Marooned cars, zig-zagged across Yonge St. at Fennell Corners, made it tough for snowplows. First through on stretch between Bradford and Barrie, bucked drifts and a 40-mph blizzard for more then eight hours. But Ontario's drifts are comparative molehills to Saskatchewan's mountains.

Municipality : Community : Bradford West Gwillimbury Lot : Concession : Description : There comes a time with every project when the decision is made that this is the end. The first chapter of the History of West Gwillimbury - WEGWHIST project - is off to the printer, and we have 2 other chapters almost ready to send. We have other chapters that still need some work, but we will be using only material at hand. This means the end of our research. We thank the many who provided a story and pictures of their families, unfortunately that did not provide us with a story, and thus there will be no mention of them in the families chapter. The West Gwillimbury History project is a volunteer effort, involving a team with a variety of skills and talents who have written, photographed, organized, arrange, edited and prepared the book for the printer.
Municipality : Community : Bradford West Gwillimbury Lot : Concession : Description : The WEGWHIST (West Gwillimbury History Project) team is happy to report that significant progress is being made, in the writing of the History of West Gwillimbury Town-ship. During recent after-noon sessions at the Bradford Public Library, the team collected family photo heirlooms to include in the book. The response has been overwhelming. The photos, and the unique stories that seem to accompany them, have provided a new source of information that has been truly inspiring.
