| Ovenden College (1915-1950) | https://www.simcoe.ca/Archives/Pages/Ovenden-College.aspx | 3/27/2023 3:38:15 PM | Ovenden College (1915-1950) | <p><span style="font-size:1em;">Ovenden College was a day and boarding school for girls in Barrie founded by educators Ethel Mary Elgood (ca. 1876-1973), Elizabeth J. Ingram (ca. 1877-1961), and Raina Strangford Shopoff (ca. 1880-1978) from 1915 to its closure in 1950.</span></p><p>Elgood and Ingram were both born in England. Elgood earned her First Class Teaching Diploma in Cambridge, while Ingram received her diploma in Oxford. Shopoff was born in Bulgaria and studied in England and Montmirail, Switzerland. At Havergal College, a girl's school in Toronto, Elgood served as the principal and Shopoff as a teacher.<br></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="/Archives/PublishingImages/985-66-Ovenden-House_E9-B5-R3A-S8-Sh2_1080.jpg" title="The Strathy house: A gabled Victorian mansion with a wrap-around porch" target="_blank"><img src="/Archives/PublishingImages/985-66-Ovenden-House_E9-B5-R3A-S8-Sh2_480.jpg" alt="The Strathy house: A gabled Victorian mansion with a wrap-around porch" style="margin:5px;" /></a><br></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>1985-066, [Photograph of Ovenden], <strong style="text-align:center;">Morton family collection,</strong> ca. 1905.</strong></p><h2>Origins of Ovenden College</h2><p></p><p>In 1915, upon the invitation of Mrs. Daisy Georgina McIntyre Stewart (née Plummer, wife of lawyer Douglas Maxwell Stewart), Elgood, Ingram, and Shopoff arrived in Barrie to establish a school as co-principals in the place of Mrs. Wakefield, a retiring educator who ran a local day school. "Ovenden" was the former Strathy family residence on Blake Street, bequeathed to Gerard Brakenridge Strathy. This house had seen a lot in its time, especially when bank manager John Alexander Strathy (1849-1896) was shot and killed at Ovenden by local citizen Michael Brennan in February 1896.</p><p>Elgood, Ingram, and Shopoff rented Ovenden from G.B. Strathy between 1915 and 1920 before officially purchasing the building for $10,000 in April 1921. The former home served as the "Main House" or "First House" of Ovenden College, while the nearby "Second House," acquired ca. 1929, functioned as the Junior House for younger students. An average of 50 students were enrolled per year between the two houses, with decreased numbers during the war years and the 1930s.</p><p>Both boys and girls between the ages of 4 to 10 could attend Ovenden College as day students, while girls ages 10 to 18 had the option to live at Ovenden College during the school year. Each school year had three terms, starting with the Autumn Term on September 16 until December 25. The Easter Term ran from January 1 to mid-March, and the Summer Term occurred from the end of March to the middle of June.<br></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="/Archives/PublishingImages/981-55_Ovenden-Chronicle-1916_B5-R4B-S8-Sh5_1080.jpg" title="Front page of The "Ovenden" Chronicle, June 1916 with logo in the centre featuring a tree" target="_blank"><img src="/Archives/PublishingImages/981-55_Ovenden-Chronicle-1916_B5-R4B-S8-Sh5_480.jpg" alt="Front page of The "Ovenden" Chronicle, June 1916 with logo in the centre featuring a tree" style="margin:5px;" /></a> <br></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>1981-055, The "Ovenden" Chronicle, June 1916.</strong><br></p><h2>Education<br></h2><p></p><p>In a promotional pamphlet from ca. 1915, Ovenden College is described as a "substitute for a good, continental school [with] great attention being paid to Languages, Music and Singing" (p. 4, 1981-055). The pamphlet also states that the school prepared students for university by encouraging "the development of the girls on simple, healthy lines, both physically and mentally" (p. 5, 1981-055). Advanced courses were offered in scripture, ancient and European history, art history, geography, and literature. Lessons in German and French were also offered.