The Ontario Tree Seed Plant was 

established by the Department of Lands 

and Forests and has operated continuously 

on its current site in Angus since 1923. The 

Plant is currently operated by the Ministry 

of Natural Resources with a mandate to 

preserve and provide source appropriate 

tree seed for reforestation across Ontario. 

The facility collects seed from about 

50 different species and supplies nursery 

operations, forestry companies, and the 

public. It also maintains the provincial 

tree seed bank of native tree species 

from across the province. The Seed Plant 

is especially well equipped to carry out 

extraction for coniferous species as well 

as cleaning and testing for all native tree 

species. 

With particular attention to Ontario’s 

varied geo-climatic Seed Zones the Seed 

Plant staff ensure an adequate supply of 

genetically appropriate seed for zones 

Ontario Tree Seed Plant 

141 King Street 

across the province. With a long proud 

history in the Angus community and 

across the province, the Seed Plant is 

well positioned for the future contributing 

to Ontario’s commitment to forest 

regeneration and conserving biological 

diversity.

An AMG (angus Media Group) Initiative 


From the Beginning... 

The Kingdom of Great Britian acquired the colony of 

“Canada” from France in 1763, followed in 1791 by the 

“Constitutional Act” which created Upper (now southern 

Ontario) and Lower (now south eastern Quebec) Canada. 

John Graves Simcoe was the first Lieutenant Governor of 

Upper Canada, after whom Simcoe County was named. 

In the early 1800’s our area was part of “The Pine Plains” 

as it was a vast forest with stands of white and red pine 

of 150 to 200 feet tall, and was mostly inhabited by First 

Nation peoples. After this time, immigration to Canada 

expanded with many of those from Great Britain arriving in 

Upper Canada, and seeking their futures in the rural lands 

to the north of Toronto. 

As settlement pushed northwest, so did the first road 

from Barrie. “Sunnidale Road” to the Nottawasaga River 

(Sunnidale – Essa Townline) was surveyed and built in 1833, 

becoming simply a rough wagon track through the forest. A 

ferry was used to cross the river, followed shortly by a log 

bridge (the current iron bridge, known as the Elliott Bridge, 

near William Elliott’s farm). Also in 1833, the government 

surveyed a village at this end of Sunnidale Road to be 

called “Rippon”. The plan laid out lots and streets on both 

sides of the Nottawasaga River and included a town square 

and market place; however the scheme was abandoned 

later the same year. 

Settlement advanced slowly for the next 20 years as 

travel was limited to horse, wagon, or by foot. During this 

time occurred the Rebellion of Lower Canada in 1837 – 

1838 and Great Britain recommended the merging of Upper 

and Lower Canada, and the “Act of Union 1840” thereby 

created the “Province of Canada”. 

A few grist and saw mills were scattered about, on the 

Pine, Mad, and Nottawasaga Rivers, and more settlers 

started to arrive. In 1852 a 200 acre tract of pine land, 

in the neighborhood of one such Pine River saw mill, was 

purchased by Jonas Tar Bush for $100. After much lobbying 

in the Province, a railway was approved to link the capital 

city of Toronto with Georgian Bay. The Northern Railway 

line to Allandale (Barrie) was completed in 1853 and on to 

Collingwood in 1855, passing by the saw mill on the Pine 

River. Reliable transportation would often play an important 

role in the development of communities like the village of 

“Pine River”. 

In 1857 J. Tar Bush partnered with W. Proudfoot and 

published a map laying out lots and streets in what was then 

renamed “Angus”, after Angus Morrison the first Member of 

Parliament of Simcoe County. The years that followed saw 

the rapid expansion of the lumber industry with up to 17 

saw mills in the larger area, and most of that lumber being 

transported to the railway station in Angus. It is said that 

at times upward of 12 trains a week left Angus for shipment 

as masts and spars to His Majesty’s Royal Navy. Jonas Tar 

Bush donated land for local churches and a school. At one 

time there were 5 hotels, 4 dancehalls, 2 liquor stores, 5 

general stores, 2 tailors, 2 

photographers, a flour and 

feed store, drug store, bake 

shop, and saddle and harness 

shop in this railroad village. 

