How Times Have Changed!

I recently came across this old photo of a barn raising in Brampton, Ontario at the end of the 19th century.

Two hundred people are gathered around, some high on rafters I can't imagine climbing!

That wouldn't happen today!















Later, walking downtown, I notice the scaffolding around a tower being repaired on Parliament Hill!

That typifies 21st century construction: Fewer people and a lot more concern for safety. How times have changed!