</p><p>Ovenden College had two mottos symbolising its values. "We work not for School, but for Life. We toil not for Time but for Eternity." As described in the first edition of the school's magazine, "The 'Ovenden' Chronicle" from 1916, this motto represents how students "should lay stress on the things that really matter; honest effort, sympathy, honour, right judgement, perseverance, [and] courage" (p. 2). The motto featured on the school's emblem, "Suaviter in Modo, Fortiter in Re" means "Gentle in Manner, Strong in Action," and acted as a code of personal conduct for students ("Ovenden" Chronicle, 1917, p. 7-8).<br></p><h2><strong>Cost</strong><br></h2><p></p><p>As an upper-class institution, the fees required to attend Ovenden College would have been out of reach for some local students. In 1915, enrolling as a day student cost $10.00-$35.00 per term, depending on the student's age, and $0.30 a day for dinner. To understand how much Ovenden College would have cost today, the maximum fee as a day student would have been about $1325.00 per term, adjusted for inflation in 2023 as per the <a href="https://www.bankofcanada.ca/rates/related/inflation-calculator" title="Bank of Canada's Inflation Calculator" target="_blank">Bank of Canada's Inflation Calculator</a>.</p><p>To board at Ovenden College, the entrance fee was a one-term fee of $12.00 and a resident fee of $134.00 per term. The resident fee covered board, residence, general tuition, and a small amount of extra-curricular activities. With three terms, the average Ovenden College attendance fee for one year was about $414.00, not including additional fees for music lessons or specialized courses. To put things into perspective, the annual attendance fee as a boarding student would have been about $10,500 in 2023.<br></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="/Archives/PublishingImages/979-71_Ovenden-College-Veranda_B4-R3B-S3-Sh2_1080.jpg" title="Five women sitting on a veranda, with a dog in the centre, surrounded by vines" target="_blank"><img src="/Archives/PublishingImages/979-71_Ovenden-College-Veranda_B4-R3B-S3-Sh2_480.jpg" alt="Five women sitting on a veranda, with a dog in the centre, surrounded by vines" style="margin:5px;" /></a><br><strong>1979-071, [Ovenden College staff and Michael the dog on the veranda of First House], ca. 1930.</strong></p><h2><strong>Educators</strong><br></h2><p></p><p>Ovenden College was managed by Elgood, Ingram, and Shopoff before more educators joined the staff. These women were active members of their local community. Shopoff, often referred to as Mademoiselle by students, was a member and former president of the Barrie Women's Canadian Club and served as co-director of the East Anglican Mission. Elgood was a member of the Barrie Women's Canadian Club, the Girl Guides, and the Victorian Order of Nurses.</p><p>Other long-term educators at Ovenden College include Florence Biltcliffe, who taught music since 1930, and Rosalind Mackenzie who was the riding instructor from 1932 until the school closed. Elsie Raikes attended Ovenden College and was head girl in 1918 before returning as the History and Latin teacher from 1933 until 1950.<br></p><h2>Michael the Dog</h2><p>Michael John Ovenden was one of the pet dogs at Ovenden College. Referred to as "everybody's pet" in the 1929 "Ovenden" Chronicle, Michael was half-German Shepard and half-Border Collie. Given to the school by Elsie Raikes in 1926, he was frequently mentioned in the "Ovenden" Chronicle through humorous stories and poems, often written from "Michael's" point-of-view. Michael lived for thirteen years before passing in the fall of 1939, clearly beloved by many Ovenden students.<br></p><p><br></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="/Archives/PublishingImages/998-24_Ovenden-College-Girls-Hockey-no-frame-1927_E15-B1-R4A-S2-Sh5_1080.jpg" target="_blank" title="Six girls in uniform holding hockey sticks"><img src="/Archives/PublishingImages/998-24_Ovenden-College-Girls-Hockey-no-frame-1927_E15-B1-R4A-S2-Sh5_480.jpg" alt="Six girls in uniform holding hockey sticks" style="margin:5px;" /></a> </p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>1998-024, Ovenden College girls' hockey team, 1927. The June 1927 “Ovenden" Chronicle, p. 30, lists Mary Morris, Gladys Heward, and Hilda Bacon as forwards, Barbara Scadding and Miriam Bell as defence, and Maud Crouch as the goalie.