The purpose of the ceremony was to highlight the contribution of the J.W. Family Foundation to Dorval’s heritage, as it was in 1969 that the Foundation gave the City of Dorval a vast track of virgin land known today as “Windsor Park”.
Amongst the many achievements of his illustrious career, Mr. McConnell was a Dorval City Councillor in 1920 and 1921.
The Dorval Historical Society’s next conference will take place at the Dorval Cultural Centre, located at 1401 Lakeshore Drive, on October 15, 2008, at 7:30 p.m. The speaker will be Mr. Michel Bélisle, ethnologist and historian. His presentation is entitled “Quand Vaudreuil s’appelait Kinchien” (When Vaudreuil was called Kinchien). Admission is free.
