Trafalgar Township Historical Society "Documenting, celebrating and preserving the agricultural heritage of North Oakville" Fall Newsletter 2013 michelle@tths.ca 905-257-9080 2431 Dundas Street W. Board Report Lorne Joyce passed away on August 24th, 2013. Lorne has been an author, a speaker and a supporter of TTHS. We are thankful for the legacy he leaves but sorry to have to say good-bye! We are happy to announce that we will be receiving a Trillium grant to host grade three classrooms at the schoolhouse. We will be hiring a teacher to begin the program in the new year. If you know of anyone who would be interested in this part time position of 1 to 2 days a week please contact us. Our school house still looks very much the same as it did in this old photo. The main difference is that the road looks to be about 12 feet farther from the schoolhouse than it is now. You may have noticed some survey markers at your last visit. The road is about to get closer to the school house and a 1.5 meter sidewalk is to be added in front. We have been assured that the school will be protected through this construction. It will decrease our parking area by about 4 spots so we will need to talk to the town about increasing our parking area next year. Annual General Meeting Our Annual Meeting where we elect our board, review the year and look forward to the year ahead will be on Tuesday, February 25th. We are in need of at least two new board members. Please consider joining the board. Contact Michelle if you would like to learn more about the commitment. michelle@opnc.ca Heritage Fair Our Heritage Day, held in September 28th attracted forty three people to the Palermo School House.
