M argaret and Kelvin Young began attending Erindale Bible Chapel when they moved to Mississauga in 1976 with their two younger children, Barbara Jane and Bruce. Maureen, a student at McGill University, remained behind in Montreal. Making their home here for more than four decades changed the formerly nomadic pattern of the family: prior to residing in Port Credit, they had lived in Edmonton, Alberta, Yorkshire in northern England, Mel-bourne, Australia, and Beaconsfield, Quebec. This was per-haps to be expected when Margaret, the young lady who started life in the small northern mining town of Cobalt, Ontario was swept off her feet and decided to marry the Young Australian metallurgical engineer who came to town, on the heels of a world-travelling adventure.
With a life-long passion for learning and sharing the Word of God, Margaret had also been a student and a teacher of Home Economics. These two aptitudes were blended to-gether over the course of her life to help define the person Margaret was. One of their priorities wherever Margaret and Kelvin lived was to find a church home where people would be introduced to Jesus Christ and trained to grow and develop as his disciples. The consummate hostess who loved to entertain, Margaret’s living room and (seasonally) her garden had always been open for prayer meetings, Bible studies and planning meetings, along with family celebra-tions of every kind. Over the decades, Margaret had been involved in the ministries of Daily Vacation Bible School, teaching Sunday School, Pioneer Clubs, AWANA, Just for Kids’ Club, Christian Women’s Club, Bible Study Fellow-ship, and of course, the EBC Young Married Couples’ Bible Study, which recently celebrated their forty-third annual New Year’s Eve party.
