Recent donation to the HM by Mike Bourrie:  watch clock and watch clock station used at the Simcoe Elevator in Midland. The watch clock had to be wound each Saturday.  The guard would move to various watch stations throughout the elevator and key in on a time schedule.  The key activated a record in the watch clock.  Mike Bourrie worked at the elevator from 1966 to Feb. 1994 when the elevator was torn down.

On Oct. 10, HM will host a reception for the Atlantic Challenge organizing committee. This reception is not open to the public. What is open to the public is the event itself, July 2010, the Atlantic Challenge, a series of boat competitions involving 16 teams from 13 countries including: Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Great Britain, Indonesia, Ireland, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Italy, Russia, and the USA.
