Many of the settlers, especially from the first two groups, left the RRS early in its history. By the time TLSARL was established 100 years ago, many of the relationships with those people had become so distant that the ties had dissolved. Some of those settlers left with very bad memories, and their descendants may not have wanted, in 1910, to have anything to do with remembering RRS history – who knows? In any case, their descendants often are not known to us at TLSARL.

We are looking for TLSARL members willing to volunteer some of their time to man the “booth” we have at the Scottish Pavilion at Folklorama in Winnipeg during the first week of August. Here’s a chance to set off our new banner with your blazing smile and cheerful banter! Bring your camera and take a photo for the Newsletter! Meet lots of Scottish enthusiasts! Immerse yourself in Scottish culture! What a blast!
