Images from the 2009 Oille Fountain Potting Ceremony
Each year the Historical Society holds a ceremony where a geranium is planted on the top of the Oille Fountain in downtown St. Catharines. This is done in commemoration of the donation of the first public drinking fountain in St. Catharines by Dr. Lucius Oille in 1878. This is the 33rd annual ceremony and descendants of Dr. Oille were in attendance. Photos provided by Maurice Gomme.
