Alright here is my paragraph explaining the history of the Bread and Honey festival

Since 1973, in an effort to retain a separate identity from the larger city of Mississauga, The Promotion Committee of the town of Streetsville held the first Bread and Honey Festival. This was an acknowledgement to the town’s history and its involvement with milling as Kraft Canada and ADM Milling Ltd had well-established flourmills in the area. The festival was an astounding success, which led to the Bread and Honey festival becoming an annual event being held on the first weekend of June. In 1974, it was incorporated, with Sam McCallion as Charter President.

By the way, i know everyone knows, and our group is called streetsville.. but our topic is streetsville and the band was a no go. RyderPatrick (talk) 02:48, 27 March 2012 (UTC)RyderPatrick

Someone should add some extra information on the economy of Streetsville, there is one short sentence there I am sure we can add more. I'm going to add some more info about the Bread and Honey festival and the Santa Clause parade. Kozzy39 (talk) 04:23, 27 March 2012 (UTC)Kozzy39

Geoff that sounds good ! And I'm going to add a section about the streetsville tigers as you guys know! And I'm gonna research some more for things to talk about! Going good so far guys! RyderPatrick (talk) 00:00, 28 March 2012 (UTC)RyderPatrick

HEY GUYS What do you think about adding this section to the page? and do you think the Citation is okay?

The Streetsville Tigers have been around since 1946. Streetsville along with seven other communities in the Toronto Township formed the T.T.H.L. In 1962 the Streetsville and District Minor Hockey Association began to play in their new rink, Vic Johnston Community Centre. During the early years the Streetsville’s Hockey team played under many names including, the Thunderbirds, Hounds, Tigers, Kings, and Panthers. In the 1967-68 season they left the T.T.H.L. Streetsville iced five teams to played in the Tri-County A league of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association at the start of the 1968-69 season. That first season included, The novice Thunderbirds, The IGA Pee Wees', The Hutt Fence Bantams, The Maple Lodge Midgets and the Juvenile Derbies. Streetsville won two championships that year.

In the late eighties then President, the late Bill Mann and the hockey executive embarked on a name search for the Streetsville Rep teams. The winning name chosen was Tigers, from that date on the name and team colours were adopted into the Rules and Regulations. The next step was to find a logo and that occurred the following season. The Tiger logo was designed and adopted in 1990 and has been incorporated into all tiger equipment, sweaters, pants, equipment bags, hats and jackets.

The Tigers moved to the O.M.H.A. Central AAA league in 1991-1992 where they competed for four years. Since joining the G.T.H.L. the Tiger teams have been very competitive winning two Divisional Champions, one Carnation Cup and one City Championship. 2006 the Streetsville Tigers Celebrated 60 years of hockey in Streetsville.

hey guys so i posted this above section^^ to the streetsville page should i add some more stuff to the streetsville page, or do you think each of us should add just one thing to the page and that would be 4 edits? RyderPatrick (talk)RyderPatrick

Hey Pat, you should add a little bit about the whole renovation on Vic Johnson arena, also you can include a little information about the Streetsville Derbys the jr. A team that used to play there. Kozzy39 (talk) 03:44, 28 March 2012 (UTC)Kozzy39

This is my recommendation for the first sentence - The Streetsville Tigers Minor Hockey Association was established in the year 1946. All the information looks good and the reference is good as well. I would add what day you referenced the website on the reference list Kozzy39 (talk) 03:44, 28 March 2012 (UTC)Kozzy39

Here is some more information that I added about the Bread and Honey festival. Let me know if there is any changes that you see that should be made.

In 1984, the Bread and Honey festival merged together with the Kinsmen Club, Lions Club, and Rotary Club as a cooperative community project. Many volunteers are needed for the organization and operation of the festival as in 1990 the festival moved from being a one-day event, to becoming a weekend festival.

Currently the Bread and Honey festival is held at Streetsville Memorial Park, which is a natural amphitheater that contains 30 acres of land on the pristine Credit River. New for 2012 the Mississauga Transit (MiWay) is running free shuttle service for residents at select points. Kozzy39 (talk) 16:34, 28 March 2012 (UTC)Kozzy39

I was working on my part of the project, and noticed that your changes have already been applied. Did anyone manage to take screenshots before creating changes ? S.ahmed7(talk)

I've decided to add a "Community Node" section and I've got some pictures. Are we allowed to add pictures? If so, any clues on how to add a picture? S.ahmed7(talk)

Yeah Geoff Took them before, and there is a tutorial somewhere if you go to help on the side RyderPatrick (talk) 00:34, 29 March 2012 (UTC)RyderPatrick

Okay so here is my part that i edited S.ahmed7(talk)

Community

Streetsville as a Community Node

Streetsville is a tight community and has its place in history with its closely connected village-type node. It is home to many historical buildings due to its 19th century atmosphere. Streetsville is known as a Community Node, and therefore provides various resources applicable to a Community Node. The city of Mississauga focuses on Streetsville’s urban structure to grow in existing and proposed services and the community infrastructure. As a community node, there are many things in Streetsville that are used on a day-to-day basis. This includes: local shops, restaurants, community facilities, entertainment, schools, parks, and an impressive housing stock that meets the requirements of new residents.

Also, I added a picture to the Demographics section. It explains where the people of streetsville are employed. The percentage data is quite recent and provides a good insight on the types of jobs available and how the employees are distributed. S.ahmed7 (talk)

Sweet stuff just send me your screen shots RyderPatrick (talk) 03:10, 29 March 2012 (UTC)RyderPatrick patrick_ryder_@hotmail.com

If there are any grammatical errors in my work, I'd love to have it edited. By the way, I updated the population because the previous number was from 2001. Here's a shot of what it looked like before I changed it. S.ahmed7(talk)

Hey Pat, I changed up your information about the Derby's by just adding a little bit of information about it. Let me know what you think? (Original) - Streetsville Hockey doesn't stop there they also have very successful Junior A team, the Streetsville Derbys. (New) - Streetsville had a successful Junior A hockey club the Streetsville Derbys which played out of Vic Johnson Arena. At the conclusion of the 2007 season, the Derbys moved to a new location, Westwood Arena in Rexdale, Ontario. In 2011 with the Ontario Junior Hockey League's goal of contraction, the Derby's merged with the Cobourg Cougars. Kozzy39 (talk) 04:18, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Kozzy39

Just added this last piece of extra information for the Bread and Honey festival

Some of the events that take place over the course of the weekend include live musical performances, a carnival run by the Lions club, and a consumers market with over 100 vendors. The main attraction over the weekend would be the parade that proceeds south on Queen Street to Old Station Road. Kozzy39 (talk) 06:11, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Kozzy39
