Happy 150th Birthday, Aurora!…read more On February 3, 2013, Aurora celebrates its 150th anniversary (sesquicentennial). The town did organize a special day of event in the Town Park where there was skating, horse carriage ride, free hot chocolate and pop corns and some other family type entertainment. It was a really nice afternoon out for the residents: young and old to get together for some fun! I have been to Aurora numerous time over the last 3 years. A lot of people might ask what's up there? Surprisingly there are tons of interesting events and businesses in Aurora that worth visit. Hopefully Aurora will keep it's small town charm as it is growing in a rapid pace. Interesting fact from Wiki: - Aurora was the childhood home of Lester B. Pearson, Prime Minister of Canada from 1963 to 1968, when his father, Rev. Edwin Pearson, was the Methodist minister. - And for Hockey Fan: Tie Domi, Norm Dennis, Hap Holmes (goalie that won 4 Stanley Cup!) and other NHL players - The Stronach family of Magna international is based here too!

The only way to get any assistance in Canada from the government is to be an immigrant or teenage…read moreparent. Being born in Canada is no longer an asset. I'm glad my father is dead because he would be ashamed to serve in our Canadian military. Trying to protect all Canadians only to see his own family struggle to get any financial assistance because they can keep their legs closed while in school and were born in Canada. I am the first person in my family to apply for assistance and honestly I wish I was born somewhere else. My point being that there's no pattern of welfare. My application is the first attempt to get any financial assistance from the government. I've quit smoking, drinking, socializing and eating out. I can barely function without medication but I dont qualify for assistance. I've never been ashamed to be Canadian but I see why the only people hanging Canadian flags are not pure Canadians unless it is cursing the government. So don't bother asking for help if you're not a whore or immigrant because they don't care.

It's a pity really because the interior is quite nice despite the drab exterior. There's (real) trees, neo-classical balustrades & pillars, colourful tile paintings & marble(sque?) surfaces.

I've made several trips to the tannery over the years. I've lived here long enough that I remember…read morewhat it was like before it was fixed up and revitalized as a luxury shopping mall. These days too have passed and the tannery seems to be more a building that supports government offices, the traffic court, and Medical services while being spattered with various smaller business and a church. A lot of beautiful work was done to the tannery years ago. Marble, a waterfall, and lots of artistic tweaks. Many of us don't find reasons to go there frequently, but it is a very pretty pace. Parking can be tricky at times, but I've always shot a spot. I'm there frequently now for cardio rehab. They use the main floor as a track for building up the muscles and heart for people. If you haven't been, it's worth a trip just to see that it looks like inside. ;)

Oak Ridges Community Centre is the newest community center in Richmond Hill…read more It is definitely impressive! Facilities includes a 6 lane leisure pool with a slide, Oak Ridges Moraine Eco Centre, a fitness and aerobic studio, a gymnasium and more. There are also various city sponsored programs held year round in the centre. We ended up coming here for one of the Moonlight Movies Night. The set up is perfect utilizing the nature amphitheatre like landscape at the back of the Centre. Watching a movie under the stars on a hot summer night is such a treat!

There are activity and program rooms for multi purposes but from what I have seen, it's mainly used for educational purposes. They have a large swimming pool area with two pools. One for children and the other for adults or the more advanced. The Oak Ridges Community Centre also has an aerobics centre, fitness centre and a gymnasium. It's a really nice community centre. One of the best that I have seen yet. I went there for a Volleyball tournament and probably pick up sports a couple of times. The floors are well maintained and they have relatively high ceilings which is great for certain sports. I would definitely recommend this facility as it is one of the most beautiful community centre that I have seen with a wide range of facilities to utilize. Only problem is there is not really a change room for the gymnasium. Overall a great community centre. Check it out yourself and you will agree. JimStar Out!!
