Capreol,
Sept. 1968: “The railway town of 2,000 celebrated its 50th anniversary Monday
in the rain. All the events took place as scheduled but the rain reduced the
number of spectators. The day began with a memorial service sponsored by
Capreol Branch 179 of the Royal Canadian Legion. At 2 p.m. the town flag was
raised for the first time at Prescott Park on Bloor St. Mayor Harold Prescott
reserved the honor of raising the flag himself.
Beaver, Maple
It was
at Prescott's instigation that the flag was designed and purchased. It
consists of a brown beaver on a gold maple leaf against a blue background.
Capreol is spelled down the staff end of the flag. A good-sized crowd turned
out for the flag-raising, and the Capreol Legion Drum and Bugle Corps took
part. Mayor Merle Dickerson of North Bay also took part in the ceremony. The
baseball game between two teams of the town league lasted only two innings,
before it was called on account of rain.
