THE 50th ANNIVERSARY OF OUR FOUNDING
This year is a great one for anniversaries! First, the Clan Ross Association of Canada will hold its National Gathering in Niagara Falls on Friday, July 16, Saturday, July 17, and Sunday, July 18. This celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Founding of our Association and participation is not limited to members. Everyone is welcome to check our website at
http://www.greatclanross.org/cra~can5a12010INTRO.html for more information.
We are honoured to welcome John Donaldson (Don) Ross to this important gathering. Don is a former President of our Association and a Clan Historian. He is the son of Dr. John Robert Ross, who wrote The Great Clan Ross, which has become the definitive reference for the history of Clan Ross.
OUR 80th ANNUAL ROSS FAMILY REUNION
This reunion is held by descendants of Alexander Ross and Margaret Noble the Holstein Community Centre (Ontario) on the first Monday in August at 2:00 pm. Let's make August 2nd a big celebration! I'll be wearing my kilt for sure at this gathering, and we'll be posting plenty of photos on the websites.
THE FERGUS SCOTTISH FESTIVAL AND HIGHLAND GAMES (Aug.13-15)
Clan Ross is the honoured clan in Fergus this year during our 50th Anniversary. All Ross families are invited. There will be a parade for the Opening Ceremonies at noon on Saturday if you wish to join in. A "Clan Passport" booklet is being sponsored by the Scottish Studies Foundation for the youngsters to participate in a treasure hunt collecting stamps of the clan badges along the Avenue of the Clans.
Two special members of our Clan Ross Association of Canada will be seated on stage during the opening ceremonies. First, is Joanne Ross-Zuj, the Mayor of Fergus/Centre Wellington. Second, is Dr. Valerie-Dawn Girhiny, the gt-gt-gt-granddaughter of Sir George William Ross, Premier of Ontario (1899-1905),founder and first elected President of Clan Ross in North America.
Cheers,
Doug
