Lt. King was the lucky winner of a portable TV from Scott Paper and Super Valu. This article also serves to remind us that all of those ghost driveways along the outer edges of the Naval Radio Station once led to PMQ houses situated on the base.

Next year, the Federated Women's Institutes of Canada will be turning 130. At one time nearly every community had a Women's Institute, but their numbers have dwindled over the past few decades. We are hoping that those of you with roots in Patricia community might recognize a mom, aunt, granny or great-grandma in this Patricia WI photo.

A look back at our Township 60 years ago, when our police force had 12 officers and they finally got their own radar set. Langley Airport was the largest pilot training field in the country and Williams Park was under construction as a Centennial project for the enjoyment of Township residents.

Who remembers the Kraft Kabin? I loved that store, and I'm pretty sure that my Mom took all of the sewing and craft classes they offered. I'm also pretty sure that she gave me several of the kids' clothing patterns she bought there, when my own kids were little.

Canada Day in Aldergrove 30 years ago, when we still had a swimming hole at Aldergrove Lake Park and the Sky Sox were the Fraser Valley Bantam AA Champions.

Happy #CanadaDay Aldergrove, we hope you'll join us at the festivities being hosted by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #265, where there is lots going on for everyone - games, displays, a BBQ, entertainment. We hope to see you there.

As we get ready to celebrate Canada Day with a free community event at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #265, 59 years ago Aldergrove was gearing up to celebrate Canada's centennial with lots of local activities organized by several community groups including the @Aldergrove Elks Assoc. Here is a little Canada Day trivia, courtesy of Canadian Heritage:

The creation of Canada Day

July 1, 1867: The British North America Act (today known as the Constitution Act, 1867) creates Canada.

June 20, 1868: Governor General Lord Monck signs a proclamation that requests all Her Majesty's subjects across Canada to celebrate July 1.

1879: A federal law makes July 1 a statutory holiday as the "anniversary of Confederation," which is later called "Dominion Day."

October 27, 1982: July 1, "Dominion Day" officially becomes Canada Day.

In 1916, the Canadian Engineers were actively recruiting men in the skilled trades. One of the questions our research hopes to answer is who from our local communities answered this call.

For those who would like to know how the Marsh-McCormick got its name. These articles are treasures because they recall the first-hand memories of area settlers instead of relying on "well, Great Uncle Albert said that...."

Quite often we find photos of old businesses from Langley or Abbotsford in our Aldergrove Star photo collection. These photos were often used in advertisements in the newspaper. We know this is one business that was very popular with Aldergrove residents. Who else remembers visiting this store with their parents?

Lots of great entertainment and fundraising opportunities coming up in #ourcommunity. Tonight's @Aldergrove Minor Baseball Association at the Aldergrove Athletic Field looks like it could be a lot of fun.

Back in 1978, the Peat family opened Bubbles Teen Disco in the Jackman Plaza building. Unfortunately, as is often the case, the actions of a few on the outside ruined the fun being had by many inside, and the disco didn't last very long. Another family stepped in and attempted to open a new disco in its place but could not get approval from council.
