Ronald Warren Ball Diamond

This Ball Diamond is named in recognition of the extensive community service of Ronald Warren. Through his extensive community involvement, Ronald Warren embarked on a journey to acquire a much-needed ball park for Kenmore Village in the late 1970's Ronald Warren's tireless commitment to his community was shown by his strong leadership throughout the planning and construction of the ball diamond.

Bridgemaster's House

A white clapboard building in Burritt's Rapids, now the local library, was originally the bridgemaster's house. The bridgemaster operated the swing bridge on Grenville Street that crosses the south fork of the Rideau River.

The building, designed by David Ewart and constructed between 1913 to 1915, replaced an earlier one from the 1850s. On August 1, 1992 the bridgemaster's house, a Rideau Canal National Historic Site, was designated a Federal Heritage Building.

On June 22, 1982, in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Rideau Canal, this Bridgemaster's House, renovated by Parks Canada, was opened to be used as a library by the Township of Oxford-on-Rideau.

Le 22 juin 1982, en commémoration du 150^e anniversaire du canal Rideau, la residence du maïtre pontier, rénovée par Parcs Canada, devenait une bibliothèque à l'usage de la municipalité d'Oxford-on-Rideau.

ALEXANDER CAMERON RUTHERFORD 1857-1941

The first premier of Alberta, Rutherford was born in Osgoode Township of Scottish parents and educated at McGill University. In 1895, after practising law in Ottawa and Kemptville, he moved to Strathcona, near Edmonton. Elected to the territorial assembly seven years later, Rutherford achieved prominence as deputy speaker of the legislature. When the province of Alberta was created in 1905, he became premier, provincial treasurer and minister of education in the first government. Rutherford skillfully established the province's administrative, judicial and educational framework, but prolonged debate regarding a controversial railway policy precipitated his resignation as premier in 1910. Although retired from politics after 1913, he retained and active interest in educational matters, serving as chancellor of the University of Alberta from 1927 until his death.

Après avoir fait ses études à McGill University et exercé la profession d'avocat à Ottawa et à Kemptville, il s'intalla en 1895 à Strathcona, près d'Edmondon. Élu à l'assemblée territoriale sept ans plus tard. Rutherford devint vice-président de l'Assemblée législative. Lors de la création de la province  d'Alberta, en 1905, il fut nommé premier ministre, trésorier et ministre de l'Éducation. Rutherford établit avec compétence la structure administrative, judiciaire et scolaire de la province, mais une politique ierroviaire controversée précipita sa démission du poste de premier ministre en 1910. S'étant rétiré de la politique après 1913, il continua à s'intéresser à l'enseignement. Il fut chancelier de l'University of Alberta de 1927 à sa mort.
