Talk Back

Welcome to the all-about-perth.com TALK BACK page. Part of the objective of this site is 'dialog'. To make this a two way dialog, we would like to hear you thoughts about the site, about Perth etc.

See below - this guestbook has been shut down permanently. As an alternative I invite you to visit the all-about-perth.com BLOG

I found your site when looking for information about Ontario. Very nice and informative. I made a link from my website, so everyone can enjoy it. When placing this link is a problem, please let me know and i will remove it from my site. You can find my website at: http://jkersten.topcities.com Greetings from Holland Jan Kersten

On recent trips to the Perth Farmers' Market, I was informed that purchasing eggs at the market would now constitute an illegal act. Recent changes to regulations made it illegal for farmers to sell "ungraded eggs" at the market, although they were still able to sell them at the farm gate.

Grading stations are very expensive items for the very small egg producer, and hence are unrealistic.

The people involved provided me with a reference to http://www.farm-facts-or-fiction.org which reveals that there seems to be a movement underway to elliminate the family farm.

I encourage to read the information at this site and if you are as concerned as me about what you read, contact the Prime Minister and other elected officials to raise your concern.

We are blessed to have been able to call Silver Lake(Maberly) our seasonal home since 1972. We our proud of our record of staying happily married after exchanging vows in Perth, having the pictures done in that georgeus park. The thought/knowledge of being able to soon make Perth our all season home sustains us through some classic "sandwich generation" type challenges. Your web site is indeed a treasure. Here's to PERTH, Cheers from Cathy & Reinhard

Please Note: - the all-about-perth.com Talk Back Facility has been non operational for a while due to major changes at the internet provider end.

The problems should now be resolved. Thanks for your patience.

Hi- I recently met my older sister for the first time. i couln't have imagined a better place to do it in that her hometown, Perth. We met at Roosters and it was beautiful. -Rach

Nice site will mention it on my blog http://perthblog.co.uk!

Perth is one of the most beautiful towns I've ever visited. I'm glad I stumbled upon this site. Keep up the good work!

The Ottawa Business Journal did a great little radio piece on the site on CFRA.. and also have a article on Perth and the all-about-perth.com website. It's called "NEIGHBOURHOOD RETAIL WATCH: Perth woos Ottawa shoppers on Internet By Ottawa Business Journal Staff [Wed, Jan 14, 2004 12:00 AM EST]" Click on the Ottawa Business Journal Link to read it. Cheers...Hugh

We love the aura of the Greater Perth area. Our goal is to relocate with our two children 7-10, someday soon. We appreciate the relaxed feeling that only Lanark County's scenic beauty can reward.

great site ... i hope we can see a great new work in the future god blees

This is a great site for a wonderful town. I just visited Perth for the holidays and it's as pretty as ever (although at this time of year it would have been even nicer under a thin blanket of snow!) I'm a descendant of one of the Glen Tay Chaplins (Burton), who died in 1969 and one of his sons, Arnold, who died in 2002. IWe are cousins of the Chaplin Dairy family. I am always interested in finding out more about how long the Chaplins have been in Perth...er...Glen Tay and if anyone knows who settled the town of Chaplin, Saskatchewan and if there is a Glen Tay connection to that?

I was on a search engine, looking up my old home town of Perth, and I stumbled upon your site. Great job, it brings back many memories. Thank you.

This is the company that designed the site... CyberSpace Industries 2000 Inc. also operating out of 40 Gore Street in Perth, Ontario

Could you tell me who have made design for your site

Greetings from Midland Michigan USA Hi I am looking for some relatives that came to Perth and or Bathurst between 1832 and 1844 from County Wexford Ireland . They attended St John the Baptist Catholic Church. They were Michael and Margaret Foley and their six children. In 1850 they left for Emmett, St Clair County Michigan. One of their children Thomas Foley and his wife Elizabeth Harper Foley stayed behind in Bathurst. If anyone knows of any relations of this family please contact me. Thank you very much Deanna Steele

Ottawa has introduced a Smart Capital initiative. See the forums we have set up:

Hi Sally... If Perth, Ontario is the Perth you are looking for, then maybe some other reader can assist. Perhaps I should start up a new section in the "Past" called "Genealogy Help".. as there was a couple from Brandon Manitoba looking for the descendents of John Donald and Marion Duncan.

Residents of Ottawa have a new gateway to this site - clicking here will get you there.

I was looking for some information on my grandfather and ran across your site. If this is the right Perth, then my grandfather was the Chief Of Police in the early 1900's. His name was Morley DeWitt White. My mother was born upstairs over the fire station if my recall is correct. If I can find out if I am in the right town then I hope to come and visit someday. Canada rocks

I decided to check out your website because I was born in Perth, Ontario in 1959. I don't remember alot about the old Perth because we moved to Toronto when I was five years old but I have visited many times over the years. I was astonished to see how much development there is. Your website has given me some insite into my hometown that I wasn't even aware of. Thanks.

This site is great! I was searching today for some Perth sites to remind me of home (I'm away at school) and stumbled upon this page.. I love it! great work.

Wow ! ...I didn't know Perth was so cool ! I Love living here ! Rock on Perth !

Great site, it´s now in my bookmarks, I´ll be back very soon to see any update, keep up the good work!

Being a designer my self, i can see the time and effort that has gone into this site. Great effort!

I enjoyed. Thank you. keith

Hey, it's pretty cool to find a site about where you live by mistake. (It's a small world after all). Nice site too, by the way.

We just returned after a week spent in your Beautiful town: we met such friendly "natives" we shall return!!

Hello Hugh, My name is Jack Paterson originally from Perth in Scotland from which your lovely town takes its name. Like you we have a River Tay, rather than Tay river, and indeed in parallel to your golf story, the North Inch course in Perth is reputed to be the oldest course, not club, in the world. It goes back to the 15th century. Perth itself dates from Roman times. The original name is said to be Bertha which has been corrupted to Perth. The story goes that as Agricola marched his army into the valley of the Tay he saw seven hills surrounding the valley and was reminded of Rome which is surrounded by seven hills. He is reputed to have said, "Ecce Tiber, Ecce Roma." which in English is "Look, the Tiber, Look, Rome." No doubt Perth, Scotland figures in your plans for 'Perths of the world'. If I can help please let me know. By the way, I now live in Totnes in Devon, South West England, a very lovely Elizabethan Town, the second oldest borough in England. My best wishes for your continued development of the Perth website. Yours aye, Jack Paterson

Welcome to the new Talk Back Facility

One intent from the start for this site was dialog. To this end I have implemented this Talk Back facility to start the two way dialog. I hope that explorers of the site will take the time to share their views about the site.

I am always looking for new "Perth" Stories, so let me know what your story is.

Segments we are working on are:

• People of Perth - Past, Present, Future
• Last Duel - a multimedia exploration
• Perths of the World

Hope to hear from you all soon.

Cheers...Hugh
