Times Advocate, 1994-7-6, Page 19Heritage Day celebrates the past in village Grand Bend now has a historic plaque GRAND BEND - Loreen Gill and Catherine Junker came dressed for the occasion. Wearing there best turn -of -the - century dresses they fit right in with the Heritage Day celebration held Sunday afternoon in Grand Bend. Held at the corner of Alberta and River Road, over a hundred people came out to remember the cut in the river which help put GYand Bend on the map. There was a tug-of-war which saw the Stephen Township council beat their counterparts from Grand Bend but when the final grunt could be heard, it was thc Blue - water Sodbusters winning it all. An ice cream eating contest, bar- ber shop singing and antique cars were part of the show. While a Ideal committee was in charge of the day's activities, it was the Grand Bend Women's Institute which was instrumental in bringing the historical plaque to the village. In her address to the crowd, Gill, a member of the local Women's In- stitute pointed out what her group is all about. "The members have focused on raising the living standards and health of people in Grand Bend;" said Gill. Grand Bend's WI started back in April, 1945 and Gill said in 1985, eight of the local ladies were given pins for 25 years or more service. Looking back, times have changed: "In 1947 hobby fairs were very interesting. You could get two sandwiches for ten cettts-;. said Gill. Getting a heritage plaque is no easy task, the people in Grand Bend had to work hard for four years to have their historical con- tribution recognized by the Ontario Heritage Federation. Members of the Heritage Day organizing committee, above, unveil the historic plaque. Right, Grand Bend councillors Phil Maguire, Bill Uniac, Cam Ivey and Ed Fluter give it their all in the tug-of-war. "The plaques are difficult to get. It goes through a competition. It has to be on a subject of provincial significance," said Paul Liu of the Ontario Heritage Foundation. Usually only about five go up across the province but Litt said this year there -are more. • "This year 10 are going up. The norm from now on will be five. The backlog is being retired," said Lilt.
