Have You Lived In Harbord Village For A Long Time?


This is for the long-time residents of Harbord Village. Do you know any? Please spread the word.
Cheers,
Vanessa

 "Hello,
Did you grow up  between Bathurst, Spadina, Bloor, and College before 1975 or attend school such as Huron Public School, King Edward, Harbord Collegiate, or Central Tech? Do you have memories of the neighbourhood that you'd like to share?  If so, we need your help!
 The Harbord Village Residents Association is exploring its history, with the help of a grant from the Trillium Foundation. The goal is to collect 100 oral histories – recorded interviews – of our past, from among those who remember life here decades ago.
 We are now at about the half-way mark, with an exhibit planned at the JCC and area schools in the fall. We are also designing a permanent online, indexed archive of these stories, so that our history – which has never been recorded before – is not just collected, but also published.   
 Finding people who grew up in the area but now live elsewhere is not easy for us. If you, or someone you know, might be interested in sharing your stories, please contact Nicole Schulman at n.m.schulman@gmail.com.  
Thanks!"
