Comments: I am giving advance notice of a Shilo Brat Reunion this summer. The date will be July 29th. Back by popular demand we will be doing a Kingston Thousand Island Dinner Cruise!!
Comments: Remembering Shilo friends no longer with us, at the beginning of each year we update our Remembering section with the names we have learned have passed. Each Remembering stone will have the year of birth (if known), the year of passing, any known brothers and sisters and their yearbook photo if available (as you knew them) or their Obit photo. Please review the pages and report any inaccuracies or help fill in missing information through the Contact form in the side menu.
Shilo was a special place for many of us in our early years, and for some, Shilo is a special place because you were born there, or in Brandon to parents posted in Shilo.
ShiloBornBrats section has also been updated.
ShiloBornBrats has been created to give recognition to our home grown brat pack by assembling a page of trivia for each year we have a ShiloBornBrat name for.
If you or a brother or sister were born when your family lived in Shilo, and your name does not appear in that year, please contact ShiloBrats to be included, your name and year will be added.
I don't know how many times I have heard it said “I knew them, but I didn't know they were born in Shilo” or just go there to find out what was going on in the world when you were born.

Comments: Lived in Shilo 1967-73. Lived on 1 Esquimalt, (on the corner of Kingston Avenue). Anyone who lived there during those years would remember the duplex all lit up at Christmas time with a lit star on the roof. I did grade 6 at Kelly School and then over to PEHS until I finished grade 10.
Comments: The Reunion 2022 Memorial Book is ready to go. The printed version of the Reunion 2022 Special Edition is the 4th book in our Reunion Yearbook series and is now ready to order. This 72 page 12” x12” coffee table album tells the story and captures the “essence” of those three days of The Way We Were. If you were there, this is more than a memory.
Right now we are just looking for what interest there is. Our books are produced by Costco photo services which is shutting down at the end of this month and transferring their services to Shutterfly. However, any projects that have been done with Costco will not be transferred, and there is a one last time to order before January 28. If you have seen the Reunion 2018 book, you know the quality.
We will be making and pre-paying a one time order by then to cover all the copies of interest. Half of those copies will go to Faye Helgason Linseman for East distribution, and half to Ken Jenkins for West distribution, arrangements can be made through them for your copy. Book price $65.00, includes taxes and shipping. Payment arrangements can be made through Faye & Ken for delivery in February. Comment here or email ShiloBrats by January 25, if you would be interested and we will add a book to our order.
