The year 2000 represents the changing of an era, one of those momentous occasions that compels us to pause and reflect upon both the progression of time and our place within a broader human landscape. Here, we also celebrate some two centuries since this land became known as Pickering, and we mark that passage by entering a new millennium with the status of a city. Time Present and Time Past is a summary of ourselves as we enter that new era, and a chronicle of the people and events that have come together to create this new City of Pickering. Our first pioneer homesteaders would not recognize the Pickering of today with its growing population, industry and commerce. It is indeed a far cry from the log cabins and mill sites of the past. What they would find familiar, though, is the spirit of community that still characterizes life in Pickering. Citizens, both civic and corporate, still share initiatives to enhance the quality of life for all our residents. Now, instead of working bees and barn raisings, we see unfold such cooperative projects as the Waterfront Trail, the many community festivals, and this book that you hold in your hands today. I have had the opportunity to observe the progress of this singular project from the beginning and have been most impressed with the degree of community involvement that it represents. I would like to offer our collective thanks to all those who volunteered their images and stories, those who generously offered their sponsorship, and those of the Pickering Township Historical Society who dedicated so much of their time and energy towards ensuring that our community has a lasting souvenir of our progress thus far. Finally, I would like to look back to that pioneer spirit of strength and adventure and invoke it once more as we step forth into this new millennium. With foresight and responsible stewardship we have the chance to provide for our children, and their children too, a legacy that will carry them through this century and beyond. viii " "Message from the Chair Doug Dickerson City of Pickering Millennium Committee As Chair of the Pickering 2000 Committee, I am delighted to see the publication of this fine volume and equally proud of our partnership in its production. Pickering 2000 has celebrated this special year by coordinating a series of events and activities for the whole family to enjoy, and through the help of a small army of volunteers and the kindness of a number of special corporate friends, these events have been delivered at no cost to the public. Given this commitment from the community, we have celebrated in many ways, from the fireworks at New Year's Eve to Winterfest, from commemorative pins for our children to jazz concerts at the Seniors' Pavilion on Canada Day. If there is a common thread woven through these festivities, it is that of 'Neighbours helping Neighbours.' Some contributed time, some contributed money, and many, many more helped to carry the spirit of the Millennium throughout the year. This book, Time Present and Time Past, was conceived and carried out in the same spirit. Many residents shared their memories and photographs so that the rest of us might gain some insight into the Pickering of yesteryear. With the generous support of other individuals and businesses this book was specifically realized at a price far below market value so that it might be available to all that want a copy. It is a commemoration of our past, a celebration of our present, and a guidepost towards our future. It is a product of neighbours helping neighbours, and, ultimately, isn't that the sign of a healthy, vibrant community? Congratulations to all those who were involved in the production of this splendid memento of our extraordinary past, and on behalf of the Pickering 2000 Committee, I wish for all of our residents a future full of good fortune, good health, good will, and good neighbours. ix " "President's Message Tom Mohr Pickering Township Historical Society The turning of the millennium is a singular milestone for a number of reasons. It marks the onset of the 2000th anniversary of the birth of Christ. It clicks over our calendrical system to a new set of zeroes. It marks 1000 years since Leif Erikson 'found' North America (much to the surprise of the First Nations who were not aware it had been lost), but more importantly, the Vikings in that year 'completed the circle' as the human Diaspora met once again after spreading out for some 150, 000 years. And just incidentally, the year 2000 also marks some two centuries of European settlement in Pickering. This book is a way of capturing that millennial spirit and using it to celebrate our own municipal heritage. It is not a chronological history of the City of Pickering—that will have to wait until the official Bicentennial of our first town meeting back in 1811. It is, as the title suggests, a pictorial journey through the city's past. And while it has been assembled with love and skill by the two Johns—Sabean and Cormier—in a very real sense it has been written by the community. It has been the residents, past and present, who opened their photo albums and stirred their memories to share their own personal legacy with the rest of the city. Others are entitled to due credit for this project. Gail Lawlor put in countless hours to attract the sponsors who subsidized the cost of Time Present and Time Past. Helen Piilonen oversaw the print production, costing, budgeting, and, in general bringing the ink to the printed page. Carol Sabean also stepped in to help bring the project to a close once the final final deadline loomed. It is, in fact, a book whose ending has not yet been written, as history starts a mere moment ago and time progresses so very swiftly these days. It was hoped that the book would have been ready sooner, but the confidence placed in the project by the Mayor and