Fairview Historical Society Bursary 2025

On June 26 the Fairview Historical Society represented by Peter Wolfe ( Executive Member ) was proud to present our annual $ 500 bursary to Halifax West graduate Brennan Smith. Brennan went through the Fairview School system and was well deserving of our award. We want to thank the other candidates who also applied, as they were well deserving as well, but unfortunately only one graduate could be chosen.

We want to wish Brennan and all the grads great success in your chosen fields.
Thank You
Don Edwards
President

Great News

On June 27, 2024 Kathryn Morse attended our monthly meeting and presented us with a cheque for $5,000 which will be used for a Fairview Historical Society interpretive panel.

It will be a two sided panel which will relate the history of the community of Fairview since it’s early beginnings with the land grant in 1763. The panel will be one of three located at different points along the new revitalization of Dutch Village Road which should be completed in 2025.

On behalf of the Fairview Historical Society we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to councilor Kathryn Morse for he belief and keen interest in our Society.

Thanks again Kathryn
Don Edwards, President FHS

Fairview Baseball Reunion

On Sunday Oct. 15 the 1970-71 Fairview Phillies, their Phillies (wives) and friends gathered at Freeman’s on Dutch Village Road for a reunion luncheon. Fifty three years ago they were a group of Fairview teenagers excited and eager to play the game of baseball. Fast forward to the year 2023, that same slightly older, little less energetic, grey haired group (of forever kids) embraced and hugged each other like lost family.

What a wonderful afternoon it was watching them renew old friendships. It was especially heartwarming and meaningful to “yours truly”, as these kids (now parents and grandparents) were “My Boys of Summer” such a long time ago!
