Guest Speakers Ron Lajoie and Maurice Gauthier will pre-sent a history of Green Valley from the early 1900ʼs until today The village was named in 1878 after the Green Valley Hotel established in the 1840s by Mary McDonald During these early days it was a popular spot just south of Green Valley northeast of the Beaudette River Travelers between Hawkesbury and Lancaster would stop for a rest and a drink (of course) The first Post office in Green Valley came in 1878 at the end the 8th Concession This same 8th Concession in Lancaster Township had at one time three schools a cemetery a cheese factory and a post officeIn 1916 the locals were embroiled in the Green Valley School Row related to the Ontario ldquoRegulation 17rdquo attempting to limit the teaching of French in schools
Green Valley expanded in 1887 when the Canadian Pacific Railway crossed Highway 34 This would link Green Valley to Apple Hill and more importantly Toronto and Montreal
The railroad station at Green Valley was a very busy place for local farmers receiving goods by freight and sending out milk cream and farm produce to Montreal In 1886 a telegraph line was built to Green Valley by the CPR In the 1920s a few stores were built In 1938 Leo Lajoie built the ever-so-popular Green Valley Pavilion which drew crowds from everywhere

The Annual General Meeting and Guest Speaker Cmdr Allan F Kennedy
The Annual General Meeting and Potluck supper was again a popular and suc-cesful event with a good turnout
Commander Allan F Kennedy(retired) Glengarry native began by describing what influenced him to initially join the Navy Then he spoke of his key role in man-aging the recovery from the mechanical accident aboard the HMCS Kootenay in the English Channel in 1969 which resulted in nine deaths and fifty-three injured His recollections and accompany-ing slide show made a signifi-cantly emotional impact on those present One of the many outcomes of the acci-dent was the change in policy of the Canadian military re-garding the interment of serv-icemen who died overseas After this accident the rela-tives had the option to re-quest the body of the dec-ceased be returned to Can-ada
