The reunion, held in Holrnesville, saw close to 80 members of the mens' choral group gather for a meal and special presenta- tions by local dignitaries. Before the festivities, all the members present got together for this group photo that takes in four decades on harmonizing. (Rob Bundy photo) Harmony at its best! Harbouraires have entertained When George Buchanan returned from the Second World War, his ambition was to organize a men's choral group. This was inspired by listening to several m"en'sgroups while serving overseas., Thus, in 1947 a choir was organized. One of the first considerations was to decide on a name. Since the organizing meetings and practices were mostly held at Sky Harbour Airport through the generosity of one of the members, it seem- ed that the name "Harbouraires" would be for 40 years YOUR FIRST CHOICE FOR FASHION Thanksgiving Sale 3 DAYS ONLY ....

After afire destroyed the hangar at Sky Harbour. Airport, practices were hell at_ North Street United Church and now this past number of years at Knox Presbyterian Church. About 1954, the Harbouraires were in- vited by the Schneider Orpheus Choir to join the Amalgamated Male Chorus of On- tario which is affiliated with the Amalgamted Male Choruses to America. The A.M.C.A. motto is "Good Singin, Good Fellowship and Public Service." The first "Big Sing" in which they par- ticipated was an International one of 750 voices held in the Kitchener Auditorium on May 18, 1957. The experience resulted in them hosting a "Big Sing" in the spring of 1958 at Goderich District Collegiate Auditorium. The following year (1959), a "Big Sing" was held in Massey Hall, Toronto, hosted by The Queensmen. Over the years, many other '`Big Sings" have been attended in London, Port Huron, Detroit, Hamilton, Brantford, Niagara Falls, Cambridge -Waterloo, and the New York World's Fair in 1964. The largest "Big Sing" attended was an International one held at Grand Rapids, Michigan, on April 23, 1983, in which over 2,000 singers participated. This was sponsored by the Schubert Club, Grand Rapids on the occa- sion of their 100 years of co-operation. The Schubert Club is considered to be ' the oldest independent male chorus in America. The Harbouraires hosted further "Big Sings" in the spring of 1979 at Knox Church and in the fall of 1982 at Goderich District Collegiate Auditorium. To commemorate their 40th year, a "Big Sing" was held April 26, 1986, at the Goderich District Col- legiate Auditorium. .
