Although starting tomorrow we are closed for a much needed holiday break after a long year, you can still bring us your snowflake donations by putting them in our mail slot at the front door of our building... A reminder that your snowflake can be any design and colour, write your name on it if you’d like or make yours unique so you can find it in the exhibit!

The 49th Regiment & the Early Days of Fort St. Joseph. In a previous post we looked at Bill Ross and how he made us familiar with the 49th Field Regiment Pipe & Drums. The 49th has a long-standing history to the area that dates back to the days of Fort St. Joseph before the War of 1812.

Women & the Sinter Plant during WW2. A small community was built around the sinter plant, of the Algoma Ore Properties, in the Wawa area, thusly named Sinterville. The plant was near the Wawa railway station on the A.C.R. Michipicoten branch line and was in operation just before the second world war. Though most of the workforce, being men, were involved with the war efforts, this plant continued its operation hiring women to fill the positions needed.
