4qFtEY CENTRAL STUDENTS
LEARN ABOUT ONTARIO
RURAL LIVING 100 YEARS AGO
Wkat wa1 life like in a rural
"Ontario 'Village 100 years ago?
Fortaefour Students of the
'Grade 8 class of Grey Central
School found out June 9th when
they visited historic Black creek
Pioneer Village with their teacher,
Mr. Axtmann.
Black Creek is a living link
'with our ;pre-Confederation herit-
age, where a visitor can exper-
ience the same eights, sounds
and smells that, made up a typieal
cross-roads ccennietitY more than
'a century ago.
The Grey °Waal Scboel,
a-tridents saw how the theme of
the "living" village is maintained
at Pioneer Village through cost-
ae:lied villagers and artisans who
perform typical pioneer living
tasks such ea baking cookies and
bread, Spinning and weaving,
blackeenithing and many others
•on a, day to day basis.
Nucleus of the Village is the
"Stong farm of five log buildings
standing on their original sites,
just as they were prior to 1832.
Among the hniblitigs that can be
visited, are included a general
store, 'clinrch, school, harness
shop, Inn, flour mill, town hall,
:printing office, and, fire house.
'There is also an outdoor bake
oven and flourishing herb garden.
Also a vital part of the Black
Creek Pioneer Village atmosphere
are the various types of livestock
-and poultry which were found In
any pioneer settlement. These in-
clude rare Brahma and Cochin
ehickens - authentic pioneer
breeds which are now almost
lextinct as well as Pilgrim,
Chinese and Canada geese, var-
ious species of ducks and 20
'Guinea fowl. Visitors can also see
'oxen, pigs, shee,p, cattle and
horses.
In addition to the other attract-
ions, visitors can tour the Dalziel
Barn Museum, a huge, cantilever
barn built In 1809, which contains
the largest collection of 19th
century toys in. Canda, a sugar
bush display, flax processing, a
woodworking shop and a cooper's
shop.
Located at Jane St. and Steeles
Ave. in northwest Metro Toronto,
Mack Creek is being developed
by the Metropolitan Toronto and
Region Conservation Authority
as an educational and tourist
facility. Since it opened in 1957
more than 1,850,000 people have
seen this remarkable recreation
et pre 1867 life.
Each year in addition to the
regular visitors who tour thie
pioneer community, thousands of
philtiren come in class groups to
obtain an authentic picture of
pioneer life as it was lived in
Upped Canada during the 19th
pentury.
Black Creek is open to visitors

1 entv'e exhinined the 1970 financial statements of the
Corporation of the .Village of Wessels. and its local boards,
which are listed on the attached Index. My examination in-
cluded a general review of the accounting procedures and
such tests of Accounting. records and other supporting. evidence
as I considered necessary in the cireumstances.
In my opinion these financial statements present faitile
the financial position of the Corporation of the VilliaN of
Brussels and its local boards as at December 31st, 1070, acid
the results of their operations for the year then elided, in
accordance with accounting principles :genera.), accepted for
Ontario municipalities oh 're buis consistent with that
