It was a somber and chilly day – but thanks to everyone who came out to clean up the playground, park and to the St Alban’s Youth Council for sprucing up the Community Garden beds!

Check out the Seaton Village (Toronto) Facebook page for some fun pics of area neighbours “taking back” Palmerston Ave! More to come -

Thanks again!

One morning a few weeks ago as my daugher and I were walking to St. Alban’s and I witnessed one of these birds swoop down and pick up a squirrel. They were able to bring the squirrel onto a branch of a nearby tree but the squirrel wiggled itself free. Fun stuff!

Hi Ed – Thank you for taking on this project. I am interested in the history of Seaton Village since I bought my home 20 years ago and spent some time looking at records of former owners and photos of the area when it was first developed at the City Archives. I don’t have any particular expertise but would be glad to be of help. In the meantime, I wanted to mention Louise Tandy Murch who lived on Vermont Ave. her whole life, and is commemorated in a documentary (dir. Deepa Mehta) called “At 99″. Her brother Walter Murch is the legendary film editor who made it big in Hollywood. I would love to see something like a “Tandy Murch Lane” to commemorate her.

Hi Ed, and other name-researchers,
Although I detest the idea of more signs in general, if signage we must have, here are a couple of very quick thoughts: I’ve been told the east side, north end of Rossmore was once an orchard, and cattle grazed by the nearby creek. Thoughts of “Orchard Creek Lane” come to mind.
Second tidbit: the original families (circa 1904) who lived at #33 and #35 Rossmore were the McNabs and the Abercrombies. Perhaps they deserve a place in Seaton Village history.
Also, do you know anything about “Mammy” Brown, who lived around #103 Markham, which is one of the places that appear to be facing demolition by neglect?

I am happy with the 40km / hr speed limit and do not want to see 30km/hr.
