Teeswater Culross “Old Boys Reunion”

The first Reunion was held in 1905. The purpose of this Reunion was to bring together families who had been pioneers in Culross and Teeswater in 1860s to 1990s eras. Many sons and daughters of these pioneers had become the pioneers who went west to open up and settle in Western Canada and the United States. In some cases the whole family had gone west to homestead. For example the reeve of Teeswater was the first mayor of Pilot Mound Manitoba in 1883.

The plan was to have a Reunion every ten years, but by 1915, World War I was everyone’s concern. So in 1919 became the year for the next Reunion. It has been held every tenth year since that time. This is the eleventh such Reunion.

In 1905 the term “Old Boys” was used to denote those people who would be returning to Culross & Teeswater to renew old acquaintances or visit their old home or relive the memories of their younger years. In 1905 organizers of the Reunion didn’t have to worry too much about the term “Old Boys” vs. “Old Girls” compared to what the reaction would be like in 2009. So down through the years “Old Boys” has become the accepted name for the Reunion.

Making a profit is not the intent of the Reunion, but all Reunions showed a profit. In theses cases the money is earmarked for some worth while community need. For example in 1929, the local cenotaph was dedicated to those men & women who fell in World War I.
