Jim Carr, who passed away suddenly on June 3, 2014, some time back helped us to identify the make of the motorcycle – a Henderson – in a 1927 photo taken by the radial railway bridge at Etobicoke Creek. We’re assuming it was taken in 1927 because, as Mike James of Brampton has pointed out, […]
I’ve recently posted a blog item for the Toronto Walks Blog of the Jane’s Walk website. I’ve enjoyed writing this item, because it enables a person to consider the broader issues of interest to anybody who lives close to the Lake Ontario shoreline – in Mississauga, Toronto, or anywhere else along this or any other […]
I was delighted to view an archival aerial photo that Peter Halliday has let us know about, in a comment at a previous post about Raimbault Creek in Cartierville. One of the delightful features of the creek was that, at least in some sections, it was left free to meander, as contrasted to being channelized. […]
Our May 4, 2014 Jane’s Walk in Long Branch went beautifully – as has been the case with each of our Jane’s Walks in this neighbourhood in South Etobicoke on the Lake Ontario shoreline starting with the first one on May 6, 2012. This year the conversational element was even more a central feature of […]
Mike James and Jaan Pill are now in their third year of organizing Jane’s Walks in Long Branch (Toronto not New Jersey). The Saturday, May 3, 2014 Jane’s Walk began at our usual time and location – at 10:30 am at the East Parking Lot at Marie Curtis Park. The walk was called Inspiration Lakeview: […]

Here’s the text (see below). It will serve as a reminder to mark the date in your 2014 schedule book! Name of […]
As I’ve explained at a Comment in another post, I did an interview on Oct. 18, 2013 with Bernice Law (nee Butterfield), who was born in 1924 and lived at 86 Forty First Street, at a house that her father built. I’ve done several previous interviews with her. Now that I’m getting up to speed […]
With regard to the Small Arms Doors Open, I was delighted to learn recently that Eric Walters has written several books for young readers dealing with Canada’s role in the Second World War. I’ve known of Eric Walters for some time. He made one or more presentations at Munden Park Public School in Mississauga during […]
Pecha Kucha is a presentations format in which 20 slides are screened at the rate of 20 second per slide. I like this format because it keeps presentations brief and to the point. When I began to work on a recent Pecha Kucha presentation for a Jane’s Walk event, I calculated that I’m looking at […]