The dawn of July 1, 

1867 saw “Canadian 

Confederation” bring together 

the 4 provinces of Ontario, 

Quebec, New Brunswick and 

Nova Scotia, being federally 

united as the “Dominion of 

Canada”. 

A branch line of the 

Hamilton and Northwestern 

Railway was built in 1878 from 


...A History of Angus 

and many area reforestation projects (1924). 

The Angus Community Park (Huron Street & King 

Street) opened in 1929, and on July 1 hosted celebrations 

of Dominion Day, now Canada Day, with fireworks in the 

evening. The Angus Horticultural Society was formed in 

1929, and their members have provided many significant 

projects to the benefit of Angus and it’s residents since that 

time. 

Beeton to Collingwood, cutting off much of the shipping via 

Angus. This marked the peak of prosperity of Angus, and 

now that most pine trees had been cleared, there was a 

slow decline during the 1880’s and 1890’s. Transportation 

had again affected the community, this time negatively, 

slowly reducing the number of businesses until 1901, when 

only the drug store remained. 

After 1910 Angus started to grow again, aided with the 

opening of Camp Borden (1916); becoming a “police village” 

(1920); building of the Ontario Forestry Seed Plant (1923); 

Essa Centennial Library was a community fund raising 

project in 1965, being completed and opened at Mill and 

King Streets, in Canada’s Centennial year. The Angus 

Arena was also a local fund raising project, which was 

opened in 1977. The first Santa Claus parade was held in 

1978. The Angus Business Improvement Area (BIA) was 

established in 1995, having provided in partnership with the 

Horticultural Society, beautification projects such as flower 

planters, benches, waste containers, and street banners. 

The Clock Tower and Gardens were built in 2002, and the 

Peacekeepers Park in 2005. 

In 2016, the population of Angus approaches 10,000 

and the community continues to prosper. New roads, 

bridges, intersections, public transportation, parks and 

trails contribute to the appeal of living in a small, friendly 

community. Local employment is offered at Honda, Decast 

(formerly Munro Concrete), other manufacturing and many 

retail opportunities, as well as on CFB Borden. Angus 

provides a high quality of life, with most daily needs just 

around the corner or down the street, and larger urban 

centres such as Alliston, Barrie, and Toronto are all within 

easy reach. 


2016 - 100th Anniversary 

Camp Borden / Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Borden 

In the summer of 1916, almost 60 years 

after J. Tar Bush and W. Proudfoot laid out 

streets & building lots in what was then 

called the village of “Pine River” (renamed 

Angus in 1857), Camp Borden was officially 

opened by Sir Sam Hughes, the Minister of 

Militia and Defense. Camp Borden was 

named after Sir Frederick Borden, the 

Minister of Militia from 1896 to 1911. 

Canada, as a colony of Britain, had 

been providing forces to the efforts of the 

First World War in Europe. Since war 

had broken out in 1914, the Government 

of Canada was faced with the task of 

training large bodies of men. The country 

was searched for suitable “camp sites”. 

The sand plains of Simcoe County were 

selected for Ontario due to their central 

location, accessibility, good water supply, 

and the sandy nature of the soil which is 

essential for good drainage. 

By early 1916, the Canadian government 

had assumed the 20 square mile (12,000 

acre) tract of land west of Barrie for use 

as a training ground for the much needed 

troops of the Canadian Expeditionary 

Force. After the Simcoe Foresters (157th 

Battalion) cleared the land and constructed 

the camp, it was soon occupied by almost 

32,000 troops. 

Over the course of the First World War, 

Camp Borden trained more than half of the 

650,000 troops who served in the Canadian 

Expeditionary Force. Many of those went 

on to fight in the Battle of Vimy Ridge in 

1917. 

