Community Recognition Program. Barbara Verney was co-founder of the BWG Local History Group. Through her involvement with the Group, the Town's HEART Committee, IODE and Gwillim Group, she helped organize walking tours of historic Bradford, bus tours of the Holland Marsh, displays on the anniversary of Hurricane Hazel, and the installation of the statue of Elizabeth Gwillim Simcoe and historic plaque in Bradford during the Sesquicentennial. She was the Town's Co-ordinator for the Bicentennial of Yonge St. in 1996, and has won numerous awards for her community involvement and voluntarism. Mayor Doug White Called George Jackson the "godfather of BWG history." Also a founder of the BWG Local History Group, Jackson is a volunteer, an historian, and an author.
