Winters in Shilo never seemed to be too cold for me. They probably were, but at nine years old, on 53 Frontenac, walking under the street lamps with my best pal Diane Desmarais (pronounced Dis mar is in those days). Come to think of it, we used to know the winter vehicles as Bomb a Deers, when in fact the company was Bombardier.
Diane and I would walk around pretending that the glistening snow was a blanket of diamonds, and we were princesses. Our scarves were wrapped tightly around our heads, but once parents were out of view, we used them as boas, dancing under the stars.
Who has a little story to tell of our days in Shilo, or, little memories from your post Shilo days?

Winter in Shilo was cold alight. I can remember it 50 below F and the fog so thick you could not see your hand in front of your face. Walking across the field to PEHS you could almost get lost in that short distance, from 104 Kingston Ave.
Faye you are too young to remember walking back from the old YPA hall after the dance and it was probably 50 below F again in your dress shoes, heaven forbid you would not wear boots. By the time you got home your feet were ready to fall off lol
