Calvin Social Group
Dancers enjoyed live music at weekly classes until 2004; Don Bartlett was at the piano for many of those years and continued to play at Christmas and spring parties. The lower hall at Calvin Church was once filled with dancers on Tuesday evenings.
…The Calvin Committee
In March 1961, a local Toronto television show visited Calvin Scottish Country Dancers, and gave a lively account of the group.
One viewer commented: “Probably the best SCD video on Youtube, pure joy without prissiness. Hooray~!!~! passing left shoulder in Mairi's Wedding! How sad that these folk are probably all gone now. Al Boliska himself died aged 40 in 1972”