Council of the City of Pickering, by the contributors, and by the sponsors themselves, demanded that it be as close to perfection as humanly possible. Those immediately concerned with the production of Time Present and Time Past will, no doubt, lament that it could have been a better book had they only had a little more time. I, however, am confident that the residents of the City of Pickering will embrace their efforts and thank them for a job well done. As President of the Pickering Township Historical Society I am proud of my own slight contribution to this effort. Moreover, I am proud that this community is served by an historical society that has helped to rekindle, or at very least focus, an abiding interest in its collective past. That, my friends, is a sure sign of a healthy society. Finally, as you peruse these pages, please give thought to those who have helped to shape this city through the years, and consider that they were not generally conscious of the fact that they were creating history. They were just ordinary folks going about their business with the same aspirations that we share today. Perhaps this will inspire us to try, just a little, to make a difference in our own daily lives, to pitch in and help this community to continue to grow in an appealing manner. That is the legacy that we, today, can leave for the future, that we can pass along to our children. That is how we can live forever. x " " Foreword This book is not intended to be a comprehensive history of Pickering. It was planned as a celebration—pictorially—of Pickering at the end of the century and millennium. We put out a call for photographs of Pickering's past and received an overwhelming response, collecting nearly 3000 pictures by the time we had to close off that part of the book-making process. We scanned all of these images into the computer so that apart from the book we are possessed of a database of Pickering's history in pictures upon which we can continue to build. Having collected the pictures we had to devise a way of presenting them in some rational order. Early in the process certain patterns began to emerge and it became clear that a thematic approach was better than a chronological one. Obviously we have had to be selective. We could not include every person and institution in the city in a book of this size. Thus the images that are shown in this volume must stand as a representation of the land and its people as a whole. Pickering today is smaller in area than it was a half century ago. Part of Port Union and all of Ajax were once a part of Pickering Township and therefore a part of Pickering's history. We could not ignore that history, but at the same time we did not feel it necessary to cover those areas in their post-Pickering era. In any case Ajax was well served a few years ago with a book of its own that tells its story both in words and pictures. We sought sponsors for our book so that businesses and organizations might have a way of contributing to a millennium project. We received contributions from some 53 sponsors and this will ensure that the selling price of the book will be kept very low and easily affordable. Sponsorships were set at six levels—Diamond, Ruby, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Copper. These sponsors are featured on pages according to the amount of their contribution: Diamond-level sponsors exclusive in the Colour Portfolio, Ruby exclusive on black-and-white pages, Gold sponsors share a page with one other sponsor, Silver with two other sponsors, Bronze with three others, and Copper with five others. In the identification of people in the photographs all names are to be read as left to right and from front to rear. Every effort has been made to identify all the people in the photographs, but in some cases we were unable to complete the identification. Maiden names, where known, are given in parentheses.

We experience our modern society by simply living in it, and perceive hints of our more recent past through the older homes of the area, in the rural area of much of the city, and in celebrations of our pioneer heritage. It is, however, a mistake to bind our perspective merely by the changes brought about since our first settlers made their way to the area now known as the City of Pickering. Our cultural landscape has witnessed several distinct changes since the retreat of the glaciers some 11 000 years ago when this land became suitable for human habitation. It was the people we regard as Paleo-Indians, whose ancestors had entered this continent from Asia, who first populated the highlands of the city's north. We know them by their tools, weapons and the campsites that they contributed to the archaeological record as they went about their seasonal rounds. Over the centuries changes in tool making and an apparent growth in population signaled a new cultural group known as Archaic peoples. They, too, were nomads but inhabited a significantly more temperate world as the climate warmed and the boreal forests gave way to the mixed woods that we recognize today. These people were likely the precursors of the Algonquian-speaking tribes that we know now, such as the Ojibway and Mississauga First Nations. About a thousand years ago, a new people migrated into the area of the Great Lakes. They hunted the game of the vast forests and ate of the plants and seeds that were provided by the bountiful environment, but they also brought the concept of agriculture with them. They supplemented their diets by growing what they referred to as the 'Three Sisters'—corn, beans and squash. This new cultural group is known as the Lake Ontario Iroquois, and eventually coalesced into tribes such as the Huron, the Six Nations, and others who share the Iroquoian language group. The Miller Site, a village excavated in the late 1950s, was home to these people c1125. Those who