Northern Rubber in The Ward, Guelph Ontario

Alison has lived up to her end of the bargain, rendering this picture of Northern Rubber in pastels as part of our documentary project.

Now we just have to put the movie together.

She's good at what she does eh?!

While Alison has been creating this picture, I have been filming and trying to figure out editing.

I have also been reading "The Massey Murder" by Charlotte Gray. Interestingly it talks about 'The Ward' in Toronto: a working class neighbourhood of the early 1900's, that was neglected, often had issues with clean water and disease, and was considered the seedy or dangerous part of town.
