We've tried to make it possible to share their stories for all generations to come. This is what our classes have collected regarding history in the Leeds and Grenville, Ontario area.

Brockville Collegiate Institute
Senior history students from Athens District High School and Brockville Collegiate Institute collaborated to digitizalize primary sources from both of our local communities in Leeds and Grenville, Ontario. The students and their teachers created this website to preserve our local history, that is often finding its way to landfills. The students' hope is that community members will use and be interested in their research.
