Greenhouses Dutch-Canadians and Maplehurst School Aldershot

Vanderknyffs Burlington Dunnville: A Dutch-Canadian family in the greenhouse business I'm kidding, of course, according to Hamilton Spectator. Greenhouses and Dutch-Canadians, especially those who settled in the Niagara peninsula, go together like, well, like Gouda cheese, wooden shoes and windmills. The Vanderknyffs settled first in Burlington, where young Arie went to Maplehurst School in Aldershot, and later in Dunnville, where his father started up a greenhouse business, which Arie eventually took over and which he has since passed on to his son Stuart, who Arie now calls his "boss." Imagine that. Which brings us to our theme. After all, windmills and Canada went together like, well, fish and bicycles. The Vanderknyffs of Burlington/Dunnville must have thought, when they left Holland, that they were leaving behind the family long, long tradition as windmill operators. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
