Our volunteers Bruce and Irene Thurston were doing a final clean-up of the garden, but it's been so warm, the zinnias are still in bloom! Special thank you to our other garden volunteer Lorna Ferguson who's helped manage the garden all year.

Happy Halloween! We searched far and wide for the scariest recipe we could find and came across @bdylanhollis Spaghetti O Jello Ring Delight. Would you be brave enough to try this 1960’s recipe that features Spaghetti O’s, tomato soup, gelatine and Vienna sausages?

Happy Halloween Friends.
For the last day of spooky season we asked our staff what items in our collections they find creepy? Any guesses? Watch to find out.

Stay safe while you trick or treat tonight and Go Jays Go!

Blue Jays fans! #DYK that Kitchener’s CKCO-TV produced a weekly sports show between 1982 and 1993 called Blue Jays Banter? Blue Jays Banter was eventually syndicated and broadcast by all CTV affiliates across Canada.
