(Submitted photos) The Bluewater Community Development Foundation (BCDF) recently donated $3,000 toward three worth causes in the Municipality of Bluewater. "The foundation is happy to be able to provide grants to area projects that will benefit the residents of Bluewater," said Heather Redick, acting chair of the Foundation, who announced the grants at the Bluewater Municipal Office in Zurich on Dec. 30. The BCDF donated $1,000 to assist with the construction of the Zurich Walking Trail. An unused wooded area adjacent to the community park was identified as a location for a natural walking trail. Residents and visitors alike could make use of this trail. This idea came as a result of the Hensall/Zurich Business Retention and Expansion Study of 2011. Eventually this trail will be tied in with a Heritage trail in the village, highlighting both natural and cultural features of Zurich. Mark Cassidy and Steve Haberer accepted the donation on behalf of the trail committee.

PHOTO STORY BAYFIELD HISTORICAL SOCIETY MEMBERS TO ENJOY FIRST LOOK AT NEW HERITAGE CENTRE PHOTOS BY GARY LLOYD-REES The Bayfield Historical Society (BHS) will hold its Annual General Meeting on Jan. 27 at noon at St. Andrew's United Church. Members will no doubt look back on a very busy year with pride as a highlight of the afternoon will be a tour of their new Heritage Centre and Archives. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week04lssue238/tabid/652/Default.aspx 4/10 5/31/2019 week 04 Issue 238 Even the "lawn ornaments" got a fresh coat of paint due to the efforts of such volunteers as, Dave Gillians, who helped the Bayfield Historical Society with their extreme makeover on the old library building at the end of June 2013. What a lot of hands and a little TLC can do is evident in this picture of the soon to be Bayfield Heritage Centre and Archives. This "after" image was taken at the end of June 2013. After the lunch and AGM business the guest speaker will be Dave Maclaren, chairman of the Bluewater Heritage Advisory Committee. He will speak about the history of local heritage planning, the current committee's various challenges and initiatives within Bluewater. Following the program, attendees will be invited back to the new Heritage Centre and Archives on Main Street to see the major changes that have taken place to the old library and archives space. For the past 35 years the BHSs Archives has been housed in the front room at 20 Main Street North in the village. On June 1, 2013 the BHS signed a 10 -year lease to expand back into the old library space at the back of the building. The lease is for $1 per year with BHS paying all annual utility costs. Bluewater is contributing $30K spread over six years to assist BHS with capital upgrades. The society has moved all of its archival records into the old library space thus leaving the front room available for its new role as a Heritage Centre. To realize this move major exterior and interior renovations were completed over the past few months relying on volunteers and local trades. Preparing to do some demolition in the interior of the old library building are I -r: Bill Rowat, Phil Gemeinhardt and Dave Gillians. During the month of June, volunteer work parties scraped and painted the exterior of the building. The old roof was re -shingled. For better drainage, trenches were dug along each wall and filled with river stone. During July and August renovations were undertaken to the interior old library space including, the removal of the inside entrance walls. In addition a new floor was laid, walls repaired and painted, new ceiling tiles, insulation and shelving installed plus a washroom was removed to enlarge the back storage area. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/weekO4lssue238/tabid/652/Default.aspx 5/10 5/31/2019 week 04 Issue 238 The old library building is ready for some paint. There was a big turnout of volunteers to scrape the exterior of the old library on the morning of June 12, 2013. There were so many people that, what was projected to take a full day, took only two hours. In the fall, the interior of the front room became the focus for renovations. A new floor was laid and the walls were completely repainted in heritage colors. The old cupboards were replaced with 12 new display stations. The room was rewired with 15 new outlets for display monitors. "The new Heritage Centre will be a place where Bayfield's unique stories will be displayed and celebrated — the tales that distinguish the village from others," said Bill Rowat, president of the BHS. The Archives has thousands of images of old Bayfield, many wonderful artifacts as well as colorful articles and stories that have been written over the years about events and characters in the village. "The challenge for the Historical Society will be to create engaging exhibits to capture the interest and imagination of visitors and residents," Rowat added. The new Heritage Centre has been designed with ten "stations" around the perimeter of the room and an open display area in the centre so that the village's stories and history can be presented around artifacts, paintings, and with short two - minute videos, which Past President Dave Gillians is producing with the help of some highly skilled directors and editors. While the main purpose of the room is for historical displays and exhibits, some limited space will be dedicated to the sale of BHS publications and prints as well as a rack for current tourist information about the village. It is the goal of the BHS to have the Heritage Centre fully operational before the summer season when it will be open seven days per week during July and August. "The new Heritage Centre and Archives will be one of the main attractions on the Village's Heritage Main Street," said Rowat. "Much appreciation to the volunteers, tradesmen, financial donors and the municipality, all of whom contributed to the restorations over the past months." cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week04lssue238/tabid/652/Default.aspx 6/10 5/31/2019 week 04 Issue 238 For better drainage, trenches were dug along each wall of the old library and archives building and filled with river stone.

BAYFIELD tF The exterior of the Bayfield Archives and especially the section known as the "old library" has gotten a facelift thanks to the efforts of countless volunteers enlisted by the Bayfield Historical Society (BHS), the new owners and caretakers of this building.
