Enid Page of
Aylmer
The name of Enid Page is synonymous with the Aylmer Heritage Association which is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2005. Currently the association’s President, a position she has held for six of the past ten year, Enid has volunteered with the organization since the 1980s as an archivist, lobbyist, educator, and passionate heritage promoter and educator. Enid has a vast knowledge of Aylmer’s heritage buildings and founding families, and is credited with the preservation of many heritage buildings and with setting up Aylmer’s heritage corridor together with the former city of Aylmer. She has also influenced standards for new construction in areas designated as heritage.
Enid Page played a major hand in securing the Aylmer Heritage Association’s current home in the old Methodist church building, also known as the Farley house, at the corner of Aylmer Road and Avenue du Golf. When the building became available, Ms Page petitioned the city to use it and negotiated a 25-year lease for the association. She has also recently helped to qualify the building for a federal subsidy which will allow for the restoration of the second floor.