shared the land were not without inter-tribal tensions, especially once the European newcomers began to engage in trade for the rich fur resources of the New World. Conflict arose between those Iroquois on the north shore of Lake Ontario and their cousins to the south eventually resulting in the dispersal of the Huron and other northern tribal units. Our cultural landscape, then, witnessed new changes as both the Iroquois Confederacy of the south claimed rich northern trapping lands and the French assumed colonial rights in the name of their king. The two cultures met at Gandatsetiagon, a late seventeenth century Seneca village on the Rouge River, with the visit of Father Francois Fenelon in 1669, but parted ways with the punitive expedition of the Marquis de Denonville in 1687. By 1700, an alliance of Algonkian peoples had driven the Iroquois back to what is now New York State. The French, who did less to settle Pickering than to exploit its resources, came as missionaries, traders and soldiers. Of their century and a half of tenure few physical remnants survive. Their legacy is most evident upon the map, leaving behind such place names as the Rouge River, Petticoat (petit cote) Creek, and, perhaps, Frenchman's Bay. Shortly after the fall of Quebec, New France became, instead, a part of the British Empire. It was the British who ultimately prepared the land for settlement by signing treaties with the Mississauga First Nations and surveying their new dominion. The ensuing pioneer era is the cultural sequence that we most readily recognize as our city's recent heritage. It is the way of the settler that we may see skillfully interpreted at the Pickering Museum Village; the settlers' shadows are still evident about the landscape. But they were certainly not the first to walk the forest trails of Pickering. 'Modern' Pickering began as Edinburgh Township in the District of Nassau, but under the administration of Lieut-Gov John Graves Simcoe, Edinburgh Township was changed to Pickering Township and The District of Nassau to the Home District. The name Pickering was probably derived from the town of that name in Simcoe's homeland of Yorkshire, England, as were Scarborough and Whitby, Pickering's neighbours in both the old and the New World. In 1791, Deputy Provincial Land Surveyor, Augustus Jones, surveyed the lakefront from Murray Township to York. He ran a 'base line' far enough inland from the lake to miss bays such as Frenchman's Bay and on the line he laid out the townships. The township concessions were run parallel to the base line 1 1/4 miles apart. The land 1 " " between the base line and the lake shore was known as the broken front, and in Pickering was divided into three 'ranges.' Further surveys in the 1790s completed the division of the township into 200-acre lots. These lands would be available for settlement except for certain reserves set aside for a 'Protestant' clergy and for the revenue of the government (one-seventh of the land for each). Pickering Township was composed of about 75 000 acres and extended from the Scarborough Townline and Port Union Road to Lakeridge Road and from the lake to the Tenth Concession Road. The first property owner in Pickering was Major John Smith of the Fifth Regiment of Foot who received his land grant for his services to the government. He had been commanding officer at Detroit from 1790 to 1792, and then at Niagara for the next three years. His grant totaled about 6200 acres, all of it in the south of Pickering. Shortly after receiving the grant Smith died leaving his lands to his only son David William Smith. The younger Smith was a Member of Parliament and was to hold many other offices in the fledgling government including Speaker of the Assembly and trustee of the Six Nations. He was also the Acting Surveyor-General of Upper Canada and therefore knew where the best land was to be had. No doubt he had arranged for the grant to his father to be in a good location at not too great a distance from York. He petitioned for still more land both for himself and for his mother. In all, the Smith lands in Pickering by 1899 amounted to 9200 acres, about 1/8 of the total. The massing of lands in Pickering may have been to some purpose. In a petition submitted in 1797, Smith requested 1200 acres in Pickering Township ""wherein he is about to erect Mills at a very considerable Expence."" Moreover he sent an order to the Commissary-General's department for the issue of millstones and hardware. Whatever might have been his intentions, however, he never followed through with his plans. He returned instead in 1802 to England where he was created a baronet in 1821 for his services to Upper Canada. Meanwhile other lands in Pickering were being parceled out, mostly to government office-holders or their wives, none of whom either settled here or developed the land. Over 30 000 acres were disposed of in this fashion before Capt Thomas Matthews, a United Empire Loyalist, and his wife Mary Rattan Matthews were awarded 550 acres between them in the Sixth Concession on 8 July 1799. Within a very few years they moved their family to Pickering from the Belleville area. But the Matthews were not the first permanent settlers in Pickering. That honour probably resides with William and Margaret Peak. William Peak was a Loyalist from the United States, but he did not immigrate directly to Pickering Township. According to his own account told in 1837 he came to Upper Canada as early as 1783 just after the end of the American Revolutionary War. He settled first near the Don River in Toronto but when forced to vacate the land moved on to Port Hope. He went on to claim that he later became the first settler in Pickering at the inducement of the then Surveyor-General, D.W. Smith. As nearly as can be determined the Peaks arrived in Pickering about 1798 or 1799, and settled on the