</strong></p><h2><strong>Extra-Curricular Activities</strong><br></h2><p></p><p>With over four acres of land, Ovenden College had tennis and basketball courts, an orchard, a large garden, gymnasium and playing fields to support its diverse offering of physical activities. During the summer, students would form teams for badminton, basketball, tennis, and golf, as well as ride horses. During the winter, students would join the hockey, skating, skiing, snowshoeing, and tobogganing teams. There were also several student clubs, such as a glee club, debate club, music club, French club, camera club, and field club. Students performed plays and gymnastic routines. An annual Halloween party was held and often featured costumes and theatrical performances.</p><p>The Work Club, or Sewing Club, began during World War I to supply sewn shirts, pajamas, and knitted socks to frontline hospitals as well as French and Belgian orphaned children. Caps, bags, and aprons created by students were sold to raise funds for injured soldiers. Care packages of homemade stockings filled with chocolate, cigarettes, books, and puzzles were supplied to English war hospitals.</p><p>The museum at Ovenden College managed an extensive collection of natural history specimens. Annual lectures were organized as fundraisers. Notable Canadian artist Lawren Harris from the Group of Seven visited Ovenden College in October 1917 to discuss how "art was the expression of each individual mind" ("Ovenden" Chronicle, 1918, p. 4).</p><p>Speech Day was an event held at the end of the summer school term in June. Typically, there would be speeches by Elgood and invited guests, followed by a performance from the school choir or dance club, and prizes awarded for student accomplishments during the year.<br></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="/Archives/PublishingImages/1981-055_Ovenden-Chronicle-1932_B5-R4B-S8-Sh5_1080.jpg" title="Two-page collage of black and white photographs of students riding horses, playing tennis, gardening, and participating in clubs" target="_blank"><img src="/Archives/PublishingImages/1981-055_Ovenden-Chronicle-1932_B5-R4B-S8-Sh5_480.jpg" alt="Two-page collage of black and white photographs of students riding horses, playing tennis, gardening, and participating in clubs" style="margin:5px;" /></a> <br></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>1981-055, The "Ovenden" Chronicle, June 1932, pp. 12-13.</strong></p><p style="text-align:left;"><strong></strong></p><h2>The "Ovenden" Chronicle<br></h2><p>The "Ovenden" Chronicle was an annual magazine summarizing the events of the school year. They contain details of club activities, sports matches, as well as photographs, poetry, and drawings submitted by students. Examination results were also published in the Chronicle, alongside relevant personal and professional updates about alumni, referred to as "Old Girls." The Simcoe County Archives has 34 volumes of the Chronicle from 1916-1945, and 1947-1950.</p><h2><strong>Closure</strong></h2><p></p><p>In 1950, founders Elgood, Ingram, and Shopoff announced their retirement. The school grounds were placed on sale for about $100,000. With no buyer emerging, the school closed in June 1950 after its final Speech Day. Elgood and Ingram returned to England, while Shopoff remained in Barrie. An advertisement from December 21, 1950 in the <em>Barrie Examiner</em> reveals that Ovenden College was remodelled into an apartment building. The Main and Junior Houses of Ovenden College were eventually demolished.</p><p>For 36 years and through two World Wars, Ovenden College educated students academically, artistically, and culturally through its commitment to diverse learning strategies. Gertrude Rhoda Jarvis (née Bird), head girl in 1917-1918, wrote in the final"Ovenden" Chronicle from 1950 that "if we can preserve that teaching, and guard it in the face of inertia and self-seeking, and hand it on intact to the next generation, then we contribute something to the future of Canada, and Miss Elgood, Miss Ingram, and Mlle [Shopoff] will have worked 'not for Time, but for Eternity'" (p. 37).<br></p><p><br><br></p><h2>Works Consulted</h2><p><strong></strong></p><ul><li>Abstract/Parcel Register Book, Simcoe (51), Book 419, Plan 6; South Side Blake Street.

