The Town has no responsibility for decisions the Society makes.
For almost fifty years the Town and the Society worked together compatibly ,productively and economically towards the same objective.
Service.
The Town provided a grant and facilities .
The Society and the museum curator provided the many-faceted and much appreciated heritage programming.
Times change.
The Aurora Historical Society no longer provides the service of the past.
Funding continues with substantial increase.
An aggressive recruiting drive was necessary to select , not elect an executive board.
John McIntyre and William Albino were elected President and Vice President.
Mr. Albino made a presentation to the members. He explained how the idea for a heritage theme park arose during a conversation between himself and Mr.McIntyre.
He confirmed a statement by a previous president. The idea did not originate with nor was it endorsed by the Historical Society.
With Mayor Dawe and Councillor Thompson before him in the audience , he referred to choosing new candidates in the next municipal election.
Yes indeed.
Times change.
They do not necessarily improve.

Same script writers. Different cast members.
many allegations .........
Cllr Buck, I don't believe you were present at the AHS AGM. What source are you relying upon for your report of events?
11:11
I believe Evelyn has multiple sources. Have you read the Auroran ?
11:42, her "report" on the AHS AGM reads as a first-person account of events. However, it wasn't witnessed, but gleaned from secondary sources.
19:08 You're kidding?...right?
23:29
No. 19:08 was not kidding. That's what is so sad about its comments.
Not to worry, Anonymous 15:58. The comment at 19:08 was made anonymously so, as we've been told, it doesn't count.