west side of Duffin's Creek a short way from the lake. This was Lot 15 of the broken front, a clergy reserve, which they leased from the government. They did not receive a formal lease from the Crown until 1806. Peak was a fur trader with many years' experience as an Indian interpreter. He included among his friends Mississauga chief Wabbokisheko for whom he often served as interpreter. If, indeed, he came to Pickering at Smith's urging, and Smith had intentions of developing his land, perhaps he had chosen Peak to be his overseer. Peak did eventually build mills in Pickering, but probably not until after 1810, by which time Smith had long since returned to England. Other families came singly or in tandem with others from the United States and settled on lands dispersed throughout Pickering. In the south most of the land had been granted in large blocks to absentee owners and were not open to settlement. However, a number of families—like the Peaks— leased lands set aside for the revenues of the church and government. In the north immigrants settled on lands they received as grants or were able to purchase from the grantees. In both areas the settlers were generally spread out. The first concentration of settlers came with the appearance of Timothy Rogers in 1807. Rogers was a member of the Friends Society (or Quakers). He 2" " had come to Upper Canada in 1801, settling along Yonge Street in Newmarket. In talks with the government he had agreed to bring in 40 families. This contract he fulfilled by bringing in fellow Quakers. Then in 1807 he moved to Pickering where he purchased 800 acres from D.W. Smith. Again he brought in a number of Quaker families, among them the Chapmans, the Haights, the Browns, and the Powells. Most of the families settled on lands east of Duffin's Creek to the Whitby line. With their common religious heritage and living in proximity to their neighbours, the Quakers, with other early settlers formed the nucleus of the first village in Pickering. That first village was Pickering Village. It boasted a store as early as 1817—the first in the township. In 1829 it was allowed a post office with Francis Leys as the first postmaster. Timothy Rogers had a dream of making Pickering a centre of the Quaker faith. To this end he deeded land for a Quaker Meeting House and cemetery. After his death a meeting house was built, in time Pickering did become the site of the yearly meeting, and a Quaker educational institution, Pickering College, was established on the outskirts of the village. But Pickering Village was never an exclusive community. The Anglicans established a mission at Duffin's Creek in the 1820s and brought the Rev Adam Elliott to serve it. He founded the Parish of St. George and began the construction of the present church in 1841. Presbyterianism began in Pickering Village in the mid 1830s under the direction of the Rev Robert Thornton, a well-known church figure whose main charge was in Oshawa. In the next decade a Roman Catholic church was built on Notion Street. Pickering Village was called by several names over the years—Canton, Duffins Creek, Monodelphia, Pickering Mills, but in the end the name that stuck was the one it took from the original post office. Other mill sites in the township would likewise develop into villages— Whitevale, Greenwood and Green River among them. As a municipality Pickering dates to 1811 when the first 'town meeting' was held. An earlier town meeting had been held at Samuel Munger's home in 1803, but that was a joint meeting with Whitby Township. By 1811 Pickering had a sufficient number of settlers to set out on its own. The officers that were chosen at that meeting were a town clerk, assessors, a collector, Pathmasters, pound keepers and town wardens. The clerk served a capacity much as the present office; the wardens were more or less councilors in the modern sense. The assessors evaluated property and the collector collected the taxes. The Pathmasters had the task of laying out, improving and maintaining the roads while the pound keepers were responsible for keeping livestock in check. Meetings were held annually at first in individual homes and later at public meeting places such as Thompson's Hotel located on the Brock Road at the Fifth Concession Road. The War of 1812 created a pause in Pickering's development. During the course of the war few families immigrated to the township and even the town meetings were suspended until the war's end. Pickering contributed a number of militia to the war effort and not all came back. When immigration resumed it was to refocus. Increasingly, immigrants came from the British Isles and Ireland. There was a steady growth to about 1825 and then the pace increased rapidly. From 830 in 1825, population increased to 1356 by 1830 and then doubled to 2642 in 1835. By 1851 the population had grown to 6737. Life was harsh and dangerous for the earliest settlers. Roads, where they existed at all, were often impassable. Houses were constructed from rough-hewn logs and had a fireplace for heat, light and cooking. Clothes and household goods were largely handmade. With thick forest surrounding the small clearings there was a real danger of becoming lost. Settlers often carried a tin horn with them when they travelled so that they could call for help if needed. There were no doctors, no schoolhouses, no church buildings, no stores, and no post offices. Of course this picture varied according to circumstances. Some pioneers brought more goods with them to start than others did, and those in the south had better access to outside markets. As time progressed and more people came to settle the harshness receded. There was more opportunity for social gatherings such as bees for clothmaking and harvesting. Churches were organized and even before they could build suitable buildings for worship already provided