O'Connor House - one of three buildings remaining on the former 850-acre O'Connor Estate/Maryvale Farms of the 1930s. There is a risk of losing it if we do not work together to save it and bring it back to life.

The man who built O'Connor Estate was Frank O'Connor - who, with his wife, Mary Ellen Hayes, were the founders of Laura Secord Candies in 1913. Who has not enjoyed a box of Laura Secord jellied candies or melt-in-your-mouth chocolates. And, did you know, that during the war years of rationed sugar, and other basics, that people would give their ration to Frank so he could continue to make the candies to send away to their beloved soldiers.

Why it is important to be part of this project is because it is North York at its finest. O'Connor House stands on its original foundation - unlike several other historic North York homes which have been moved. It has "good bones," a solid foundation, and architecturally, has beauty and balance. Who does not experience their heart, mind and soul uplifted in the presence of beauty and balance.

The Société d’histoire de Toronto and Alliance Française invite you to join them on Sunday, October 5, between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm for a picnic as part of “Lafontaine-Baldwin Day at the Temple of the Children of Peace” in Sharon, northeast of Newmarket, at 18974 Leslie Street.

The Temple is a National Historic Site, completed in 1832, renowned for its architecture and symbolism, and also for its role in the historic alliance between Robert Baldwin and Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine.

Participants will be welcomed at 11:00 am at the Temple by none other than David Willson who founded the Children of Peace nearly two hundred years ago. They will then visit the historic Doan farmhouse where Mrs. Doan will greet them and tell them of some of the political turmoil which characterized this part of Ontario in the 1830s and 40s and the effects it had on the community which built the Temple.
