New Commercial Building Opens In Aldergrove - January 1977. The new building was home to Aldergrove Realty and Bayside Sound (Radio Shack). It's interesting to note that the incorrect address is shown for Radio Shack. The one in the advertisement and article would have put it across the street from where it was actually located.

Aldergrove's AA Bantam Rep team headed off to Finland on Boxing Day 1987. We'd love to hear some of the player's memories of the Finnair International Tournament, if anyone would like to share... like maybe my cousin Jamie 😉 =)

Aldergrove & community news from 80 years ago - retirements, business changes, soldiers coming home from the war, agricultural advancements, news from some of the neighbourhoods and films at the theatres in Langley & White Rock. Aldergrove was still 11 years away from having its own newspaper and 4 years away from the opening of the Grove Theatre.
