Canadians Role in the Civil War
Sep. 26, 2017
Canadians in the American Civil WarMike was born and raised in Burlington but has lived in Norfolk County most of his life. He has lived in Waterford since 2007. His interest in the American Civil War goes back to the age of 10 or 11 when he read an article in National Geographic magazine about the Battle of Gettysburg. After seeing the classic fold-out maps accompanying that article, Mike was hooked. He still has that same magazine. Over the years he has toured many Civil War sites across the eastern United States with a special interest in how the topography affected the battles. Towards that end Mike can often be found tromping across fields and climbing over fences on various battlegrounds. He is a member of the Toronto Civil War Round Table where he has presented on two occasions. He is a member of The Friends of Gettysburg a group dedicated to preserving the battlefield, and does volunteer work there with the National Park Service. |

Polio Surviour
Feb. 27, 2018
Doug will be speaking to us about his personal experience with Polio... I was born in Hagersville and raised on a farm outside Jarvis. I attended Hagersville High School then on to Seneca College in Toronto, graduating in 1974 with a Resource Management Technology diploma. I was employed at Bell Canada in the Outside Plant Engineering Department and spent almost 31 years in various management positions ending as a Senior Project Manager. I was offered and accepted early retirement package Dec 2002 and have spent my retirement working in the civil construction industry, and volunteering in the community on various non-profit organizations. Currently I am an elder of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Hagersville, a board member of the Grand Erie Business Centre which provides funding and support for small businesses in Haldimand and West Lincoln and I am also a board member on the South and Metcalfe Non-Profit Housing Corporation which includes Quetzal Family Homes, an entity that provides safe accommodations and programs for women and children escaping family violence. Together with another person, I organize and run a popular community badminton club in Hagersville High School. I have been involved in the political arena and ran as a Liberal candidate in the 1999 Provincial election. I have participated in two overseas missions- one with Habitat for Humanity in Honduras and one with Medical Ministry International helping with eye surgeries in Ethiopia. I have also been a past member of the Haldimand Hydro board before it was sold to Ontario Hydro. I have a blended family with my wife Flora. Together, we have five adult children: two of whom are in Ontario, one in Alberta, one in BC along with two grandsons and one in the UK with a grand-daughter. Between spending as much time as we can with our children and grand-children, we also spend a significant amount of time with our elderly fathers. Family is important to us.
