The Extraordinary History of Flamborough continues a project begun nearly two decades ago to reintroduce students to the history of Flamborough and its communities of Waterdown, Carlisle, Greensville/Bullock’s Corners, Freelton, Flamborough Centre, Strabane, West Flamboro Village, Mountsberg, Crooks Hollow and others. Located in the heart of the Treaty territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit Nation, and bordering the Haldimand Tract of the Six Nations of the Grand River, the human history of this region goes back to time immemorial. 

I have had the privilege of living in Flamborough for the better part of 40 years, nearly half of which as a teacher of history and Treaty studies at my alma mater, Waterdown District High School. I have found that the best way to teach history is to start by exploring our home communities. Trying to make sense of our corner of the world often requires unpacking the most complex moments in our shared history. In many ways, an exploration of Flamborough inevitably leads to us to embrace much larger histories, including the story of Canada itself. 

All proceeds from the sale of this book go toward supporting the Flamborough Heritage Society.
