That was quick, I took a look from the Trail back from the Bridge. There is at least one new comer.

1948 wouldn't be different than today with land ownership, the home owner did own the land. The only difference would be that the property taxes were not paid to the City of Hamilton, they would of been paid Burlington Beach Commission.

Due to the on-going restrictions of large groups, the May Beach Council meeting is cancelled, another date will be posted as soon we can safely meet.

There were a lot of people on the Trail watching for the Snowbirds, hopefully they got a better picture than I did.
