Merville Turns One Hundred
The Comox Valley is anticipating a birthday bash in September, 2019, when the community of Merville will be celebrating its 100 year anniversary. In the spring of 1919 the Soldier Settlement community was officially formed with land grants being offered to returning First World War veterans. In the fall of 1919, Edward, the Prince of Wales, made a visit to the community and even planted a tree to commemorate the occasion. The Merville Community Association board, keepers of the Big Yellow Merville hall, are planning to have the 3 acre Merville hall site the epicenter of the celebration and it will host a whoop up party for one and all to celebrate the centennial.