Camp Borden had over 11 miles of 

training trenches built to provide the 

soldiers of the First World War with the 

realities in the European campaigns such 

as the Battle of Vimy Ridge (ending in 

April 1917). The training conducted here 

prepared soldiers for the new concept of 

“Trench Warfare”. November 11, 2011 

(Remembrance Day) marked the unveiling 

of the recently restored training trench in 

CFB Borden. 

During 2016 there will be many 

significant events taking place in and 

around the now Canadian Forces Base 

(CFB) Borden to commemorate the 100th 

anniversary. Centennial Chairperson, Rick 

Kurtzer, and the organizing committee 

have been planning the celebrations for the 

past two years. Events include a Freedom 

of the City Parade, Patriating of Vimy 

Battleground Soil Ceremony, Memorial 

Wall Unveiling, Centennial Ball, Armed 

Forces Day & Air Show, Quarter-Guard 

Ceremonies, Peacekeepers Day Parade, 

and Remembrance Day. A commemorative 

coin for the Centennial has been made and 

is available for purchase at the CAN-EX 

store and the Base Museum is compiling 

a history book.

Pinewoods Chapel 

Pinewoods Chapel is a Christian 

Community Church that was started 

in Angus in 1961. It has been a 

fixture in the community through its 

programming and care of people 

in Angus over the years. In our 

new location we will continue to be 

involved in the Community of Angus 

through our support of Community 

programs such as: Al-anon, Good 

Food Box, The Door, The Early Years 

Center and the Breakfast Programs 

at local schools. Our new site will 

have many amenities that will be 

useful for the community of Angus.

The Blackdown Cadet Training Centre 

(BCTC) is Canada’s largest Cadet training 

centre. Throughout the year, BCTC provides 

unique and challenging training opportunities 

to Ontario’s 17,000+ members of the Royal 

Canadian Sea, Army and Air Cadets and plays 

host to countless members of the Reserve 

Forces and civilian police service organizations 

who also use the diverse facilities to conduct 

their own training. 

Nestled in the South-west corner of CFB 

Borden, Blackdown supports the training of 

more than 27,000 visitors. 3200 course cadets, 

240 staff cadets, and 230 adult staff are annually 

housed and trained during the summer period, 

while nearly 15,000 others will participate in 

training at BCTC during the rest of the training 

year along with over 4,000 external personnel. 

The Blackdown Cadet Training Centre is 

almost entirely self-contained with sleeping 

quarters for up to 2400 personnel, its own 

kitchen and dining hall, laundry, medical 

inspection facility, parade square, air rifle 

range, abseil tower, sports fields, confidence 

course, rope bridge & traverse site, basketball 

& volleyball courts, two air conditioned band 

buildings, a large canteen, and a myriad of 

trails for hiking. During summer operations, 

Blackdown also boasts its own medical staff, 

Military Police and Fire Detachments. 

Blackdown’s mission is to contribute to the 

development and preparation of youth for the 

transition to adulthood, enabling them to meet 

the challenges of modern society and become 

the leaders of tomorrow through a dynamic 

series of fun, challenging, well-organized and 

safe activities. 

These cadets travel from all over the 

province to take part in specialty training 

courses where they will expand their knowledge 

and leadership skills. These graduates then 

bring these new skills back home to be leaders 

in their cadet units, their schools, families, and 

their communities. The courses offered at the 

training centre include: general training, music, 

sports and fitness, survival and expedition, 

as well as drill & ceremonial, and leadership 

courses. 

The training centre actively participates in 

numerous community service & citizenship 

initiatives in the local area. Whether it is 

assisting with park & trail clean ups or providing 

bands and music for parades & ceremonies or 

supporting local charity runs and campaigns 

or even just coming out to cheer on the local 

sports teams, there is a very strong community 

connection between Blackdown and the 

surrounding area. 

