A platform for speeches and dancing was erected to the north side of the old Barrie Hall. The Hall would be to the far right in this photograph. Many of the large pines in the background were lost to the microburst in 2002. The Pioneer Museum would be situated in the top left hand corner. One of the visiting dignitaries was Barbara Ann Scott pictured above sitting to the side of the old Barrie Hall in Cloyne. Barbara Ann had finished earlier in the year of capturing gold in both the European and World Ladies Figure Skating Championships.