spiritual comfort and a sense of community. There were also some individual comforts. Mary Rattan Matthews, for 3 " "example, brought her violin with her and no doubt put it to good use both for her families' amusement and her children's education. The first order of business for settlers was the clearing of land to build homes and to plant crops. The forest was truly the enemy that had to be conquered. Some entrepreneurs built saw mills and gristmills—the first efforts at industrial life—that supplied the basic needs of sawn timber and flour as a staple food. In the first half of the nineteenth century forestry was an important industry for Pickering. Pine logs for ship's masts, squared timber, and cordwood were exported through Frenchman's Bay. Dredging had begun in the bay as early as 1843 to clear a channel large enough to admit larger ships from Lake Ontario. It is reported that in the year 1845 alone, with some 20 sawmills in operation in the township, one million metres of lumber were exported through Frenchman's Bay. By mid-century more than half of Pickering Township was cleared of its once abundant trees. Forestry would decline over the next few decades as an export. While steady growth marks the first half-century of Pickering's settlement history, an event occurred in the late 1830s that thoroughly shook the community to the core. Settling a new country was hard work and the newcomers wanted some voice in the affairs of state that affected them directly. But the Family Compact in power in York had little desire to seek the advice of yeomen in the townships. The settlers had real grievances— issues of an uneven tax system, of religious freedom, of lack of educational opportunities, of unfair land granting, among others. But although they attempted to gain the ear of the government, the ruling gentry would not listen. Some men called for open rebellion against the government. Others had seen enough fighting and feared a weakened government would throw the doors of the country open to their American neighbours. The community was divided. Some churches were divided. Even some families could not agree on a course of action. Armed rebellion did erupt finally in December 1837, and Pickering men were at the centre of the affair. The rebels were ill equipped and unorganized, however, and the revolt crumbled quickly. Rebels were rounded up and put in jail to await trial. Most in the end were set free but one Baptist farmer from Brougham, Peter Matthews, who had led a rebel detachment on the attack on York was executed along with Samuel Lount of Holland Landing. The immediate result of the rebellion was one of failure, but it opened the eyes of the government in Britain who sent out Lord Durham to prepare a report. Reform followed quickly and the issues that called forth the rebellion were dealt with one by one by a more reasonable and responsible government. By 1850 the pioneer era was at an end. Changes in local government were taking place as the second half of the century began and a period of prosperity had dawned. Until 1852 Pickering Township was in the County of York and therefore associated with the Town of York administratively. The Municipal Act of 1849, however, one piece of Robert Baldwin's Reform Government legislation which was directed to shifting responsibility for certain matters into local hands, created the County of Ontario in 1852. The Townships of Pickering and Whitby and the village of Oshawa were now united with several northern townships in a new level of government, which brought decisions relating to Pickering's affairs more closely to home. The second half of the nineteenth century began with a period of prosperity. However with the coming of the Grand Trunk Railway in 1856, the importance of Frenchman's Bay declined sharply, but the government poured in money for an upgrading of the facilities. A new wharf replaced the old one, a lighthouse was built, a new channel dredged, and a 50 000-bushel elevator was constructed. Once again the bay became a bustling port with barley as the new chief export. Wagons would line the road all the way to Liverpool Road waiting to unload their cargoes of grain, which were destined for the breweries of the United States. All this ended when an American duty on the importation of barley closed the market and once again the port went into decline. During the boom period buildings both domestic and public were built. Homes of stone, brick, or framing replaced the first rude cabins, and churches, schools and other public buildings were constructed on a more permanent basis. Villages flourished and attracted more industry. 4 " " When the economy turned downward Pickering farmers survived by turning to other types of farming as an alternative to crop raising. Dairying became an industry and horse-breeding gained popularity. Farmers also found it productive to cooperate in such things as barn raising, threshing and sharing a beef ring. In addition, farmers saw improvements in methods of farming in this period. By the end of the century steam power was replacing horsepower. This and other advancements in mechanization led to a reduced labour force required on the farm. Labourers without work departed for the cities. Population reached a peak in 1861 at 8000 and then began to decline steadily. The 1861 level was not again reached until the middle of the next century. In the twentieth century technological improvements on the farm continued at a rapid pace. Electricity provided heat, light and a source of power for new machines. Gas engines replaced steam engines. Tractors were introduced and attached to them were the machines that changed the whole farming operation: mowers, rakes, cultivators, and combines. Wars and the Depression brought about great fluctuations in prices, but scientific advancements made the jobs easier and