“Blackdown is the home of Canada’s 

Finest” says Lieutenant-Colonel Jack Kelly, 

the Training Centre’s Commanding Officer. 

“These cadets learn skills that will apply to any 

career they choose. Building attributes like 

teamwork, communication, teaching, planning, 

The Blackdown Cadet 

Training Centre 

and leadership are solid foundations for these 

leaders of tomorrow no matter where they end 

up. “ 

Stay in touch with Blackdown to see what 

these amazing youth are accomplishing by 

liking our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ 

cstcblackdown and make a plan to come out 

to our impressive Sunset Ceremony held on a 

beautiful Friday evening every August.

Convenient, Conscientious, Confidential

Since 1947, over 160,000 members of Canada’s 

Armed Forces, Police Services and Diplomatic service 

have served on United Nations sanctioned missions 

around the world. Peacekeepers’ Park was created to 

recognize the service of Canadians who have served, past 

and present. The park memorializes the 283 Canadians 

who were killed while serving. This includes the 158 who 

died in Afghanistan. The park and stone plaque have just 

been registered in the National Inventory of Canadian 

Military Memorials. 

Major planned expansion will recognize all missions. 

We are seeking contributions from all levels of Canadians; 

from individuals to corporations. Our association is a notfor-profit 

organization and therefore cannot issue receipts 

for income tax purposes. Contributions of over $71,000 

to date have permitted construction of a Wall of Honour 

to commemorate those who have given their lives in the 

Service of Peace. 

The 2 1/2 acre property in Angus has been leased 

from the Township of Essa. The township maintains the 

park. The Peacekeepers’ Association is partnered in 

this endeavor with The Royal Canadian Legion (Edward 

Macdonald Branch 499) in Angus and the Township of 

Essa. What better way to commemorate those who made 

the ultimate sacrifice and to acknowledge all who have 

served under the UN banner. 

This ambitious project needs to raise sufficient funds to 

complete the next phase of the park. The funds raised will 

be used exclusively for the construction and maintenance 

of the park. We are reaching out to individuals, groups, 

service clubs and organizations for their help with this very 

worthwhile project. All contributions, no matter how big or 

small are gratefully accepted. Those making a donation 

of $1,000 or more will be recognized as a ‘Friend of 

Peacekeepers’ Park’, a list that has grown steadily over 

the past few years. These names will be inscribed on a 

section of the wall. A contributor may choose to have an 

engraved plaque placed on a bench. The benches, with a 

plaque, are available for $1,600 each. They will be placed 

strategically around the pathway (wheelchair accessible) 

bordering the 18 pedestals that will record the 61 missions 

Canadians have served on since 1947. Pedestals may 

also be purchased for $1,400 each. 

To make a donation, or for more information on this 

significant fundraising effort, and community project, 

please contact the project coordinator Bob George at 

gayle.bobgeorge@rogers.com or 705-796-3748. We 

hope you will take this opportunity to make a difference 

in helping to expand Peacekeepers’ Park, which will stand 

for generations to come. 

Come on out on August 9 for Peacekeepers Day at the park. 

All welcome! Peacekeepers Day is a nationally recognized 

day of remembrance since 2008.

In 1920 Angus became a Police Village, 

in 1923 the Ontario Forestry Tree Seed Plant 

was built, in 1926 volunteers applied to the 

province to form a horticultural society. While 

waiting they created the Angus Community 

Park across from the Seed plant. 

In 1929 the “Angus Horticultural Society” 

was officially formed. Monthly meetings 

were held at the Seed Plant. Some original 

members have descendants still living in 

Angus. 

During the 1930’s the Society fundraised 

to purchase connecting land to the existing 

cemetery. Trees and brush were cleared to 

create the “Angus Union Cemetery” located 

on Vernon Street. 

In 1937 members created a garden 

on Curtis Street to honour the Coronation 

of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, 

parents of our present Queen. A Union Jack 

was raised, a dated stone laid, trees planted 

and a WWI artillery gun was placed. Over 

years, the gun was sold and the stone was 

lost. In 2002, the original stone was found, 

re-dedicated and officially named the “Old 

Stone” Garden. Some original trees are still 

alive at this location. 

