tradition. |

is its virtual counterpart, are Mr. Ecklund's gift to Hamilton
artists, who have long been in need of an international forum
in which they can showcase their work.

local artists for this assignment.

and manor house, which was once the home of the Honorable

most influential merchant in Canada. Mr. Ecklund's purpose
in sponsoring the construction of Auchmar.Info is to educate
Hamilton residents about their own rich history as well
as honor those who contributed to it.

Mineral Springs Online- In
June 2007, Mr. Ecklund purchased a property on the Mineral
Springs Road, in rural Ancaster. Research into the property's
background convinced him that the colorful and vibrant history

the community's history and preserve it via the Internet.
Mineralsprings.ca is his gift toward the
preservation of Ancaster history.

visit the famous sulphur spring today. Mr. Ecklund purchased
a property on the Sulphur Springs Road, and has expressed
his intention to put the community's history online for permanent
and easy access. Sulphursprings.ca is his
gift to local heritage preservation.