Within the borders of what today is designated Simcoe County, there is a long history of different Indigenous communities coming together at gathering places, trading, farming, fishing, hunting, crafting, and in general participating in community life.

<span class="ms-rteFontSize-2">"Huronia" is an anecdotal name for much of Simcoe County, particularly the area around Midland and Penetanguishene. The name commemorates the history of the Huron-Wendat </span><span style="font-size:1em;">people that made this area their home for a long time. This population was a confederacy of five Iroquoian speaking nations: the Attinniaenten ("people of the bear"), Hatingeenoniahak ("makers o</span><span style="font-size:1em;">f cords for nets"), Arendaenronnon ("people of the lying rock"), Atahonaenrat ("two whit</span><span style="font-size:1em;">e ears" i.e., "deer people" and Ataronchronon ("people of the bog"). The Huron-Wendat h</span><span style="font-size:1em;">ad close alliances with the Petun, Neutral, Odawa, Nipissing and the Algonquin nations. Archaeology across the county has revealed several villages, the locations of whic</span><span style="font-size:1em;">h are shown on a map at the Simcoe County Archives that was drawn by E.H Thom</span><span style="font-size:1em;">as of Collingwood called "Missions to the Hurons." The Huron-Wendat encountered th</span><span style="font-size:1em;">e French in the seventeenth century and, as the name implies, this map also charts th</span><span style="font-size:1em;">e location of several of the missions the French sent into the area. These missions we</span><span style="font-size:1em;">re middle ground areas between North American and European cultures.</span></p><p>
<span class="ms-rteFontSize-2">The Wendat people were decimated by newly introduced diseases in the middle of the seventeenth century and their remaining populations were dispersed by conflict with the Haudenosaunee/Iroquois nations. Archaeology has helped supplement accounts found in the Jesuit Relations, documenting this period of upheaval. At the Archives, researchers can peruse archaeological records in the Ross Channen collection, the Kenneth Kidd collection, the Paul Delaney collection and the Huronia Historic Association collection. The Archives houses archaeological surveys, maps of the region, drawing of archaeological material and archaeological reports published in reputable journals. </span></p><p> </p><p style="text-align:center;">

<span class="ms-rteFontSize-2">Today there are several First Nation communities who reside in Simcoe County. The Beausoleil First Nation is located on Christian, Beckwith and Hope Islands at the south end of Georgian Bay. The Chippewas of Rama First Nation, or Mnjikaning First Nation, are located on the eastern side of Lake Couchiching. Both are communities of mostly Ojibwe peoples, though that is a simplification of the complex political identities of the people who settled in the region in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century after the dispersal of the Wendats. Chief William Yellowhead was one of the "Chiefs of the Lake Simcoe and Huron Chippewa Indians" who lived in the Georgian Bay Islands community, which at one point included Beausoleil Island. After he served with the British in the War of 1812 he settled with his people around Orillia. This group was the foundation of the current community at Rama. John Wallace, visiting the Ojibwe communities during the 1890s and early 1900s, documented some Ojibwe language and customs in his notebooks, kept in the Simcoe County Archives. </span></p><p>