In 1938 the Society purchased land 

through fundraising and donations to build 

a War Memorial honouring residents who 

died in WWI. The Cenotaph stands today 

honouring all residents who died in wars. 

Since 2000, the following gardens were 

created: Millennium Gardens, Farewell 

Gardens, Clock Tower Gardens/Gazebo 

and Peace Gardens at the Nottawasaga 

Bridge. 27 Flowering Crab Apple Trees have 

been planted with our “Angel” fundraiser. 

The Clock Tower Gardens won 1st prize 

for Communities in Bloom 2013 and the 

International Plowing Match 2014.

Drysdale’s Tree Farms... 

A destination for the seasons 

For the past 90 years the Drysdale family has been synonymous with 

good forest stewardship. From 1926 by Reg Drysdale, then by son Doug, 

and grandson Doug Jr. During this time, Christmas trees have been grown 

on their farms in Flos, Whitchurch-Stouffville, West Gwillimbury, and Essa 

Township. Reg was a teacher turned tree farmer, Doug a Forester graduate 

from the University of Toronto (1955), and Doug Jr. also a graduate of U 

of T (1980). Reg was a founding member of the Christmas Tree Growers 

Association of Ontario in 1951, and served on the board of directors for 35 

years. He was inducted into both the Simcoe County and the Ontario (1997) 

Agricultural Halls of Fame. 

The “cut your own” concept of tree sales at Ballantrae (Whitchurch- 

Stouffvile Township) in 1958, was added to traditional wholesale of trees 

to tree lot retailers across North America. This marketing initiative created 

memories of family outings in the country to obtain a Christmas tree. The 400 

acre farm in Essa Township has carried that on, and now approximately 50% 

of the visitors are tourists from more than 40 km away. In 1984 landscape 

trees and services were added to the offerings of Drysdale’s. Wedding, 

family, and corporate events are also offered, ranging from 1800 to 5500 sq 

ft. Drysdale’s employs 30 regular staff, and up to 100 staff during the busy 

Christmas weekends. In 1990 and 2003, Drysdale’s was Best Tree Farm in 

Canada. 

• Christmas Weekend Festivities (no admission fee) Cut-Your-Own tree, 

horse-drawn wagon rides, The Evergreen Store, Santa & Mrs Claus, 

magician, train rides, face-painters, and more. Each weekend of 

December, until Christmas. 

• Drysdale’s Easter Egg Hunt (admission fee) Wagon Ride, Easter Egg 

Hunt, Face-painting, and Treat Bags. Easter weekend.

disabilities. We are just south of Angus off 

Simcoe County Road 10. Our property is a 

picturesque and scenic collage of farmland 

and mature forests bordering the Nottawasaga 

River. Camphill provides opportunities for 

people of all abilities to achieve their potential 

through Living, Learning and Working Together.

life of the community. 

With such a beautiful natural resource, 

stewardship of the environment is an important 

responsibility and we take great care to ensure 

that all development is in harmony with nature. 

Work on the land, farm and gardens is an 

important part of that stewardship. 

Our garden produces a wide variety of 

organically grown vegetables which are sold 

at the Barrie Farmers Market on Saturday 

mornings. We also have several bee hives to 

help with fertility and plant vitality. A herd of 

22 Highland cows graze the fields. Managed 

forests provide wood for milling on the sawmill, 

wood working shop, firewood and maple syrup. 

Several kilometers of hiking trails weave 

throughout the woods and fields across the 

nearly 300 acres interspersed with deep ravines 

and streams. 

In addition to the work of keeping 5 

households and 5 apartments in tip top 

shape, there are other work opportunities 

which build and cultivate numerous integrated 

skills: Pottery/Ceramic production, Wood 

working, Weaving, Artistic activities, gardening, 

animal husbandry, forestry, upkeep of the 

landscaping, herb production which grows and 

packages seasonings. Most of the products 

we make are available for sale at our regular 

Craft Fairs held in the spring, fall and winter.

