Some time ago a non-profit and unofficial photo group was set up on the photo sharing community of FLICKR. Flickr has photos posted by amateur photographers from around the world.

This particular group has over 200 photographs of historic sites and scenes in Huronia.  You are welcome to view them by following the link below.

As of October 4, 2008 11 people belong to the group. It does not cost anything to join the group. To upload photos to flickr you need an account, a PC, internet connection, and the photos must belong to you.

P.S. as I understand it, pro level membership to flickr comes as part of the basic membership for people who pay for a Rogers email account.

“The Sea Cadet Years on Georgian Bay”

Meet the Author, Bornnie Rourke, who has been working for several years with former Sea Cadets from the 1940s and 1950s, who attend Princess Alice and Queen Elizabeth Camps on Minnicognashene and Beausoleil Islands. Their stories are very interesting pertaining to military training and life on Georgian Bay for nearly 11,000 cadets. A DVD will be presented by Bonnie as well as Midland Sea Cadets will be on hand to provide colour and naval league flavour to the celebration. The book will retail for $45.00 and will be another outstanding contribution to the history of Georgian Bay, its people and communities.

2.00pm – 4.30 pm at the Museum