<span class="ms-rteFontSize-2">At the Archives you can look at photographs and documents related to Indigenous life in Simcoe County. For instance, the Archives has a copy of an agreement between the "Chiefs of the Lake Simcoe and Huron Chippewa Indians" and the crown, establishing a Grist Mill at Coldwater for native use, dated to 1834. Farms on the west side of Lake Couchiching, before the land was re-claimed by the crown, could use the mill for their agricultural purposes. Because of their extensive local knowledge, Indigenous men and women have long been employed in the tourism industry, often as guides or as craftspeople. The Christian Island newsletter "Smoke Signals" for 1967 is housed at the Simcoe County Archives. The Archives also has copies of
<em>Coraid News</em>, including the initial edition of the paper in May 1973 up until December 1974. This newspaper, printed in Orillia, was for Native People of Central Ontario and was edited by Alan Simcoe. Library and Archives Canada, with funding from the Aboriginal Digital Collections Program, has archived the website "Welcome to the Aboriginal Communities and Business of Simcoe Region." This is a great resource for anyone wondering about aboriginal businesses in the county at the start of the digital age. </span></p><p style="text-align:center;">

<span class="ms-rteFontSize-2">The Barrie Native Friendship Centre and the Georgian Bay Native Friendship Centre are a few of the institutions in Simcoe County that offer resources to Native communities and promote indigenous heritage and culture. In addition, the Georgian Bay Métis Council, in Midland Ontario, represents the largest concentration of self-identified Métis in Ontario. </span></p><p>
<span class="ms-rteFontSize-2">Native heritage in the county has interesting resonances from the past into today. Christian Island was once the site of a French mission to the Huron-Wendat people and the name of the island is derived from this history. The Mnjikaning First Nation help preserve the fishing weirs found at Atherley Narrows, a man-made construction, attributed to the Wendat people that is approximately 5000 years old. The past and the present come together in many different ways all over the county.

His paternal grandfather was Antoine Gaudaur, the first-known non-native permanent settler in Orillia. Gaudaur's paternal grandmother was Mary (Shilling) Gaudaur, daughter of Chief Big Shilling (Neb-Non-A-Quet “Summer Cloud"), chief of the Deer Tribe in Rama, under Chief Yellowhead.<br></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="/Archives/PublishingImages/970-63%20Jacob%20Gill%20Gaudaur-1080.jpg" title="Jacob Gill Gaudaur"><img src="/Archives/PublishingImages/970-63%20Jacob%20Gill%20Gaudaur-480.jpg" alt="Jacob Gill Gaudaur" class="ms-rtePosition-5" style="margin:5px 55px;width:515px;height:372px;" /></a><span style="font-size:0.714em;">970-63 Jacob Gill </span><span style="font-size:0.714em;">Ga</span><span style="font-size:0.714em;">udaur. Copyright: Public Domain</span><br></p><p>Jake Gaudaur took up competitive rowing at the age of 17, and was one of the greatest scullers in the history of Canadian rowing. During the 1890s especially, he was nearly unbeatable. In 1892, Gaudaur and George Hosmer won the World Double Sculls Championship in a race held on Lake Couchiching. A year later, in Austin, Texas, Gaudaur set a world record for the single sculls three-miles-with-a-turn race. He lowered the record the next year in a time of 19 minutes 1.5 seconds, a time that has never been beaten. Gaudaur became the single sculls world champion in a race held on the Thames River in England, and he held the title from 1896 to 1901. During the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations held at Orillia on May 24, 1897, Gaudaur had no trouble beating Erastus Rogers of Worcester, Massachusetts, in a two-mile race for the North American championship.</p><p>After 25 years of competitive rowing, Gaudaur retired and returned to his hometown of Orillia. He operated a fishing and boat livery business until just a few months before his death. <br></p><h4>Citation:<br></h4><p>1. Government of Canada.

