Bruce County’s 150th anniversary celebrations ended Thursday with the dedication of a time capsule.
It's to be opened by Bruce County residents celebrating their 200th Anniversary in 2067.
The time capsule is actually a two-piece set of luggage from the early 1950s, purchased as part of a wedding trousseau by a Bruce County resident who was born and raised in Purple Valley.
Along with a message from the warden and a booklet that included photos of all the past wardens, there are a variety of items included that were forwarded from The Bruce 150th Committee, the eight municipalities, and all the county departments.
In the message from the 2017 Warden Mitch Twolan, the residents of Bruce County in 2067 "are challenged to take the roads less travelled and to keep exploring new and sustainable choices for Bruce County the place, and Bruce County the organization."
Kelley Coulter CAO added, "There is an importance to appreciate that stories are the basis of all communications. This time capsule will tell the story of Bruce County’s journey over our first 150 years."
The contents of the time capsule will be on display at various locations throughout the County until the end of July when it will be permanently located in county council chambers.
