Comments: I remember Shilo winters and that long walk to the arena to play hockey. When I came home for Christmas during my college years we used to go down in the morning and play for a few hours and then "stroll" back. The next week I would be back in Victoria playing a round of golf and some rugby. Canada is a great place!

Comments: reunion update - we now have 62 interested attendees. Register your interest soon.
Comments: The recent cold snap across most of Canada brought back some memories of winter in Shilo in the early sixties. I don't recall the schools closing even when the temperature reached -40. (Maybe they did-but we like to think that we were much hardier then!)
I do recall how cold those old brown army buses were when riding to Brandon, or other communities for sporting events.
Remember those frost shields that were mounted on the vehicle windo ws to enable a partial view outside?
Remember Snuffy Clark not letting any of us kids leave the swimming pool at the Rec Centre until he confirmed that we had dried our hair?
I remember unsuccessfully trying to ice-fish at Waggle Springs-the ice was too thick for our feeble attempts to cut a hole!