Edible Essa 

Since 2014, Essa Public Library has 

been privileged to host the local Edible 

Essa Conversation: Edible Essa is a push to 

encourage everyone to take part in our local 

food system. 

In 2015, with the support of Essa Township 

and a Gro1000 Grant, Edible Essa grew 

new Community Gardens at the Angus Food 

Bank and the Angus Branch of Essa Public 

Library. The gardens are complimented by a 

Kitchen Library, a Seed Library and Lifelong 

Learning gardening talks at the public library. 

These efforts earned the Simcoe County Food 

Charter Award for Best Community-Based Food 

Development Program. 

Edible Essa is currently exploring the 

creation of a local Farmers’ Market and 

additional sites for Community Gardens to 

compliment efforts already underway at Angus 

Food Bank, Camphill, Essa Public Library and 

Living Faith Community Presbyterian Church in 

Baxter. 

Join the conversation! 

This Community Group includes the Angus 

Food Bank, Aware Essa, Camphill, The Door 

Youth Centre, Essa Public Library, Essa 

Township, Friends of the Utopia Mill & Park, 

Happy Hens of Utopia, Hilltop Organic Co-op, 

Moondance Organic Gardens, Pinewoods 

Chapel, Simcoe-Muskoka District Health 

Unit, and other local groups, businesses and 

gardeners.

Utopia... 

Being True to its Name 

The agricultural roots of both past 

and present are spreading in leaps and 

bounds in the rural hamlet of Utopia and 

across Essa Township. Driven with the long 

term vision of preserving and celebrating 

agriculture and naturalized greenspaces 

in our community, the effort that is backing 

this up includes the restoration of Bell’s 

Gristmill, caring for the Utopia Conservation 

Area and renewing the Utopia Community 

Centre (now known as the “Utopia Hall”) as 

the activity hub for “all things Utopian”. 

At the Utopia Conservation Area, Phase 

I of the restoration of Bell’s Gristmill began 

in 2015 focusing on structural and exterior 

improvements with more work to be done 

into the future. The orchard, created 

through an Edible Trees grant from Tree 

Canada, will be entering its 3rd full season, 

supported with surrounding native plants 

to welcome bees and other pollinators to 

both do their work and have a meal. And 

a fabulous walking trail has been created, 

tended through the devoted, grooming 

attention of a very special volunteer who 

takes great pride in creating such a special 

place for all to come, walk and enjoy. 

Down the road at the Utopia Hall, 

it’s also a happening place. Whether 

it’s a fun movie night or a great concert 

featuring the extraordinary talents of 

travelling and local musicians who stop by 

to share their harmonies, the atmosphere 

is welcoming and at-home-comfortable. 

Food celebrations are becoming even 

more creative now with the addition of a 

commercial community kitchen, supported 

through Farm Credit Canada, allowing 

for food entrepreneurs to have access 

to a food-creating venue to further their 

work. The Utopia Hall is also the place to 

be every Saturday morning from 10am – 

noon when the Happy Hens of Utopia fill 

your cup with freshly brewed coffee and 

tea and put on a spread of home-baked 

bread topped (or not) with yummy jams 

& jellies and local eggs, along with the 

sharing of stories of the many happenings 

of near and far. Add annual events such as 

SEEDY SATURDAY, the Compost Sale, 

Canada Day celebration, the Gristmill 

Run, the Sunflower Harvest Festival, 

SOUPALICIOUS UTOPIA and SANTA 

PAWS and your “what to do” questions are 

solved. 

Come out and join us as we celebrate 

our life in Utopia and Essa Township; 

everyone is warmly welcome.

Did YOU Know? 

