Last night, we visited the Diocese of London and met with Debra Majer and Tiffany Champagne.

They showed us some fantastic history that we don’t think Sarnia has had access to until now.

“I’ve been waiting for about a decade for these records to be made available” says Majer. “The catholic history of Sarnia and Lambton County should not be viewed as a separate history to the area but one that is interwoven into the overall history. Historical records from the Diocesan Archives contribute to the overall social and built history of our counties and province. This opportunity to work with the society is exciting for the Diocesan Archives and we look for forward to a wonderful partnership!”
