Description of the Property: 1 Prince Street is also known as the Glen Williams Town Hall. The property is legally described as Lot 65, Plan 49, East of South Side of Prince Street, Town of Halton Hills, Regional Municipality of Halton. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest: The Glen Williams Town Hall has an exterior made of local hand-pressed red clay brick, erected in 1870-71 by Georgetown builder Walter McKay. It has been the center of village life and has served the community in various capacities (socially, educationally, politically and religiously) since 1871. The Glen Williams Town Hall is a typical example of a village community hall built of local brick in a colonial Cape Cod style. Its architectural features are the Flemish bond brick pattern, the double hung multi-paned windows and two large wooden entry doors. The hall has been central to the history of the Village of Glen Williams from its opening in 1871, being associated especially with Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery. Further information respecting the proposed designation is available for viewing in the Clerks Department, Civic Centre, 1 Halton Hills Drive, Halton Hills during regular business hours. Any person may, by December 17, 2007, (within 30 days after the date of the publication of this notice) serve written notice of objection to the proposed designation with the Clerks Department, together with a statement for the objection and all relevant facts. Dated at the Town of Halton Hills this 16th day of November 2007.

Its something of a daily morning ritual, where we accompany each other for our first-thing-in-the-morning caffeine fix. And we alternate on who pays. Since weve been doing this for as long as we can both remember (which, judging from our age might be a month at best) we know exactly how much it costs for a small tea, small coffee, plus a blueberry muffin and fruit and fibre muffin. And having such a predictable standing order at McDonalds, two things happen the server knows what we want before we get to the counter, and we know exactly how much change we need to have out of our pocket in our hot little hands its $2.95. Monday morning was my turn to pay, so I dug deep into my pocket to haul out a hand- ful of coins. Counting through them, I found an odd coin, one that at first looked like a dime, but upon closer inspection (which is tough for anyone over 50) I found it was a bit heavier, and a tiny bit bigger. The words on the coin were Ceska Republika 2003 and on the other side it read 1 Koruna Ceska. Ever seen anything like that? I asked. Kevin is also in that post-50 age group, and he squinted a bit to look at the coin as well. Hmm, looks like a Google to me, he replied, as we made our way to McDonalds. So I later f ired up the computer and Googled the Ceska Republika. It didnt take long to discover it was the Czech Republic, and I found an informative official website (available in every language in Europe) that told of all the aspects of the country, its tourism opportunities, and some of its history. I also learned the Koruna Ceska is part of their currency. I couldnt imagine how a Koruna Ceska ended up in my pocketful of change, but was likely given to me when someone made change for a purchase, mistaking it for a dime. In this age of mechanized coin counters in banks and other financial institutions, (not to mention coin-operated vending machines) the odds of it getting very far through the banking system were a bit remote, since its a different weight and size to any Canadian coin. But regardless, it ended up in my pocket. I read a bit about this Czech currency, and found the Koruna Ceska had been brought into existence February 8, 1993, when it and its Slovak counterpart both replaced the Czechoslovak koruna. I also read that the Czech Republic plans to adopt the Euro in 2012, so if Im gonna take a trip to the Czech Republic to spend it, then Ill have to plan it soon, within the next four years. Then the next burning question hit me. How much is it worth? I explored a couple of currency converter websites and I discovered it was worth $0.047 US, which, when converted into Canadian money, turned out to be a little more than 4 cents. That was the most annoying part of my discovery I was short-changed 6 cents! Whats a Koruna Ceska worth?
