Municipality : Community : Bradford West Gwillimbury Lot : Concession : Description : You'd be hard pressed to find two people who have shown their love for Bradford West Gwillimbury more than George Jackson and Barbara Verney over the past 20-plus years. The duo were recognized by the Ontario Heritage Trust for their hard work preserving and commemorating the history of the town at a town council meeting, where they each received recognition. Ms Verney received a certificate of achievement through the 2008 Heritage Community Recognition Program for her outstanding volunteer contributions. In 1990, Ms Verney put her love for the town front and centre when she volunteered as secretary at the first meeting to organize the Bradford West Gwillimbury Local History Association. Two years later, she became president of the association and continued in that role until the end of 2008. She has received recognition for her volunteer work in the past, including a provincial award for volunteers older than 65 in 2002. Much like Ms Verney, Mr. Jackson has been busy doing his part to help preserve the heritage of Bradford West Gwillimbury. In 1987, when he was a member of the Bradford Library building committee, he promoted the inclusion of a local history room. In 1990, he was founding president of the Bradford West Gwillimbury Local History Association. For three years in the late 1990s, Mr. Jackson worked with two architects to compile background information for the book, Inventory of Historic Buildings in Bradford, Ontario. For this work and much more, Mr. Jackson received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Ontario Heritage Trust.
