Andrew was raised in Thornhill and was an alumnus of Vaughan Secondary School!

Prior to its opening, students would have to commute all the way to Richmond Hill for their High School education. 

The Village Library at 10 Colborne St. was built in 1851. It has been a grocery store and veterinary office; at one time the rear was a stable, with horses for hire. 

The library plays an important role in the community and also houses a ghost or two!
