residents Of Goderich Township have been left with a rich legacy by the p(oneer
families who settled and cleared tbearea so many years ago.
Itis necessary to be familiar with one's background and history in order to appreciate and
Comprehend existing conditions. The residents of Goderich Township have researched and
doctunented the history of the township and its people with commendable accuracy in its
first history book. A second volume is now in the works.
The research and subsequent publication of historic material has put the township in
touch with its roots and beginnings. It has given the people a new sense of perspective.
The year of celebration has already been an active one and will culminate with the week-
long celebrations July 15-21. There have been many activities leading up to the celebrations
and more will follow through the balance of the 1-5-0 year.
But many people have worked long and arduous hours in preparation for this gala
celebration. In fact, the work began years ago.
That the township could produce such a fine history book and organize such an ambitious
program of events over an entire years speaks well of its citizenry. They were organized,
they worked and they are to be commended.
1 Many former Goderich Township citizens will be back for the celebrations, acquaintances
and friendships will be renewed, there will be memories and there will be good times.
From the staging of the farm show, sports activities, barbeques, variety shows, the
parade, reunions, displays and tours to the quiet times, the week-long celebration in
Goderich Township promises to be a good time.
To the people of Goderich Township we wish you a most succesful and memorable
celebration.
