Show Your Byron Pride! For many years, Byronites have shown their pride! From tshirts to pins to banners, the Byron spirit has always been alive. Wearing apparel or displaying a flag with “Byron” on it isn’t just about fashion—it’s a way of celebrating our close-knit, vibrant and welcoming community that we’re lucky to be part of. Whether you’ve lived here your whole life or just recently joined the neighbourhood, showing your Byron pride brings us all a little closer together. So go ahead—rep Byron loud and proud! You can purchase local Byron clothing and mugs from N6K Apparel, a company that Grant Thomas started to support this community. Visit www.n6kapparel.com
In 1960, when London was wooing Byron to agree to the annexation process, Byron was promised a high school and hockey arena. Many Byron parents went to bat. Soon after annexation in 1961, a high school was built in Oakridge and soon after that, a hockey arena was built in Oakridge, thus causing the rivalry between Byron and Oakridge, especially when the teams faced each other on the field or ice. This rivalry lasted for decades (and still does for some..) Merle Randolph Tingley (1921-2017) was better known as “Ting,” and was, for over forty years, the much-loved London Free Press political cartoonist.
