Whitby Trailer Park Dates Back to At Least 1940

If this does not count towards a landmark or heritage site, then I do not know what else would constitute a landmark or heritage site.  I have heard that the park was used to shelter the military soldiers back in the war and also workers at an ammunition production centre.

Some of my neighbors in the park here have lived here 30 and 40 years.  I took down a Manitoba Maple tree in my yard this past summer and 1 lady commented on how she remembers the day that tree was planted.  She is very grateful to see it gone though as it had been allowed to grow out of control and would litter her yard with maple keys every year.  You can see the size of this maple tree in the second picture with this post.
