Where are all the Warrendale survivors?

Hi my name is Rachelle and I used to work at Browndle ninrteen seventy nine in Barrie Ontario. I am looking for a girl named Lana her maiden name was Archambault and her married name is Huir. She was a house head. She worked with Bob Corbett and Kevin Snow and myself I think the street was Broadmore, it's been thirty years so I forget the street name. I moved back to my home town in Timmins Ontario. I would love to hear from someone who maybe knew them so I can try to contact one of them. You can email me. thanks

Hello, I worked in one of the 3 remaining Browndale houses in the Netherlands a couple of years ago. I still consider it to be a great way to work with children, had a great time there. Nice site you have, keep up the good work!

I was in Browndale (Newmarket and Haliburton) but never knew the history of it. What a Great site!!

It is nice to relive the memories. Browndale had a great impact on my life.

I just wanted to thank everyone that have signed our guestbook until now, and the kind words, it makes the hours and trial and errors worth while, thankyou.

Looks like lots of hard work, good job.

keep up the good work!

I was in Browndale from 1966 to 1971. Thank you soooooo much for being there for me when I was so lost. Still think of my experiences which were such loving and caring staff.

This is a terrific site, lots of work that easy to see. I truly wish I could link up with some of the early girls from 1958-1964 from the original house in Newmarket. Donna, Colleen, Bobo, Shiley McK?? It would be nice to see the only staff member that I truly trusted mentioned here... Lou Taylor. He has since passed away but he kept myself and sister safe & sane!
Great site, thanks for all the effort!!

I WAS IN BROWNDALE WHEN I WAS 15 OR 14 DONT REMEBER