Christmas Tree Day (first Saturday in December) 

was enacted by the Provincial Government in 2015, 

following the initiative and work of MPP Jim Wilson 

& the members of the Christmas Tree Growers 

Association of Ontario.

Angus Transit 

New to the Township of Essa in 2013 is the transit service connecting 

Borden and Angus to the City of Barrie. This new service comes as a result 

of a transit feasibility study conducted in 2011 which gathered residents’ 

feedback to determine if a transit system was needed. The bus service takes 

residents directly to the Allandale GO station in Barrie. Residents will then 

need to transfer to the Barrie Transit system to get to their destination within 

Barrie. 

If you are looking to board the bus to take you to your destination, then 

keep your eyes posted. Blue and white signs have been strategically placed 

within Borden and Angus to help identify where the bus stops are in your area. 

Bus passes are available at the Economic Development Centre located in 

the Angus Recreation Centre. For more information on fares please refer to 

our Fee Schedule. 

The transit service is something the Township of Essa wishes to grow on 

and expand in the future. Please communicate any feedback you may have to 

assist us in improving the transit service by contacting the Executive Assistant 

to the CAO and Manager of Public Works at 705-424-9770 extension 105 or 

by email llinton@essatownship.on.ca. 

For information on routes and locations 

of stops as well as fares and bus 

passes please visit the transit page at

Buy Local...Shop Angus 

On behalf of the local businesses 

in and around Angus, the Chamber of 

Commerce continues its “Buy Local, 

SHOP ANGUS” campaign. Local 

stores and businesses contribute 

greatly to the local economy and 

health of a community. 

Why shop at a locally 

owned or managed business 

first? 

Local businesses... 

• Are more likely to have local 

products and services. 

• Compete with friendlier customer 

service & competitive prices. 

• Provide local jobs to others 

& school co-op placement 

opportunities. 

• Contribute to local fund raising, 

sports, culture, and service 

clubs. 

• Pay significant property taxes 

which fund municipal services 

such as roads & parks. 

• Support other local businesses. 

• Have a vested interest in the 

good health of the community. 

Shopping local also means fewer 

miles driven in your car, using less of 

your valuable time and significantly 

reducing pollution. 

All of the points noted above attract 

growth which fosters greater diversity, 

competition, and helps Angus 

maintain its unique appeal. Look for 

the white “Angus & Area Chamber of 

Commerce” and the blue “Buy Local 

SHOP ANGUS” stickers where you 

shop or conduct business. 

We invite you to invest 

in your community!

The Angus Lions Club 

Since 1962 the Angus Lions have 

served the community of Angus and the 

surrounding areas. Made up of like minded 

volunteers our membership has tirelessly 

devoted itself to helping those in need. 

Our causes include local assistance for 

wheel chairs and walkers, supporting local 

organizations, Camp Dorset, Camp Joseph 

and international relief funds. 

We raise money through our regular 

community events such as Canada Day, 

Easter Pancake breakfast, Chili and Soup 

making competitions. We also run the 

Angus Arena concession stand evenings 

and weekends with all profit going to fund 

our programs. 

Our strong relationships with local 

businesses and government create an 

atmosphere of co-operation and support of 

events such as the Santa Claus parade and 

endeavors such as the Essa Library 

Our hall located on Mill St. on the banks 

of the Nottawasaga river, is host to a 

number of events such as weddings, parties 

and markets and can be rented at any time. 

We have a fully licensed bar and complete 

kitchen and can accommodate up to 100 

people. 

On the first Thursday of each month 

Lions joins together for our regular 

members meeting and dinner. Here we 

discuss correspondence, issues in the 

community and club, committee reports and 

just as important, we strengthen our bonds 

of friendship, good humour and common 

purpose. 

The Angus Lions always welcome 

guests to our dinner meetings, and 

encourage anyone who would like to “give 

back” to contact us and come on out to 

meet our members and consider joining our 

club. Each of us contributes in our own way 

and the feeling of satisfaction knowing you 

have helped is a rewarding and lasting one.