This ethos of community service would be one that Madge adopted in her own life. </p><p>Madge was a talented student, and began her studies at the University of Toronto in 1887. She graduated with a Master of Arts degree in 1891. With strong communication skills and a dynamic personality, Madge found early success as a writer and editor. Following the completion of her studies, she moved to New York City and served as editor of the popular magazine Ladies Weekly. Her time in New York was cut short, however, when her mother took ill. Madge returned to Collingwood in 1893 and, after the death of her mother, she married Dr. Alfred Tennyson Watt (1868-1913). <br></p><p>The Watts relocated to just outside of Victoria, British Columbia, where Dr. Watt served as the Medical Health Officer and Superintendent of William Head Quarantine Station. It was at this point, as she adapted to a more rural lifestyle, that Madge’s involvement with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_Institute" title="The Women's Institute" target="_blank">Women’s Institute</a> (WI) began in earnest. She was an early adopter of the movement and was a founding member of the <a href="https://www.bcwi.ca/blog/madge-watt-and-metchosin" title="Madge Watt and Metchosin" target="_blank">Metchosin Women's Institute</a>. She also served as secretary of the Women's Institute Advisory Board for British Columbia. <br><span style="font-size:1em;"><br>Following the death of her husband in 1913, Madge and her two sons left British Columbia for England. With the onset of the First World War in 1914, Madge recognized the benefits organized, rural women could bring to the war effort. She successfully established a Women’s Institute presence in the United Kingdom (UK). She imparted many of the tenets and practices established in Canadian Women’s Institute branches to these new members. Under Madge’s direction, the WI’s played a key role in wartime agricultural production. Through their efforts food production and distribution was optimized to such a degree that it surpassed England’s supply requirements. In 1919 Madge was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire for her role in establishing the WI in the UK. </span><br></p><p style="text-align:center;"><img src="/Archives/PublishingImages/ACWW%20(1).jpg" alt="Associated Country Women of the World logo" class="ms-rteThemeFontFace-1" style="font-size:1em;margin:5px;" /><br></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong style="font-size:1em;">The Associated County Women of the World logo</strong><span style="font-size:1em;"><br></span></p><p><span style="font-size:1em;">Throughout the 1920s Madge continued to advocate for the Women’s Institute and, more generally, for the sustained empowerment and organization of rural women within their communities. Through her work with the International Council of Women, she became one of the founding members of the <a href="http://www.acww.org.uk/" title="ssociated Country Women of the World" target="_blank">Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW)</a>. Established in 1933, the ACWW is an international, non-governmental organization, which works to coordinate and represent the interests of women-led member institutions. In a speech given at an international conference of rural women held in 1930, Madge Watt was quoted as giving the following statement: </span><br></p><span data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:1em;"> “Country women have begun to realize that their best contribution to the welfare of their families and their countries is not to stagger on under burdens too great for their strength, which result in invalidism and premature death; but, through co-operation with one another, to secure that due care for their health as mothers which is their right, and those reasonable opportunities for education and recreation, and development of their talents, which every human being should be able to claim.”</span><div><p style="text-align:right;"><span data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-CA">Madge Watt, 1930</span> <br><span data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:1em;">Source: <a href="https://www.acww.org.uk/our_history.html" title="History of the ACWW " target="_blank">History of the ACWW</a></span><span style="font-size:1em;"> </span></p><p><span data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-CA"></span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335551550":3,"335551620":3,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span><span data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:1em;">Madge Watt served as the President of the ACWW until 1947, when t</span><span data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="font-size:1em;">he ACWW was granted </span><span data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:1em;">Consultative Status with the United Nations.

