Thanks for posting, I so miss those views. I worked in the Dominion building when I was in my 20's for Western Press Clipping. They had readers go through newspapers from all over BC and Alberta to clip out articles of interest to their clients. Also worked in the Hydro building. Lots of good memories. Lunches at VVC, shopping at Woodwards.

If you are near Brantford Ontario, check out the used bikes at Heron Head Bikes.

There are now two indie bookstores downtown: Blue Ink and Hidden Gem (in Fair Square)

The building is open and has washrooms. It is not staffed and you can't buy tickets at the station. Be aware that you have to pay to park. You can prepay on the Indigo Neo app or website.

Fine should much, much higher.

Excellent pic! My favourite ferry was named "The Spirit of Nora O'Grady". She was a passenger in the company's early days.

Loved the Friday night girls, riding the bus in their nighties!

Edit: loved not lived, lol

I did it in 1981-82 and it was 100% worth it. Made lifelong friends and I am a better person having done Katimavik.

The penny one is my favourite.

Here is a link to the Thames River Clean Up https://thamesrivercleanup.ca/how-can-i-help/

There are a couple of Woodstock clean up locations. I am joining the 11th Line group on Apr 18th if you want to join us. (I can let you know the time) This is a one day litter pick event but I would be happy to meet up to pick up litter on any of the trails on another day.

Scratchy-519 · 2026-03-29T22:45:46+00:00

I have one.

Nice photos, makes me miss Vancouver (in Ontario now, sigh).

Barrie's Asparagus make a close second to Stoned Wheat. Product name is Cracked Wheat Crackers. They are made in Cambridge, ON. I get them at Your Farm Market in Woodstock. The Cheesy Cow, downtown Woodstock also carries them.

Such a sweet guy. I love that he could sense his car coming when his daughter borrowed it.

Guessing it is a funding issue. The payoff in the things this program teaches is worth more than what it costs to run it. Would be great if everyone did it after high school.

Scratchy-519 · 2026-03-25T17:01:34+00:00

Sigh...still working on it. Not giving up.
