SHS Monthly Meeting: 40-Year Anniversary of the Swansea Historical Society

As the Society marks its 40-year anniversay, former SHS President Bob Roden will guide us through the evolution of the Society as it has developed over this period.

Bob has never lived in Swansea, but he became a dedicated “Swanseaite-by-Marriage” in 1985, when he tied the knot with his lovely wife, Susan. Since then, he has been actively involved with SHS, serving for many years as Auditor, then Membership Coordinator, and most recently as President between 2012 and 2025, while Susan also served on the Board of Directors as Refreshment Convenor for 10 plus years. His involvement in local history started with a chance visit to Montgomery’s Inn in 1980, which led to his joining the Etobicoke Historical Society and serving terms as EHS Vice-President, President, and Secretary. For many years, Bob and Susan have been very active members of six local historical societies. Bob has given illustrated talks at the Swansea Historical Society and various venues across the GTA. We hope you can join us on March 4, when he will cover some of the highlights of the past 40 years.

Members will be encouraged to share their memories!

Once again, the meeting will be conducted in a hybrid format so that participants can attend in-person at the Swansea Town Hall or connect on-line using the Zoom tool.
