Georgian Bay Steam Show roars into its 60th year
The Georgian Bay Steam Show is celebrating 60 years and many have made their way to Cookstown this long weekend to take in the action. Tractor pulls will be the main event Sunday night with lots to do during the day. 'it's a combination of antique power with the agricultural twist to it, with the farming equipment,' said James Few, president of the Georgian Bay Steam Show. He added there is plenty for children to come and see as well including face painting. 'We have heavy horse pulls, garden tractor pulls, we have, talent contest, vendors, everything you could ever want to see,' said Few. Stationary steam engines are back on the grounds after 20 years. 'Most of these steam engines here were built in Canada, and we'll run different implements back in the early turn of the century,' said Few. Andrew Webb grew up in Cookstown and owns a 1918, 25 horsepower Waterloo Steam Traction Engine, he said the machine is also a favourite at steam shows across the province. 1918, 25 horsepower Waterloo steam traction engine 1918, 25 horsepower Waterloo steam traction engine at the 60th Georgian Bay Steam Show (CTV NEWS/ Luke Simard) 'It was built by the Waterloo Manufacturing Company in Waterloo Ontario, and it was originally sold in Portage Prairie, Manitoba as a plowing engine out there,' said Webb. 'And it came back to Ontario in 1932 and did all kinds of various jobs around the province.' He credits the Georgian Steam Show for his passion in the industry. 'if it wasn't for this show when I was probably 13 or 14, I probably wouldn't be into the hobby as deep as I am today,' said Webb. With Few adding its important to remember the agriculture history. 'This is where everything started and this is where we built, this is where this we became a country because we could expand the land and be able to farm it and bring it up and move it and advance ourselves as a society,' said Few. 'And that's why this is important, to go back to our heritage.' 60th Georgian Bay Steam Show tractors at the 60th Georgian Bay Steam Show (CTV NEWS/ Luke Simard) The Georgian Bay Steam Show runs every long weekend in August.

Ford vows to 4-lane final stretch of Hwy. 69
Progress being reported on four-laning the final 68-km stretch of Highway 69 between Sudbury and Toronto. There appears to be progress on four-laning the remaining stretch of Highway 69 between Sudbury and Toronto in Ontario. Currently, approximately 68 kilometres of the highway from Henvey Inlet First Nation to Nobel remains incomplete. At a news conference in Thunder Bay on Thursday, Premier Doug Ford was asked about expanding all of Highways 11 and 17, rather than focusing solely on areas near the Manitoba border. Ford expressed strong support for the idea. Doug Ford Ontario Premier Doug Ford speaks in Thunder Bay, Ont., on July 31, 2025. (File photo/CTV News) Ford backs northern highway upgrades 'We're spending $200 billion on infrastructure, spending a fortune on roads and highways –I think it's up to $35 billion – but I'm all in, and I want to make sure our highways are safe,' Ford told reporters. 'It's treacherous, especially not just here, but have you ever gone from Sudbury down to the city? Like that two-lane – that was like white-knuckled driving down there. If a transport is off by two inches, you're done.' The premier highlighted an agreement with three First Nations communities to secure land for the project. 'We've bought their piece of property, and so we're going to be twinning that. We've made that announcement, and my goal is to make sure our highways are safe,' he said. Northern winters highlight need for safety improvements Ford emphasized the dangers of northern Ontario winters, stating that those in urban centres may not fully grasp the challenges. 'My message to people in the city – you have no clue until you come up to the north and you drive in the winter,' he said. 'We drove all through the north during the election. Snow was coming down – we had a pretty heavy winter. It's terrifying.' He added that northern Ontario's harsh conditions are something one must experience firsthand to truly understand. Timeline still unclear While Ford confirmed that Northern Development Minister Greg Rickford has been pushing to complete the project, no start date for construction has been announced. Provincial officials say Ontario remains committed to improving highway safety, with further details expected in the coming months.
