In 1962 two young ski racers from Toronto, Michael Gee and Don Esson, entertained the dream of establishing a new ski area in a hidden valley of the Mad River in southern Ontario known as Devil’s Glen. As the spark of inspiration grew, the venture captured the interest of another accomplished ski racer, Baylor “Red” McConville, from London, Ontario. Over the next three years, the public ski area at Devil’s Glen gained some renown, but costly upkeep and expansion needs threatened its ability to stay afloat. In the spring of 1965 investors in the public ski area, all budding business professionals, agreed that the only route to long-term sustainability was through membership fees. On December 5, 1965, Devil’s Glen Country Club was incorporated as a private ski club. Contributing financial resources, labour and expertise, 16 founders and 201 initial members proceeded to transform the promising idea into a long-lived reality. Fifty years later new members are discovering the natural beauty and camaraderie of life at Devil’s Glen, while many of the club’s early supporters introduce third and fourth generations of skiers to its singularly inspiring landscape.

We humans like to think we can mould the land to suit our own purposes. With axe and saw, shovels and scrapers, bulldozers and backhoes, we have swept away forests and cleared the land for farms and factories. But in fact it is the natural forces of the land, the water, and the geology beneath that determine where we live, what we grow, where we work, how we play. Wind, Water, Barley & Wine reaches back to the earliest formations of the earth to draw a close connection between the people of Prince Edward County and the precious peninsula they inhabit.

When I began my exploration of Lennox and Addington County, I never expected to be standing on a 1.2-billion-year old lava flow. Or finding dramatic roadside evidence of solid rocks that had been folded upon themselves by the pressures of plate tectonics. I have developed a new-found enthusiasm for geology. As I peeked into the nooks and crannies of this old Ontario county, I came to appreciate the diversity of its communities. I hope Lennox & Addington will lure you out of your comfortable armchairs and off the main highways into the farms and forests of this long, narrow strip of a county. There are pleasant adventures awaiting you on its country lanes and village streets. Poke around in small towns and hamlets and you’ll find forgotten hotels, architectural curiosities, old cheese factories, abandoned railways, lost villages and much evidence of those stalwart refugees who founded the county, the Loyalists.

The history of a place lives in its people. Heritage—both family and community—is being rediscovered as a treasure beyond price. We seek out our roots to find a sense of belonging and discover that we, too, occupy a place in history. Butchers, Bakers and Building the Lakers: Voices of Collingwood shares intriguing facts and stories told by the many Collingwood residents whom Christine met and interviewed over a two-year period. Backed by the author’s thorough historical research, it also incorporates personal accounts dating from the 1850s and includes hundreds of photographs from private collections, connecting readers in a uniquely warm and personal way with the author and storytellers past and present.
