Notes

The Smit family stayed at the Algoma Tourist Camp in 1957 when Mrs. Smit's father (Mr. Geldof) came from Holland for a visit.

The Algoma Tourist Camp was located on the north side of Highway 2, east of Garden Street, opposite where Lupin Drive meets Highway 2 (at 732 Dundas Street East). In the 1960s it became the Canadiana Motel.
