Our web site was started in September 2001. The Uniacke Newsletter itself is in its 39th year of distribution. We are completely volunteer and enjoy sharing our community with you. Our "miscellaneous" section was created with the February 2004 issue. Prior to that date, all articles are found under either "news" or "events". We apologize for this inconvenience but there is just too much information to change the set-up for the original articles. We cannot complete the archive information from previous editions of the Uniacke Newsletter due to lack of time.

Call us at 902-452-0603 for our ad pricing. Please leave a voicemail message. We promise to return the call.

Any ads, notices or requests printed in the Uniacke Newsletter do not necessarily reflect the editor's opinions.

Sadie Siroy History of Mount Uniacke - The Symbol of Peace in a Steeple

Written by The Late Sadie Siroy

To All Newsletter Readers

Since Ronald Mizon, who was sent here from Britain with his sister Bessie during the war, contacted our Newsletter via e-mail several years ago offering to write about their “visit” to our community and surrounding communities, it has tweaked the interest of a lot of our newer residents as to the history of our community. Ronald’s stories will continue but we thought it would be nice to resurrect some of the stories of the history of our community as seen/experienced through the eyes of one of our late, older residents.

We know there are many, many people out there who could share their knowledge and experiences of our community’s history with all our new community residents, and we urge you to do so.

Beginning in 1979, one of our older residents, the late Sadie Siroy, wrote many, many articles on the history of Mount Uniacke/Lakelands for the Uniacke Newsletter and since we have been requested for historical stories relating to our community, we have decided to re-write Sadie’s stories in this issue and coming issues to relive the history of the building of Mount Uniacke/Lakelands and what it means to the older residents and their families.

We hope you enjoy them.
