1915. Independent Order of Odd Fellows on Decoration Sunday parade in August 1915. It is going along Birch Street and has just passed Aberdeen Street. The low flat-topped house on the right was owned by Robert White and was situated on the now empty lot where the bakery was located in the 1960. Note the Bernier residence and the newly completed Crichton home with double verandah on the north-west corner of Birch and Aberdeen.

The only known person in this parade is the one in the centre with a straw hat and walking stick, the Reverend Canon Prewer, principal of the Indian Residential School.
