  Firstly a sincere thank you to Hazel and Martin for hosting our August picnic. Again the threat of a weather situation was evident but fortunately the clouds held and we had a most enjoyable evening.

  A new season arrives and we look forward to starting up our small group dinners again. As always our get togethers will be on the 4th Thursday of the month and will be hosted by our members in their private homes in groups of 6, 8 or 10 as space allows. The role of the host is to provide the venue and the main course with appropriate table settings and the guests will provide the appetizers, salad or perhaps a vegetable dish and dessert of their choice as requested by the host.

  The guests will, as always, provide their beverage of choice.

  Please note that we will not have a dinner in October as the date conflicts with the anniversary celebration. Have a good time at the anniversary celebration.

  Don and I have been asked to lead the cycle again along the Tay Shore Rail Trail as some members of our group were unable to participate in the June ride. This is a scenic easy ride which hugs the shore of Georgian Bay. We will cycle from Sainte-Marie among the Hurons (Brebeuf Event Centre) to Waubaushene and return (33 km). It is an effortless ride along a paved flat trail with only one or two small hills. After our ride we will plan lunch at the Boathouse Eatery in Midland (177 Kings St.- 705-242-2428). In June we had a very enjoyable ride and lunch.

  Speaker:   Joan Knighton
  Topic:  British Home Children—The Almost Forgotten Children

  Joan Knighton is a former teacher, nurse and ortho tech and a proud descendant of a British Home Child. She has previously written and published her father's story. In her retirement she loves presenting this important, but often little known, part of Canadian history. She feels that she honours her Dad and all the children each time she presents.

  Joan will present the history of the British Child Migrant Scheme, which spanned eight decades. More than 100,000 children of all ages were sent by ship to Canada, where many became indentured farm or domestic workers until the age of 18. She will cover why, how and the outcome of the system that gave us The British Home Children.
