Hi John and Doug,

It was nice listening to the podcast. It brought back many fond memories.

I have some photos of the Oak on Bronte Road submitted during our Oakville Heritage Tree Hunts in 2007 and 2008. I have attached one of my favourites taken by Oakville photographer Jackie Osmond Patrick that she called 'Wisdom'. I have several from her and others who submitted images for our contest. (The contest was a joint effort of Oakvillegreen Conservation Association, Oakville Horticultural Society, and the Town of Oakville).

Back in 2010, I was contacted by one of Oakville's Heritage Planners, Susan Schappert, when the Town was considering having the tree designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA).  I know Jack Radecki contributed a writeup using the OUFC Heritage Tree guidelines. He and or Susan may have photographs as well. (Unfortunately, I don't believe the Town ever completed the designation process.)

Cheers,
Cathy Kavassalis

I'm not sure if I asked you, do you have any photos of the oak tree, past or present, that you could send me that I could share on social media?

Thanks again!

Doug
