It’s Wayback Wednesday brought to you by Cavalcade Color Lab! Huntsville’s lakes see aircraft traffic in the summer, but a winter landing would be rare indeed. Can you guess where and why this plane landed on the ice, and the year this photo was taken? (Image courtesy of Muskoka Digital Archives.)

Last week we shared this photo with you:
Arvina Bennett ventured: “Mayor Sid Avery with Chief Bigwin on steps of Town Hall, probably 1954/55 or ’56”
Arvina, you are correct on the people. In this 1936 photo, Mayor Sydney Avery (with paper) and Chief John Bigwin (in traditional dress at right) are on the steps of Town Hall to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the incorporation of the village of Huntsville. Huntsville was later incorporated as a town in 1901.
Does anyone know who the young man in indigenous clothing is, second from left?
