    © Copyright 2009 Brampton Library Acknowledgements Through Our Eyes – History, Community, and Diversity is a project designed to document Brampton’s local history through the eyes of the people who have lived it and are living it still. In this booklet, seniors share their memories of growing up in Brampton, or moving here from near or far away. They talk about the changes they have seen over the years, and of the highlights that stand out most in their recollections. From floods to flowers, Dick Smith’s pond to the Brampton Mall, from fishing to tobogganing – the stories are here. Brampton Library would like to thank all of the authors who submitted their stories for inclusion in this book, as well as all of the seniors who told their stories on camera in the Through Our Eyes video interviews, which are available through Brampton Library as well as being viewable online (for more information see www.bramptonlibrary.ca). Special thanks go to Brampton Library staff members Pam Martin and Elizabeth Patterson, and to the volunteer project committee for their contributions: Swetha Christabel, Everton Dixon, Tristan Irvine, Francine Labelle, Vera Macdonald, Saniya Tariq and Madonna Vas Rodrigues.
