Letters to the Editor One is that it originated in London, Ontario, in 1856, as a mid-summer break. Other municipalities were quick to copy the idea of a holiday. Another story is that it originated in 1871 when Toronto Mayor Joseph Sheard introduced the idea of a special sum- She's sad that student mer holiday on the first Monday of August to be known as Civic Holiday as a tribute to civic workers.

Interlaced with Aurora residents, this is the 2003 edition of the Canadian Moose hockey team that just returned from a three-week adventure in New Zealand and Australia. And they brought back the Silver Cup, having defeated the New Zealand Olympic National Team in two of four games, and tying a third. Forty-two hockey players from Aurora and area made the trip. Organizer and Hall of Famer Mark Sadgrove is standing at left. We're not sure how he convinced a bunch of grown men and women to don their hockey equipment and sit on a rickety dock, but obviously, he did. Next year will mark the 15th anniversary of the Moose trek to New Zealand, an adventure that is open to hockey players of all You Never Know abilities. When You’ll Need It!
