Join us at the Waterdown Legion at 7pm on June 6th, 2025, (The anniversary of D-Day!) to celebrate the extraordinary career of Flamborough's favourite Czech!

EVERYONE is invited to attend - tickets are $20 pp. Proceeds will be forced on Rob to use on himself (travel, cottage work, paying off his beer tab). Pay via this GoFundMe (make sure to attach your name to your donation), or in cash at the door. If you can't make it, but want to make a donation (or if you want to add a little more to your ticket fee) this is the spot to do it!
That night there will also be copies of a new publication, "A History of Waterdown District High School: Non Sibi Sed Scholae," on sale, with all profits going to support Rob's great gift to Waterdown: The Waterdown Museum of Hope . At over 200 pages, this book is a look at our beloved school since its founding in 1857 (if you went to the school, you might be in it!).

Established in 1857, Waterdown's only high school is an institution that has sat at the very heart of the community for nearly 175 years. Begun as a summer research project in 2024, A History of Waterdown District High School: Non Sibi Sed Scholae is the result of countless hours of combing through archives, yearbooks, as well as boxes of artifacts discovered hidden away throughout the school. A labour of love, this book attempts to preserve the stories of an extraordinary place.