quicker. However, costs of improved machinery necessitated larger operations leading to the consolidation of farms. Agriculture remained the basis of Pickering's economy until after the Second World War when it gradually gave way to business and industry. Much farmland was lost in the second half of the twentieth century. Beginning in the 1960s suburbs in the south replaced farms and the suburbs continued to move in a northerly direction. But the greatest blow to farming came with the proposal to build a new airport in the north of Pickering and a new town to adjoin it. The lands were expropriated by the federal and provincial governments and further construction was stopped. While farms continued to operate pending final decisions, improvements to buildings and lands were largely curtailed and many of the old families were forced to move away. On 1 January 1974, Pickering was raised to the status of town upon the creation of the Regional Municipality of Durham. The town, however, was considerably smaller than the township. In the 1950s Ajax had become a separate municipality. With the changes of 1974, Pickering Village, Audley, and other areas of the former township were added to the Town of Ajax. As well, the eastern portion of Port Union (the area east of Port Union Rd) was given to the then Borough of Scarborough. The area now covered by Pickering is 227 square kilometres. As of 1 January 2000 the Town of Pickering became the City of Pickering. The City Council presently is made up of the mayor and three regional and three local councilors, one each from the three city wards. Pickering has always been located along a major transportation corridor. In the days of the First Nations it was at the terminus of the Toronto Portage. When Asa Danforth built the first roadway through Pickering in 1799 it connected York with Kingston. Travel by roadway, despite constant improvements, was chancey until at least the 1830s, and transportation on the lake was preferable for travelling great distances. Settlers followed blazed footpaths and usually had to clear a path before them to accommodate their wagons or ox carts. Some corduroy roads were built in swampy areas, but these were more for the removal of pine trees for export than for regular travel. The first north-south route, Brock Road, following an old Indian trail, was opened in 1808, although it would be many more years before travel on it could be considered safe and assured—especially in the spring and fall when the track was full of mud. The Brock Road connected the Quaker settlements of Pickering Village, Uxbridge and Newmarket. It also paved the way for the development of the Pickering hinterland. Several villages were cited along the Brock Road and on the concession road allowances: Brock Road, Thompson's Corners, Whitevale, Brougham, Greenwood, Claremont, and others. In the second half of the nineteenth century travel conditions were much improved. The Kingston Road was now passable in every season although travellers had to pay a toll at the Rouge River. The Brock Road was improved in 1860. But the greatest improvement in travel came with the opening of the Grand Trunk Railway in 1856. This made travel of people and goods safer, quicker, easier, and more reliable. Pickering eventually had four railways running through the township. The Ontario and Quebec Railway 5 " " Company constructed a line that passed just to the north of Claremont and Balsam. This line was leased to the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1884. It had stations at Atha, North Claremont and Balsam. A second CP line ran east and west roughly across the third and fourth concessions; its only Pickering station was at Cherrywood. The Canadian Northern Railway was opened in 1911 with one east bound and one west bound train daily and stations at Cherrywood, Brock Road, and Greenburn (south of Greenwood). The line was discontinued and the tracks lifted in 1936. Go trains started in 1967. The old Pickering station west of Pickering Village was razed and a new one built at the northeast corner of Bayly Street and Liverpool Road. The coming of the automobile created another major change, and Pickering citizens took to it with alacrity. Few could afford the luxury at first, but with the creation of the production line cars became more affordable to larger numbers. The car provided a freedom never before experienced and it had a profound effect on many aspects of life. The demand for better roads was quickly voiced. Kingston Road was paved in 1921 and Highway 7 which had been laid out in 1922, was paved in 1934. Highway 401 was built in the 1950s, and, at present, Highway 407 is being built through Pickering as far as Brock Road at Brougham. The earliest schools were conducted in homes. Mary Rattan Matthews, for example, taught her own children and those of her neighbours in her own home. Francis Leys opened his Pickering Village home for a school as well. Pickering's first clerk, Thomas Hubbard, established a voluntary school on the Fifth Concession Road at Brock Road. In time log schools were built when the population was large enough to warrant it. But until mid-century the schools were unregulated, poorly financed, and run on an entirely voluntary basis. With the passing of the Public School Act of 1846 under the Reform Government, schools became regulated. The Act bound the province to provide free education for all children to the age of 16. The man who presided over the implementation of the Act was J. George Hodgins who served as deputy superintendent of education in Ontario from the 1850s until 1876, and as deputy minister until 1890. As part of his policy attractive, functional schoolhouses were constructed across the province. In most of Pickering's 17 school sections and the three union school sections it shared with Whitby, new schools were built. Most of these