Lang Bay reunion<br />
More than 200 Maitlands celebrate 100 years<br />
By Gillian Christjansen<br />
Ohundred years ago, the<br />
first members of the Maitland<br />
family arrived in Lang Bay.<br />
Last month, 204 members of<br />
the family came together to celebrate,<br />
reminisce and enjoy the<br />
beauty of Lang Bay.<br />
On August 3, families from as<br />
far away as New York came to<br />
spend that magical weekend at<br />
the bay, catching up with longlost<br />
cousins and friends.<br />
As the party got going on<br />
Saturday, people gravitated towards<br />
the memorabilia tent<br />
where each family had been given space to hang pictures of<br />
their family heritage at the bay. Much laughter and tears rang<br />
out from that tent all night long!<br />
The Lang Bay families had been asked to submit photos they<br />
wanted from their family heritage to a website where during the<br />
party, we watched an ongoing picture show of over 900 photos.<br />
For the first time in many years, the Lang Bay families gathered<br />
together for one very large group photo.<br />
Special t-shirts were designed for the event and after dinner,<br />
ALL IN: Here we are on the beach, all 204 of us!<br />
the Jim Baron band led us in singing<br />
‘Happy Birthday Lang Bay.’<br />
On Sunday, we held our annual<br />
regatta followed by a ‘sail past’ as<br />
FACE PAINTED: Always a<br />
fun activity.<br />
Peter Maitland, 88 (the oldest living member of the Maitland<br />
family) lowered the Canadian flag as vessels sailed, motored<br />
and paddled by.<br />
And of course, it wouldn’t be a Lang Bay regatta without a<br />
huge water fight after the race. This year we had 50 to 60 different<br />
vessels in the water crewed by people of all ages.<br />
