Windsor Centennial Celebration – 1954

The centennial celebrations of 1954 were a big deal, and city wide celebrations were held.

This photo is dated September 2, 1954, and the caption on the back reads:

    “Duchess of Kent, Mayor Reaume of Windsor, and Princess Alexandra stand to receive welcome by guest at banquet in Prince Edward Hotel.”

More info about Princess Alexandra can be found here.

Have a safe long weekend everyone. See you back here Monday.

  • BBS - back in 2002/2003 I brought that up to the powers that be.... I was told that too much emphasis and money had been spent in 1992 on the centennial (there's still a rug in council chambers) of Windsor's incorporation as a city.

    That to celebrate the actual 150th anniversary of Windsor, would be too confusing for people.

    So it was in the end duly ignored by everyone in the city.