We welcome you to Essa Public Library, where top notch 

service is our priority. 

Our collection includes a range of material for leisure reading or 

informative research. All ages are welcome to browse the shelves, 

borrow books, magazines, dvds, video games, ebooks, Active Fun

Since 2014, EPL has been privileged to host the local Edible 

Essa Conversation: a push to encourage everyone to take part in 

our local food system. In 2015, with the support of Essa Township 

and a Gro1000 Grant, Edible Essa grew new Community Gardens 

at the Angus Food Bank and the Angus Branch of Essa Public 

Library. The gardens are complimented by a Kitchen Library, a Seed 

Library and the Lifelong Learning gardening talks at the public library. 

These efforts earned the Simcoe County Food Charter Award for 

Best Community-Based Food Development Program. Edible Essa 

is currently exploring the creation of a local Farmers’ Market and 

additional sites for Community Gardens to compliment efforts already 

underway at Angus Food Bank, Camphill, Essa Public Library and 

Living Faith Community Presbyterian Church in Baxter. For more 

information, visit Edible Essa on Facebook or speak to Sandi White,

For the Greater Good... 

The Angus Food Bank, The Door 

& The Helping Hand 

The Angus Food Bank was established in 1986 by Salvation Army 

Outreach Pastor, Dana Dean. It first opened its doors in a basement 

of a home and moved to many different locations until finding its home 

behind the Angus Arena, next to the NPSS. 

Run by 12 volunteers, the Angus Food Bank offers assistance 

to approximately 60-80 local families per month usually including 40 

or more children. Serving Angus and surrounding areas, the Angus 

Food bank could not help as many families as they do without the 

support of the amazing community. Businesses, Churches, Groups 

and individuals are to be thanked for the success of the Food Bank 

and their continued growth. 

Donations of non-perishable food items, hygiene products, baby 

food/diapers, and even dog/cat food are always welcome along with 

monetary donations to be used for purchase of perishable items. 

Although Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas are crucial times for 

the Food Bank, donations are always needed year-round. 

The Angus Food Bank - 8527 County Road 10 

(Behind the Angus Recreation Centre, just off Mill Street) 

Hours: Wednesday & Friday 1-3pm

The Door Youth Center in Angus is a hidden gem located behind The 

Angus Recreation Centre, just off Mill Street. Being a close neighbour of 

the new high school excites us greatly! The location is the perfect spot for 

youth ages 13-18 to get together in a safe environment to play pool, video 

games or just relax and watch a movie. The Door is part of Highlands Youth 

for Christ which reaches out to the youth in our communities and reveals 

the way Jesus Christ taught us to treat one another. We believe that 

whatever background or troubles young people encounter they deserve 

to be treated with dignity and respect and to experience the unconditional 

love of Christian philosophy. 

The Door also has a music night once a month where any youth can 

bring an instrument or their voice and jam with one another. Currently the 

centre is open Fridays from 7 to 10pm. We would like to be open during the 

week and on Saturdays but we need more volunteers to make it happen. 

Anyone interested in volunteering or for information about the 

centre can contact our office and leave a message and someone will 

get back to you as soon as possible. Call 705-424-9682 or email us at 

office@ highlandsyfc.com

This year will mark the 7th Anniversary of the Angus & Area Chamber 

of Commerce. The AACC has proudly grown to encompass local and 

surrounding area members whom represent a wide variety of products and 

services such as retail stores, professional business services, contractors, 

home based businesses, community groups and more. In addition to 

the Chamber’s role as an advocate for business, we continue to bring 

educational and networking opportunities along with other benefits to our 

members. 

For more information on how to become a member, please visit www.anguschamber.com or 

email info@anguschamber.com. 

The AACC created and promotes the “Buy Local SHOP ANGUS” campaign and firmly believes it is of 

significant benefit to local and area communities as a whole. Customers not only obtain competitive prices 

but also superior customer service, often getting to know the business owners and their staff personally.
