Young Londoners know little about London's history
A NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE: Erected in 1830, the old Middlesex County Courthouse in London, Ontario, is modelled after Malahide Castle, near Dublin, Ireland, the ancestral home of Colonel Thomas Talbot, founder of the Talbot Settlement. The site was part of the town plot set aside by Lieutenant-Governor John Graves Simcoe after his visit to The Forks in February 1793. here he proposed to locate the provincial capital.
Yesterday, Rogers TV-13 First Local asked four young people (20s) in Victoria Park whether they knew anything about London's history.
Incredibly, in the Internet age, three knew nothing at all.
One knew that Labatt Park was the world's oldest baseball grounds in continuous use.
Are Londoners sharp enough to see the importance and value of the historic Tempo VII hydroplane that Guy Lombardo had built in 1955? Not likely.
What's wrong with this picture? What can be done to correct this situation?
What kind of message does it send to young Londoners when they see the City of London wanting to give away an important cultural artifact such as the Tempo VII hydroplane that was donated to the City 27 years ago?
