Volume 2005 MarchOur Visitors come from.....Toronto, Canada
During the month of February, there were many visitors to the website from Canada. Mangaloreans and Goans have joined others from India, to make Canada their home, and we wish them well. I wish to endeavor to make their new home, familiar to those who might not be as lucky as they have been, and encourage greater understanding and fellowship, in spite of distances separating them. Every nation develops its unique culture, and over the years leaves monuments, reminding the later generations of their past history. I ventured into the Cyberspace, and found some interesting information, which I would like to share with you. Colborne Lodge
This rare Regency picturesque cottage is a graceful monument to John and Jemima Howard, the couple who founded High Park. John Howard, one of Toronto’s first architects as well as a City Engineer and Surveyor, built Colborne Lodge in 1837 which still contains many original furnishings, artifacts, and some of his own watercolours depicting images of early Toronto
Colborne Lodge’s extensive ornamental and kitchen gardens are now being restored. Learn more by visiting the website: http://www.city.toronto.on.ca/culture/colborne.htm Indian Grocery Stores.New immigrants from India go to Canada, and I thought it might help them if a link was given for the Grocery Stores in Toronto. May be it is superfluous information, but some new comers may find it useful. There is a list available at this website: http://www.mastindia.com/toronto/t_grocers.html South Asians in Canada and USAI found another interesting website telling us more about this subject.
