development of the County of Kent, Ontario By Kent Historical Society 1939. Commemorative
Biographical Record of the County of Kent, Ontario These are extracts from this

Some fun facts about how folk know if they live

Canada By J. A. MacDonell (1983). This is a most interesting book as it
covers the Glengarry settlement in Scotland and then moves to
the USA where we read about the settlers that were forced to
leave there due to the war of independence. It then goes onto
Canada where they settled and were also involved in the war
between the USA and Canada.

As the centre of the amalgamated township of Greater Napanee, the

Cobalt is considered the home of the Canadian mining
industry. After years of shrinking economic opportunities, resource
exploitation seems poised to once again be a major employer as a new
refinery struggles to get off the ground. Hamilton
Toronto has always cast a long shadow on the city of Hamilton,
Ontario, for a number of reasons: it's bigger, it's more
economically successful, and people want to live there. But times
are changing. Young people seeking opportunities are priced out of
T.O., and Hamilton is proving to be the place that can provide them
with both affordable housing as well as opportunity. Hamiltonians
want us to know that great things come in mid-sized packages, too. North Buxton
The village of North Buxton was settled in 1849 by a white
Presbyterian minister and a small group of formerly enslaved people.
Once a thriving Black community, its population has gradually shrunk
to less than 200, but its history is more relevant than ever as a
new generation leads the way. Stratford
The city of Stratford is best known for its Shakespeare theatre
festival. When the pandemic forced the cancellation of the 2020
season, throwing thousands of people out of work, the city's
prescient policy of pursuing high tech opportunities helped keep the
lights on. History of the County of Perth
