Brian Baker recounts his emigration from England to Innisfil as a 12 year old, and being one of the first farming families to arrive by airplane (Pan-American Airlines) instead of boat. They first arrived in New York and then took a train to Toronto, and then to Barrie. He and his family arrived on the 18th of April to find everything covered in snow and most roads were closed. They purchased the north half of lot 4 Concession 4 as it was located close to his maternal uncle Stan Winter's property.
