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.

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.

ANGUS 

Angus & Area Community Guide 2017 - 7

FROM THE BEGINNING 

A History of Angus 

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 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); 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. 

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 2017, 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. 


CANADA 

150 th Celebration 

On July 1, 1867, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova 

Scotia entered into Confederation. That’s why we celebrate 

Canada’s anniversary each year on July 1st, as Canada Day. The 

150th, promoted from coast to coast to coast as “Canada 150”, our 

sesquicentennial. 

The Canadian government has allocated an estimated half billion 

dollars on 150th anniversary events and projects. 

The Canada 150 logo is a stylized maple leaf made up of multicoloured 

diamond shapes, designed in 2015 by Ariana Cuvin, a 

then-19-year-old student in the University of Waterloo’s global 

business and digital arts program. This was chosen from 300 entries 

in a contest for students. 

The Bank of Canada will release a commemorative $10 banknote. 

The Royal Canadian Mint designed five Canadian 

dollar coins, part of the “Canada 150 Collection”. 

All stamps produced by Canada Post will include 

a reference to the sesquicentennial. 

Parks Canada has free passes to our national 

parks, historic sites and marine conservation 

areas. 

A Canada 150 Mosaic project will see in 150 interconnected murals 

depicting a train travelling across Canada. Murals will be made up 

of tiles painted by individual Canadians. 

National Canadian Film Day 150 will showcase Canadian films. 

The Canada 150 tulip, also known as the Maple Leaf tulip, is the 

official flower of Canada 150. The tulip was selectively bred with 

white flower and red flames, which resembles our flag. The Maple 

Leaf tulip has been planted in flower beds at the entrance to the 

Community Park, on Huron Street in Angus. 

The Ontario government has allocated $7 million to support more 

than 350 “Canada 150” events across the province. 

Angus District Lions Club 150 Celebrations 

in Angus - Continuing the tradition of Canada 

Day celebrations in the Community Park (1929) 

on Huron Street in Angus, the Lions Club will 

be hosting entertainment, displays, live music, 

childrens activities, great food, and much 

more on Friday, June 30th and Saturday, July 

1st. For the evening fireworks, also provided 

by the Lions Club, all are invited to The Essa 

Agriplex located at the 10th Line and Side 

Road 20 of the Township of Essa.

BLACKDOWN CADET 

Training Centre 

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, 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

PEACEKEEPERS 

Park 

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 

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. 

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

HORTICULTURAL 

Society 

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. 

Residents can be proud of their 

Angus Horticultural Society. 

For more information, e-mail 

leewen@primus.ca 

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.

UTOPIA 

True to it’s 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.

ANGUS 

Transit 

In 2013, the Township of Essa introduced the 

transit service connecting Borden and Angus to 

the City of Barrie. 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. 

Blue and white signs have been strategically 

placed within Borden and Angus to help identify 

where the bus stops are in your area. For 

information on routes and locations of stops as 

well as fares and bus passes please visit the transit 

page at essatownship.on.ca or barrie.ca

Please communicate any feedback you may have 

by contacting the Executive Assistant to the CAO 

and Manager of Public Works at 705-424-9770

Angus 

Morrison 

The streets and lots were laid out in 

a 200 acre tract of land, by J. Tar Bush 

and W. Proudfoot in 1857. “Angus” 

was named after Angus Morrison, 

the representative in the Legislative 

Assembly of Upper Canada for 

“Simcoe” which was named after 

Captain John Simcoe in 1843. Essa 

was one of “Simcoe’s” original 19 

townships.

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.

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.

WORKING TOGETHER 

For the Greater Good! 

The Angus Food Bank 

8527 County Road 10 

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

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, 

The Door Youth Centre 

8527 County Road 10 

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

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.

BORDEN 

In the summer of 1916, almost 60 years after J. Tar Bush 

and W. Proudfoot laid out streets and 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. 

100 years later, in 2016, Canadian Forces Base Borden 

was proud to celebrate their centennial, through events 

and activities throughout Simcoe County. The anniversary 

year is now over, and CFB Borden is moving into our 

second century re-energized. The centennial events 

would not have been a success without the unwavering 

support of our neighbours in Angus, and the rest of 

Simcoe County, and for that, we thank you. 2017 will have 

its own celebrations, promising more interaction between 

the Base and our neighbours. 

Known as the birthplace of the Royal Canadian Air Force 

(RCAF), 16 Wing will be celebrating the 100th Anniversary 

of the Royal Flying Corps (Canada) on behalf of the RCAF 

with events throughout the year, including the signature 

event on June 3rd, 2017. This event will welcome the 

public to the base to see current and historic RCAF 

aircraft. 

In April, the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy 

Ridge will be marked at home and abroad, with the 

annual Vimy Remembrance Ceremony and Breakfast 

hosted on the base. 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 whom went on to fight at Vimy Ridge in 1917. 

The restored WWI trenches and walking paths are open 

to the public, starting at the Legacy Wall at the Angus 

entrance to the Base. 

Throughout the summer CFB Borden will work with the 

City of Barrie for events celebrating Canada150, including 

an airshow featuring the RCAF Snowbirds, a CF18 Hornet 

and other military displays. Finally, we will support the 

INVICTUS Games for ill and injured military personnel and 

veterans, hosted in Toronto in September. 

Throughout the special events and celebrations, Borden 

continues its core mandate of training members of the 

CAF. Each New Year brings new students attending courses 

on base, starting the cycle that will train approximately 

20,000 people.
