Description

"This permanent document will forever enshrine the strong sense of community and the interdependence of neighbours that forged the bonds of [this] community. The rich story about the trials and tribulations, the heartaches and the joys, the struggles and achievements, will grant to future generations a sense of identity with the past and be a compass for the future. I hope it will be a stimulus for fond memories for many of our senior citizens and an inspiration to our youth." - Arnold Malone, M.P. 634 pages, with over 300 pages of family histories. Generously illustrated with black and white reproductions of archival photos. Extensive index with hundreds of family names. Bibliography. Photo endpapers.