would last until well into the second half of the twentieth century. Wherever possible qualified teachers were hired — most boarded in the neighbourhood. Pickering had its own superintendent of schools by 1854. Having finished public school Pickering children were forced to go outside of the township if they wished to attend high school until the period of the continuation schools brought limited secondary education to isolated regions. Claremont Continuation School opened in 1914, Pickering Continuation School in 1923. Students then went to Scarborough or Whitby to finish high school until Pickering District High School opened in 1951. When subdivisions began to sprout up beginning in the 1960s they were accompanied by the construction of new schools. Schoolbuses, which had been used sporadically from the 1940s, now became more extensively used. Portables were introduced in the 1970s when larger populations overtook the existing schools. Programs, too, were changed to meet the needs of a newer society. For example, the French immersion program was introduced in the 1980s. In the late nineteenth century Pickering boasted one of the foremost educational institutions of its time in Canada. This was Pickering College, a co-educational secondary school run by the Canada Yearly Meeting of the Society of Friends (Quakers). It had begun in Prince Edward County as the West Lake Boarding School in 1841. After closing for some years it was reopened in Pickering in 1878. It drew students not only from across Canada but from countries abroad as well. Unfortunately, the main building was destroyed by fire during the Christmas holidays in 1905. Since Pickering by that time had very few Friends still living in the area, the school moved to Newmarket at its reopening in 1908. In the early years of settlement cultural opportunities were few, but not unknown. Some immigrants were so desirous of having some cultural refinements even in their primitive dwellings that they went to considerable trouble to bring accoutrements with them. As early as 6 " " the 1830s neighbours of Charles Fothergill in Pickering Village could view paintings in his home in Pickering Village which he had brought with him when he immigrated to Upper Canada, as well as works he had been creating in his new country since his arrival in 1817. They could also see the natural history specimens he was collecting — including a stuffed alligator. All of this was to form the core of an art gallery and natural history museum he advocated establishing in the Town of York. While he did not achieve this goal he did participate, as a Pickering resident, in the very first art exhibition in Ontario in 1835. Another early immigrant to bring artwork from the old country was Ebenezer Birrell. Birrell came from Scotland where he had been a parchment maker and land surveyor. While he was only an amateur artist it is obvious that he had taken some lessons in painting. Birrell became almost immediately immersed in the affairs of his new community — he was a commissioner, justice of the peace, president of the Ontario County Agricultural Society, superintendent of schools, elder and session clerk of the Claremont Presbyterian Church, and Lieut-Col of the Third Battalion of the Ontario Militia. Despite fulfilling these offices, and working as a full-time farmer, he still found time to paint. He also promoted the arts by participating in local art exhibitions both as an exhibitor and as a judge. Pickering's artistic tradition continues to this day. In recent years a number of internationally known artists have made Pickering their home. Some, like Ron and Lynda Baird, Marc Barrie, and Bill Lishman, now live close by but no longer in Pickering; others like Peter Buerschaper, Edward Falkenberg and Dorsey James still make Pickering their home. The Pine Ridge Arts Council was created to promote the arts in Pickering and surrounding communities. It helps to bring awareness of a vibrant community of all the arts including dance, theatre and music. In 1959, Cleeve and Jean Horne, distinguished Toronto artists, built themselves a magnificent home on the Eighth Concession of Pickering Township. It was meant to be a weekend retreat home for the family, but it was anything but a temporary abode. The home has won international acclaim for its design. Cleeve Horne was noted for his work both in sculpture and in portrait painting. Jean was the first woman in Canada to apply techniques of welding in her sculptures. It is well known that Tom Thomson — arguably Canada's best known artist — was born in a little stone cottage just east of Claremont. However, he was a mere babe-inarms when he left with his family to move to Leith where he grew up. Nevertheless, Pickering has every reason to celebrate the birthplace of this noted artist whose grandfather had immigrated to Pickering from Scotland. George, an older brother of Tom's was also an accomplished artist, although far less known. If in the pioneer years social activities were few, by century's end the township had found its sense of enjoyment. At an earlier time the church had provided most of the opportunities for social intercourse. Now other associations — lodges, temperance unions, sports teams, even villages themselves — were opening up other avenues of activity. There were individual activities like skating, tennis and bicycling to enjoy. Families might indulge in a game of croquet when they got together. Football (soccer) was organized into community teams that vied with one another, and village bands entertained on special occasions. At this time as well, several cottage communities were established in Pickering Township, and the area became a recreational centre with Torontonian vacationers discovering the Bay. The cottage communities were Rosebank, Fairport Beach (originally Dunbarton Shores), Fairport Village, Squire's