| Memorializing Simcoe County's Heroes | https://www.simcoe.ca/Archives/Pages/Memorializing-Simcoe-County-Heroes.aspx | 5/7/2018 7:08:05 PM | Memorializing Simcoe County's Heroes | <p>Blog originally posted May 8, 2018<br></p><h4>Victory in Europe<br></h4><p>May 8, 1945 brought victory in Europe, inciting celebration throughout Canada. Although this was a period of excitement and relief, it was overshadowed by the reality of staggering casualties. As we commemorate the 73<sup>rd</sup> anniversary of Victory in Europe Day during our celebration of the County of Simcoe's 175 years of incorporation, we highlight the county's efforts to monitor and memorialize residents who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country. </p><p><strong>Simcoe County War Records Committee</strong></p><p>As the war raged on, the county sought to stay informed about residents who enlisted into active service. The Simcoe County War Records Committee was created by <a title="About Committees and Council" href="/_layouts/15/FIXUPREDIRECT.ASPX?WebId=a41fbfa1-82ca-4939-9932-d97b8d6ad3e9&TermSetId=fb933945-005d-43ad-bb62-b84ef1fa9284&TermId=1b94985b-ce61-4029-bd89-5b96d8ad74f6">council</a> to monitor military personnel, paying special attention to those who perished while in service. The committee sent out letters requesting that the clerks of the County's <a title="Municipal partners" href="/Clerks/Pages/municipalpartners.aspx">townships, towns, and villages </a>create an ongoing report on the status of military members in their communities. They continually updated their lists and maintained correspondence with the War Records Committee so that it could compile accurate and up-to-date data.</p><p style="text-align:center;"> <a title="Letter of thanks from the Simcoe County War Records Committee" href="/Archives/PublishingImages/Pages/Blog/972-27_War%20Records%20Committee_October%2024%201941-1080.jpg"><img class="ms-rteImage-0" alt="Letter of thanks from the Simcoe County War Records Committee" src="/Archives/PublishingImages/Pages/Blog/972-27_War%20Records%20Committee_October%2024%201941-480.jpg" style="margin:5px;" /></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><em>972-27 Letter of thanks from the Simcoe County War Records Committee<br></em><em>Copyright: Corporation of the County of Simcoe</em></p><p>Newspapers became a valuable resource, since publicity made residents eager to report corrections and updates on the status of family members. As <em>The Alliston Herald</em> explained, keeping up with constant changes was difficult because: “almost every day we get a change or a new name to add to the list" making the project “…quite an expense". Even so, they assured “continued cooperation" with the War Records Committee.</p><p style="text-align:center;"><a title="Letter from the Alliston Herald ensuring “continued cooperation"" href="/Archives/PublishingImages/Pages/Blog/972-27_The%20Alliston%20Herald_November%2018%201941-1080.jpg"><img class="ms-rteImage-0" alt="Letter from the Alliston Herald ensuring “continued cooperation"" src="/Archives/PublishingImages/Pages/Blog/972-27_The%20Alliston%20Herald_November%2018%201941-480.jpg" style="margin:5px;" /></a> </p><p style="text-align:center;"><em>972-27 Letter from the Alliston Herald ensuring “continued cooperation"<br><em><em>Copyright: Unknown</em></em></em></p><p>The collaboration of the various municipal and newspaper offices enabled the War Records Committee to compile a seemingly complete list of those on active service, and it became an invaluable resource at the end of the war.</p><p style="text-align:center;"><em><a title="Working list of Simcoe County residents in active service" href="/Archives/PublishingImages/Pages/Blog/972-27_SC%20Active%20Service%20List-1080.jpg"><img alt="Working list of Simcoe County residents in active service" src="/Archives/PublishingImages/Pages/Blog/972-27_SC%20Active%20Service%20List-480.jpg" style="margin:5px;" /></a></em> </p><p style="text-align:center;"><em>972-27 Working list of Simcoe County residents in active service<br><em><em>Copyright: <em>Corporation of the County of Simcoe</em></em></em></em></p><p><strong>Simcoe County War Memorial Plaque Committee</strong></p><p>With the declaration of victory in 1945, residents sought ways to remember the friends and family who had been lost to them. The County of Simcoe promptly established the War Memorial Plaque Committee, which was tasked to commemorate the County's heroes. With the previous work the War Records Committee had completed, the War Memorial Plaque Committee had only to validate and finalize the list of names that would appear on the county's memorial.