Ballantrae Child Care Centre is a non-profit corporation that has been in operation at the Ballantrae Community Centre since it began in 1987. In September 2007, Ballantrae Child Care moved into Ballantrae Public School, in cooperation with the York District School Board. Ballantrae Child Care Centre is committed to meeting the social, emotional, physical and intellectual needs of each child. Each aspect of development is inter-related. It is our goal that each child will have every opportunity to develop his/her potential. The realization of these goals can best be achieved in a warm, relaxed environment which is conducive to the individual needs of children and provides opportunities for various learning experiences.
Just below, you will find an extended history of our parish of St. Joseph's here in Bowmanville. What is always clear in reading such a history is the knowledge that we are who we are because of the traditions and values of our parents and grandparents and a whole history of people who sought a world rich in gospel values, who had a faith tradition that gave their lives meaning and value and holiness. The history of our parish of St. Joseph's takes us back to 1850 when Fr. Michel Timlin came from St. Michael's Parish in Cobourg to celebrate Mass in people's homes. A church was built on the north side of Church Street, west of Division in 1867 and in 1958, the first Mass was celebrated on Christmas Eve in our present church here on Liberty Street.
Ontario is Canada's second largest province, covering more than one million square kilometres (415,000 square miles) - an area larger than France and Spain combined. The varied landscape includes the vast, rocky and mineral-rich Canadian Shield, which separates the fertile farmland in the south and the grassy lowlands of the north.
