Hi
Just heard that four letter word Sxxx is on the way..depends where you are. GTA not sure of how much maybe 5-10 tonite and again tomorrow. West of GTA could be 5-10 or so..guess it depends on how cold it gets..but hey remember it was worse back home...always like to watch the people panic here when it snows..like you never seen it before.

Now that wiwnter is officially here, I thought it appropriate to post this page of the winter edition of our SHGV revue. I am sure old time Verdunites like myself recognise these winter playgrounds. Guy
Great pics Guy,.the one of Woodland Park ( the rink) is in one of the photo albums ( I think) ,......Still neat to see,............ You know I don't really Remember the slide,.yet everyone else does,.....I Recall seeing some huge green snowslides,but I thought they were in Lasalle,...??? maybe they were all over Montreal for kids to play on.............................. Thanks for the Input HF&RV
HI! The memories came flooding in. Did we ever take off when our toboggan hit the bottom of that Toboggan Slide's icy run! Around Christmas /Winter 1945, we used to climb those stairs in the dark , on our ice skates, crouch and roar down the runs! What a rush it was. (Late and after the lights were turned off, with everyone gone home) We'd skate home on icy roads! Ahh, those were the daze! Sez Victah
Guy Does anyone remember when that building beside the red top burned down. It was for the tennis. You could feel the heat from it a street or two away. Ron.
This winter post reminded me of long johns. Do any of you old guys remember those pickly things with the flap in the back? My foster mum always dressed me in those as soon as it started to get cold. I hated them!—for about a day I'd squirm around in them until either my skin got used to it or the prickly stuff went away, whichever. T.G.I.F., fellow Verdunites! Jack
Jack, We used to call them Penmans underwear, made of wool, boy they were warm. Guy
Ron, I am not aware of the fire you mention. I would like to know more about it for our archives. There must be some photos around of this building. Guy
Warm, Guy, but itchy. Jack
Hi Guy Great photos...in message 2 do you see the old Police cars in the bottom right..I think thats what they are. Does anyone remember going up to Beaver Lake taking the 66 or 65 I think and going downhill.... Lad
