We would like to thank Carolyn Naftel for her lovely post (May 28, 2018) about the generous donation, by Ilse Elliott and her husband the late William Elliott, described in Generous donation protects significant creek and creates lasting local legacy:
Carolyn writes that:
“A friend in Goderich sent me a newspaper article describing this donation. I would like to express my gratitude to Ilse Elliott for her generous gift. It is wonderful to think that the land and creek will be protected and planted with many more trees that will help soil, water and wildlife. This was a family farm and my father moved us there after World War II. My brother Bill and I went to the one-room school at SS#6. It was not very economically successful but I have happy memories of the bush, the fish in the creek, and swimming in the lake. I remember walnut and beech trees that had been planted by my grandfather. We left when I was a teenager, probably about 1952, and moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia.”
