Billie Grainger was surrounded by family as she celebrated her 100th birthday in fine style, with a drive-by of friends and admirers, classic cars, fire trucks and Grey-Simcoe Foresters.
Neighbours around Owen Heights Park, where Mrs. Grainger has lived for over 70 years, sat on their porches to watch the parade, and dropped over with cards, flowers and best wishes.
MP Alex Ruff brought greetings from himself, MPP Bill Walker, Prime Minister Trudeau and Her Majesty the Queen. The Mayor shared memories and the best wishes of the City.