Beach, and Pickering Beach. So popular was Rosebank as a summer resort that it eventually had its own train station and was served by seven passenger trains as well as Picnic Specials. It also had its own post office from 1916. During the present century Pickering staged some special events. In 1911 the township celebrated its centennial with a big party in Brougham complete with a grand concert, a large choir, sporting events, and addresses by special guests and local politicians. As well, the Rev William R. Wood prepared the first published history of Pickering — Past Years in Pickering 7 " "— as a memorial. A four-day event was staged in 1961 to celebrate the sesqui-centennial. Among the special events were a carnival, bus tours and the largest parade Pickering Township had thus far witnessed. Another history of Pickering was published for this event: the Rev William McKay's The Pickering Story. Several festivals have now become annual events: Canada Day celebrations, a full day of activities at Kinsmen Park culminating in a display of fireworks, the Frenchman's Bay Festival in June and the Whitevale Festival in the spring. As the century draws to a close Pickering residents enjoy recreation facilities of all kinds including city parks, conservation areas, arenas, golf courses, beaches, and a recreational complex. As this book is being prepared a new Millennium Trail is being built along the lakeshore which will provide a great variety of activities as well as a celebration of our cultural and natural heritage. Three branches of the trail will converge at the foot of Liverpool Road. One branch, to be known as the First Nations Trail, moves eastward from the Rouge River and will honour our aboriginal heritage. From Duffin's Creek westward the Peak Trail will celebrate the period of European settlement. The Monarch Trail, which circles Frenchman's Bay, will recognize the importance of the delicate ecosystems of the bay and its marshes. The Millennium Square where the trails meet will be a centre of attraction for citizens and tourists alike. Families have always been the backbone of Pickering. The first families that settled Pickering were mostly of British and Irish origin with a sprinkling of German and French. They were all Christian in their faith. Some First Nations' people continued to live in Pickering until near the end of the nineteenth century, but their presence has not been well documented. In the latter decades of the twentieth century Pickering has taken on a more cosmopolitan character with people emigrating from various parts of the globe. There is now a more diverse mix of peoples by country of origin, race and religious beliefs. There are still a few families who can trace their lineage back to the pioneer era. Among them are the Willsons, Wards, Clarks, and O'Connors. Families come and go from Pickering, but many have remained here for many years and others have come here because of Pickering's special character. Despite pressures it still maintains a rural character. It is close to the big city, but still keeps its distance. It is close to major transportation, has a growing economy, and a full range of services and social opportunities. When the citizens found their way of life threatened in the 1970s by the proposal to build an airport they responded in full measure. In the spirit of 1837 they mobilized and formed People or Planes — an informal group that led the opposition to the federal plan. They put up signs, wrote letters, held parades and festivals, and staged media events including a mock trial. They succeeded to the point that a final decision was postponed indefinitely. But the issue at the end of the century is still not dead. VOCAL (Voters Organized to Cancel the Airport Lands) has taken over from POP and leads the new opposition. Having learned that mass protest is indeed effective, and having learned how to present their case before governments at various levels, Pickering citizens have taken up other causes dear to their hearts, most notably the opposition to the creation of a mega dump in Pickering. In this they were successful, but they did not succeed in blocking the building of a new super highway — the 407— through the heart of the city. As we enter a new epoch and reflect upon our collective heritage, it seems appropriate to consider the full range of Pickering's history. Just as new cultures add to the diversity of our present many people have called this land home in the past. Today, they all comprise the story of Pickering, and each deserves an honored place in our celebration of the Millennium. 8 " " Our first residents, & those with the longest tenure on the land we now call Pickering, were the First Nations. Ironically, it is they who have left the least signs in passing. To understand their history we must investigate the archaeological record. 1 Seneca effigy comb of bone or antler recovered from the burial site at Gandatsetiagon. 2 Artist's reconstruction of a Late Terminal Woodland Iroquois village at the Draper Site, dated c1500, on Lots 29 & 30, Con 8. 3 Restored fired-clay vessel from the Miller Site. 4 17th century French drawing of an Iroquois longhouse. 9 " "First Nations Heritage Artifacts recovered from the Miller Site, location of an Early Ontario Iroquois village c1125 (Lot 20, Con 3). 1 Adze made from schist; used as a chisel or hafted like a hoe. 2,3 Awls made from bone or antler & used for punching holes in leather & other materials. 4 A drilled plastron (shell) of a Blanding's turtle that may have been part of a rattle. 5 Various potsherds from ceramic vessels.

French trade goods such as beads, copper & a Jesuit ring have been found at Gandatsetiagon, & we can only hope that further investigation will reveal more of this shadowy period in our community's heritage. 1 Map of Rene Francois Brehant de Gallinee, 1669-70.
