The London Ski Club was incorporated in 1949 as a non-profit organization. By 1979, the London Ski Club had grown immensely and plans for expansion were put into motion. New slopes were added, providing skiers with more vertical inclines and sharper turns. The Byron Ski Hill was served by three T-bar lifts throughout the 1970s and 80s, and one was replaced by a quad-chairlift in the early 1990s. A second expansion took place in 1990, which included the construction of a new chairlift and a state-of-the- art snow-making machine. A single quad-chairlift replaced two T-Bars in 2003. Today, Boler Mountain is a year-round destination.
In the early 1950s, a popular place to be was Gray’s Coffee Shop owned by Helen and Marty Gray. The counter was on the west side of the establishment, while a variety store occupied the east side. In 1968, Marty sold Gray’s to Sophie Wilson, his longtime employee. After Gray’s Coffee Shop closed, the Golden Flame restaurant opened and operated until about 1979, when plans for the new building to house Canada Trust was constructed. Park Lunch was owned by Earl Armstrong and his wife, Lillian. Park Lunch was known for its mouth-watering penny candy.
