Aldergrove has also been home to some pretty awesome karate kids, too. We wonder how many of these martial arts students carried on with their training.

The last Aldergrove Minor Hockey Association -AMHA Friendship Tournament team of the 20th century. We would be interested in knowing, all these years later, some of the memories Aldergrove's hockey players have of these tournaments - did they have an impact on who you are as a person? Are you a hockey Dad who whose son has taken part in a 21st century Friendship Tournament? How did your experience compare to your son's experience? #tellusyourstory

I know that military related posts are usually done on Tuesday, but there's a new exhibit at the Museum of Surrey in Cloverdale that will appeal to many of our readers. It's also a great opportunity to take in the rest of the museum, which we recommend. There's lots to see and do for everyone in the family.

Today we recognize the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation.
Some have asked what we, as a heritage society, are doing/have done in regards to Truth & Reconciliation. In 2018 the society repatriated the small number of items in its collection to Kwantlen First Nations and developed a Repatriation, Reconciliation And Cultural Property Policy, which can be found in the About section of our website.
As individuals and as a heritage society, we continue our learning path by researching, reading and listening to the stories of Indigenous People, Inuit and Métis, and familiarize ourselves with the Truth & Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls To Action and UNDRIP to understand where and how we may be doing better.

***UPDATED: This photo was filed with the wrong set of aerials, it should have been in the 1960s Aerial Photos.***
Going back to our Aldergrove Star aerial photos, here is Clearbrook looking west along South Fraser Way towards Highway 1. I'm sure that Abbotsford Historic Sites and Buildings and Heritage Abbotsford / Trethewey House would be able to identify the businesses.

A photo from the "1995 Box 1" files, of the Aldergrove Legion supporting our local hockey players. If anyone can provide a name, it will be easier to search the Aldergrove Star archive to find the published photo and story to go with it. =)

Tariffs aren't just a modern issue - they were of concern to BC residents back in the late 1870s as well, whether they were "town folk" or "farming folk", with our community being populated mainly by the later type of folk.

Government finances are very often at the top of the list for discussion, especially as it gets close to budget time. Here is a look back at Langley Municipality's financial reports for 1876 and 1877.
