SMALL TOWN CANADA

All across our nation are the small towns with history, friendly people, good food and local events which are fun and sometimes quaint. We can be taken to another time with modern amenities. The buildings are often preserved to reflect the early pioneers who populated the area with hints and art from our indigineous people.

Day trips in and around any large centre or a trip across the nation will reveal these towns. Why are you waiting? Get out there and visit these communities and be prepared to learn, enjoy and perhaps find a regular place to visit!

ADM ADOLPH'S INITIALS

Do you ever travel and find your name or initials in print. Adolph's initials in Montreal. There was a Barb Road in Vanhill Ontario. In downtown Toronto- Ellis Ave that may have been named after the Ellis branch of my family. Sonya, Ontario- same spelling as my daughter Sonya. Have you found streets or towns or areas with your name?

COWS IN A FIELD

Remind us of time many people lived on farms. Although there still are rural communities today, most of

us live in urban settings in Canada. The need to go to a country setting is reflected in the number of people that own cottages or a sailboat to leave the city and enjoy country living periodically. Small towns on the edge of big cities are the best of both worlds but can be stressful if a long commute is involved for work every day. My family has country roots in Ontario then in the early 1900's family members moved to Toronto. Do you live in the country or city? If you could would you have a country home? Or are you a city person?
