The majority of the 30- mile trail lies along the Humber River in Etobicoke and ends at Lake Ontario near the Canadian National Exhibition grounds. Using a map in the book, Toronto Under the French Regime, by Percy Robertson, (1934), some society members walked the original path by foot. Once that was done, the sOciety asked the two towns for permission to erect the plaques.

SCALE (Phom by H099) Indian trail The society thinks the trail may have been used for 2,000 years by Indians before the arrival of such notables as Etienne Brule, LaSalle, and Governor Simcoe, all of whom used the Toronto Carrying Place. Attending the 11 am. Dominion Day unveiling ceremony were Mayor Margaret Britnel] of King, Vaughan Councillor Terry Goodwin, MLA York North Bill Hodgson.

The amount budgeted for this item was $18,000. However, the old water tank truck (1960 vintage) was sold to another municipality for $2,000, which amount will be used to purchase a radio for the new truck at $750 and to offset the over- budget amount. The tender of Mobile Tank Industries, Agin- court, for the water tank only at $8,789 and the tender of the Woodbine Truck Centre Ltd., Markham, for the cab and chassis at $9,698 made up the total amount. Town council also has approved application to the municipal board for a debenture of $625,000 for construction of a central fire hall (in the civic centre). If this application is made this year, approval should be available so construction of the central hall could be started next yearz it was noted. It was also reported investigation has revealed this step will be more economical than manning the Spruce Street fire hall full time.

In her will, she left a sum of money to the society to keep it looking as it should. Weddings by lamplight are popular there. “The society is trying to have legislation passed by King Township to protect old buildings and homes," said Poulis. “We like to see people buy old homes and restore them, but some people nearly demolish them trying to fix them up. Old schools and churches should be bought by people who appreciate the value of antique houses.“
