Port Elgin, Ontario, Canada 

So cool! My great-grandparents came up to the Bruce in 1852 and made a homestead near Arkwright. I lived in Port Elgin for 30 years and still visit at least once a week.

My mother grew up in Port Elgin and returned when she retired. I spent many a summer enjoying its many charms & gifts at our cottage there. My son & his family have continued the saga. Thank you for posting this video.

Had a cottage here in the 80s and early 90s. Some of the best times. Best beach in ontario. Wish the mini train that ran from the main beach and up towards north shore road was still there

Enjoyed watching this and was happy to got to visit there more than once. Dad was born and raised there before heading west to teach school.

Really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for showing us things from our past.

As much as our town has changed, this video is a good reminder of how much of it is still the same.

Just fantastic! Thank you!

I've recently started enjoying local Ontario history and the culture from previous decades, this is a really good video series.

I am 41yrs old and a 5th generation local. Loved watching this video. Thank you

Liked the history aspect of these people and Indian history spoken here.

OMG!! I know Ron Beaupre!! His son is a friend of mine!! I wanna say small world, but its Port Elgin so DUH!!

Great video love seeing the old town

Great video. Blast from the past. The old church at Chippewa was beautiful. Sadly it was burnt down.

Good 👍

These films were made in the 80s, must be different now.

Live here for the last 7 years, had to move, no housing

cute and interesting but imo lacks some early historical trivia ( except for that bit at 4:00 and then that bit at 9:00 about John Spence ) .. like the 1840's when the Saugeen ( Chiefs ) were selling this area to the British while the native were struggling with the Manitoulin Island treaties and then the early pioneers like Proudfoot and others who brought with them the bank interests which led to the railroaders connecting it all to the Hanover and Guelph and Toronto area... 21:00 ... time will tell if the European invasion will have been an act of refinement by some who sell themselves as civilized while working every angle to control and manipulate nature and this bountiful earth...

Very interesting! Could you please put links to the others in the series in the description?

Hey do you got one for sue st Marie?

We’re there any missing Indian native children missing during Queen’s visit ❓❓❓

“South Hampton”. What a cheesy name! Almost like if you just took a name from somewhere else like London or Paris… oh wait.

There’s a child predator named Jeff Nihls that lives in Port Elgin. Keep your children safe everyone!
