DID YOU KNOW: (\.~ The author and origin of the Institute Ode are unknown. It is reported that it was used by the " Sons of Temperance, Lodge in Stroud, Simcoe County in the late 1870s. MARY STEWART, author of the Collect, was born in 1876, in the State of Ohio, and moved with her parents to Georgetown, Colorado when quite young. She wrote the collect as a prayer for the day, and later in 1904 she offered it for publication. It was first printed in the "Delineator" a women' s magazine nationally popular at the time. Miss Stewart called it a "Collect for Club Women, because she felt that women working together with wide interests for large ends was a new thing. While visiting in England, she spent some time with Mrs. Alfred Watt, president of the Associated Country Women of the World. In the studio of Robin Watt, the artist son of Mrs. Watt, Miss Stewart personally supervised his work of copying out the prayer.

  • Searching for Greens at the Time of Peter Robinson
    Searching for Greens at the Time of Peter Robinson By Alison Hare, CG Language that appears precise and transparent can actually mask meaning. Unlocking the truth in perplexing documents requires scrupulous attention to the full range of genealogical standards. wo references to a son, two distinct clues to his identity. John Green's petition for land in Upper Canada's Huntley Township was bursting with genealogical promise. Clearly worded and legibly penned, it plantedT a figurative finger firmly on the map, marking the spot where the son would be found. Auguring equally well foran open-and-shut identification, the petition disclosed that John's son had immigrated to Canada with a well-known and well-documented group of settlers. The petition's failure to mention the son's name seemed a minor inconvenience. Thus begins a memorable lesson about how historical documents can mislead and baffle researchers, especially when they fail to probe deeply. THE PROBLEM The scene is set "at the time" of the Peter Robinson settlers. 1 Brought to Canada fromCounty Cork, Ireland, in 1823, these571 men, women, and children have been known ever since by the name of the official who supervised their relocation. Acting for the British government, the Honorable Peter Robinson 2 arranged free passage, provisions, and land for the settlers. The liberally funded program offered escape from poverty, famine, and civil disturbances in Ireland. Though he wanted to, John Green was unable to accompany the group. "His son," however, came out "at that time" to Canada. John later immigrated on his own and on 9 July 1836 petitioned to purchase one hundred acres ofland in Huntley Township, a property of interest to him because it lay "in the immediate vicinity of his sons location."3 What was the son's name? © Alison Hare, co; 80 Valley Ridge Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K2E 7W4; [email protected].

Only Council has the authority to establish new chapters, combine existing chapters, suspend and/or dissolve any chapter, define and alter the boundaries of the areas of chapters. What are the current boundaries? • The Regional Councillors Committee established a Chapter Boundary Task Force (CBTF) on August 28, 2005, with the intent to take on a comprehensive review of the current chapter boundaries and to bring the definitions of chapters and regions up-to- date. • The goal of the project was to provide clear, identifiable boundary descriptions for the chapters and their grouping into the five regions in Ontario. • These regions are set out in section 4 and 5 of Regulation 941/90, and their areas are described below: Western – Includes all that part of Ontario lying south and west of a line drawn as follows: Beginning at the Canada-United States border at the Town of Fort Erie on the Niagara River, north along the Niagara River to the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake on the shoreline of Lake Ontario; then west along the shoreline of Lake Ontario to the boundary between the City of Burlington and the Town of Oakville; then north along that boundary to its northern end; continuing north along the same line to Highway 407; then west on Highway 407 to Halton Regional Road 5; continuing west along Halton Regional Road 5 to the western boundary of The Regional Municipality of Halton; then north along that boundary to Highway 401; then east on Highway 401
