retired Flint and remains a partner with the Kawartha Animal Hospital. In June, the couple moved into a new house in Shelburne and opened the Headwaters Veterinary Hospital at 127 Owen Sound Str... 07/01/2008
