Did you know Emery has its own musical legend? Bill Nadeau went from his Emery roots to stages all across Canada.

You might know him from his 45+ years playing clubs, corporate gigs, and private shows, or maybe you remember him from his days at Emery Collegiate! Even when the high school music program turned him away for lacking prerequisites (their loss!), Bill kept practicing, found his sound on Bradstock Road, and spent years touring the country with bands like Sledge and Repeat Offenders.

Eventually, he figured out a way to balance life, business, and his passion and started his own solo setup as the “21st Century Binary Backup Band” to keep the live music alive. Today, you can still catch him rocking out at various bars and events in Ontario!

We love celebrating locals who never lose their spark. Check out some throwback moments and snippets from his incredible journey.

Flashback Friday Time!

Back in 1955, the intersection of Finch and Weston wasn’t a busy urban hub, but a quaint pioneer town surrounded by farmland.

The first photo shows Emery’s original brick schoolhouse (built in 1914!) and the community church exactly how they looked over 70 years ago.

Fast forward to today, and the landscape has completely transformed thanks to decades of rapid development, starting with builders like Camillo Milani in the 50s.

While the old schoolhouse and the church are gone, the history definitely isn’t forgotten.

If you walk around the area today, you can spot the historic markers put up by the Emery Village BIA tracking everyone from the early Huron-Wendat inhabitants to the 1795 pioneer homesteaders. We are also in the process of installing two more historical markers along Finch!

With new spots and revitalization happening at the crossroads right now, it’s amazing to see how much history is packed into one single intersection.

Next time you pass through Finch and Weston, remember you’re walking through centuries of stories!
