Photo YMCA Gordon Street
I found this add in the DIAMOND JUBILEE 1876 - 1936 publication in our archives (SHGV) yesterday. Of course the building was demolished years ago but I have distinct recollection of this building having frequented it in the early 40s. Me and my friends would use the pool (naked) and shoot pool. I also recall the dances complete with orchestra and singer, don't forget this was the big band era. I don't think there are many members who would recall this building unless they are in my age group. Perhaps someone call tell me the year it was demolished. I think it was Les who published photos of the inside of the building a while back, if so, Les could you repost them, this time I will enter them in my computer. More pictures to come from same publication.

Wharf Behind Natatorium Detaches
A section of the wharf behind the Natatorium detached and floated down river but luckely was recuperated by the contracttor who has the contract to repair and store the wharf. As previously mentioned, there are 2 floating docks, One at the foot of Brault and the other behind the Natatorium. You will always find some fishermen on these wharfs as shown on enclosed photo. Subject from the Messager de Verdun.
