Sauga 50-for-50: A Chat with Ben Madill Heritage Bytes
-
- Historie
This week, we wanted to travel back in time and have a chat with a beloved former resident of Mississauga, Ben Madill. Ben Madill epitomized a lifetime of giving and is fondly remembered and well respected in Mississauga’s heritage community. He regaled generations with his stories and knowledge of the “old days” of Britannia, of farming, of life in a one-room schoolhouse in the midst of what is now the City of Mississauga.
Ben’s extensive knowledge of farming techniques, including rope making and woodworking, were exceptional – equaled only by his love for sharing his knowledge with young and old. Before his passing in 2013, Heritage Mississauga sat down to ask Mr. Madill about his memories and his life growing up in historic Mississauga. So sit back and relax as Ben Madill takes us back to Old Britannia, this time on Sauga 50-for-50.
