is based on the life’s work of David Ashe, who while employed as a draftsperson with the Town of Oakville compiled a listing of legal survey plans and registry information on the streets of Oakville. Being a researcher at heart, he spent countless hours of his spare time gathering the history behind Oakville’s streets.
Known for her Ghost books and for spearheading a campaign to save the Woodlands White Oak, Joyce Burnell
has picked a selection of Ashe’s street histories and has added several Oakville landmarks – some of which are no longer here. Complement this with interesting archival images – some never before seen – combined with newer colour photographs and you have an intriguing reflection of Oakville’s unique history.
