Cavendish - images of bygone days

Below is a photo I found in an old tourist booklet - the aerial image is is overlooking Cavendish Corner - in the foreground is the Bungalow Courts - today this is hidden in a forest of spruce trees. c. late 1950's.

Below: Lakeview Lodge Postcard, c. 1960s. Lakeview Lodge was names for its views of the lake, however, all the Parks Canada property between the Lodge and the Lake has overgrown in thick spruce trees which block all views in all directions today.

Below: 1898 photo titled, Camping in Cavendish. cf. Public Archives of PEI

HERITAGE PRAYER

We keep forgetting all of those who lived before us.

We keep forgetting those who lived and worked in our communities.
We keep forgetting those who prayed and sang hymns in our churches before we were born.
We keep forgetting what our fathers have done for us.
We commit the sin, Lord, of assuming that everything begins with us.

We drink from wells we did not find.
We eat food from farmland we did not develop.
We enjoy freedoms which we have not earned.
We worship in churches which we did not build.
We live in communities we did not establish.
This day, make us grateful for our heritage.

Amen
