Thank you Everyone – Great Celebration

The City of St.Catharines Heritage Committee would like to thank everyone who joined us on Saturday August 14th to celebrate our plaque unveiling.

It was wonderful to meet so many of the families who have shared their stories.  A special thanks goes out to the McArthur family, our neighbourhood tour guide Darlene Erskine and Len Woodnutt for bringing out his fantastic restored car!

We took some photos – http://picasaweb.google.com/uglyshirt/WartimeHouses?feat=directlink and if you have any photos that you took, we’d love to add them to our site.

There are also a couple great stories in the St.Catharines Standard – http://www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2714578 and http://www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2713826.

August 14th Celebration

We just wanted to let everyone know that the celebration plans are coming along.  We have some fun surprises and are looking forward to meeting and seeing everyone.  One request, there is no seating at the Wood and Carlton end of Lancaster Park so, if you can , please bring a lawn chair so you can sit back, relax and enjoy the celebration.

The Zaluskis – 45 Sandown St.

We have added another story to our families section. This story comes from Eleanor Zaluski who lived at 54 Sandown St.