</p><p style="text-align:center;"><em><a title="Notices were placed in Newspapers across the county" href="/Archives/PublishingImages/Pages/Blog/972-27_Newspaper%20Notice-1080.jpg"><img alt="Notices were placed in Newspapers across the county" src="/Archives/PublishingImages/Pages/Blog/972-27_Newspaper%20Notice-480.jpg" style="margin:5px;" /></a></em> </p><p style="text-align:center;"><em>972-27 Notices were placed in Newspapers across the county<br><em><em>Copyright: <em>Corporation of the County of Simcoe</em></em></em></em></p><p>Newspapers were asked to publish a notice requesting family members to confirm the county's war dead. Only individuals who had specified their residence as being within Simcoe County at the time of their enlistment have been remembered on the plaque. The municipal clerks collected the information and then forwarded the details to the committee.</p><p style="text-align:center;"><a title="Letter from Midland's Clerk confirming local casualties" href="/Archives/PublishingImages/Pages/Blog/972-27_Town%20of%20Midland_April%2025%201946-1080.jpg"><img alt="Letter from Midland's Clerk confirming local casualties" src="/Archives/PublishingImages/Pages/Blog/972-27_Town%20of%20Midland_April%2025%201946-480.jpg" style="margin:5px;" /></a> </p><p style="text-align:center;"><em>972-27 Letter from Midland's Clerk confirming local casualties<br><em><em>Copyright: Unknown</em></em></em></p><p>With the collection of names underway, the committee focused on making plans for the physical plaque. It was decided that the county memorial would be placed in the rotunda of the courthouse and that a leather-bound remembrance book would accompany it. </p><p style="text-align:center;"><em><a title="Sketch of the Simcoe County Court House WWII Memorial 1947" href="/Archives/PublishingImages/Pages/Blog/972-27_War%20Memorial%20Plaque_1947-1080.jpg"><img alt="Sketch of the Simcoe County Court House WWII Memorial 1947" src="/Archives/PublishingImages/Pages/Blog/972-27_War%20Memorial%20Plaque_1947-480.jpg" style="margin:5px;" /></a></em> </p><p style="text-align:center;"><em>972-27 Sketch of the Simcoe County Court House WWII Memorial 1947<br><em><em>Copyright: Unknown</em></em></em></p><p>Even as the plaque was being constructed, new names were acquired and changes submitted. The Committee which had originally calculated 275 names, had a total of 346 by the end of the process. The Committee subsequently received word several names had been missed. After looking into the claims, the names were added to the plaque bringing the total number to 349. The Simcoe County Archives has no evidence that the official Book of Remembrance was ever created, but SCA staff have compiled a list of the names which is available <a title="Simcoe County Honour Roll, 1935-1945" href="/Archives/Documents/SC_Memorial_Roll_WWII.pdf">here</a>. </p><p>The plaque remained at the Court House until it was moved to the new Simcoe County Administration Centre when it opened in 1972. In preparation for the expansion of the Centre, completed in 2012, the plaque was removed to the <a title="Simcoe County Museum" href="https://museum.simcoe.ca/">Simcoe County Museum </a>for safekeeping. It is currently on display in the Museum's Partner Hall.</p><p>The importance of the Simcoe County War Records Committee, and the Simcoe County War Memorial Plaque Committee cannot be underestimated, since their ambition to keep track of the county's servicemen and servicewomen made it possible to commemorate our World War II casualties. Their creation, in fact, was likely a result of the realization that the absence of similar committees during the First World War meant no records existed for those with ties to Simcoe County who served and/or died during the conflict. As a result, while <a title="Remembering Vimy" href="/Archives/Pages/Remembering-Vimy.aspx">cenotaphs</a> were erected in communities throughout Simcoe County, there is not a county-wide commemorative memorial.</p><p>As we remember Victory in Europe day, we pause to remember the many men and women of Simcoe County who participated on the home front and overseas.</p><p>Visit the Simcoe County Archives to access more information about the county's involvement in the <a title="About the Archives" href="/_layouts/15/FIXUPREDIRECT.ASPX?WebId=a41fbfa1-82ca-4939-9932-d97b8d6ad3e9&TermSetId=fb933945-005d-43ad-bb62-b84ef1fa9284&TermId=29b72580-d0a2-4486-8de8-5fa6678e2631">Second World War</a>.
