While looking for a house in London, Lorna and Oliver’s daugh - ter, Christina, unabashedly fell in love with Byron. The calming pace of the community with kind faces everywhere, families with deep roots, and newer families with bold dreams all seemed to share the values of what makes community inclusive and strong. Lorna and Oliver enjoy the extended family they found at Byron United Church, and Christina is hoping to open a bu- siness in London and relocate to Byron.

They eventually settled in Caledon, and in 2022, Lorna and Oliver retired to London. When they left Jamaica, Oliver’s grandmother gave Lorna the rec- ipes for her most cherished des- serts, which were lovingly prepared for the tea parties she hosted in Jamaica. Lorna’s favourite was her grandma’s pineapple upside-down cake, which she continues to make for special occasions.
