The Cannington & Area Historical Society is a not-for-profit organization.
We operate strictly with the efforts of our dedicated volunteers.

We have just begun to catalogue our records and artifacts so the
resource list below is not complete.
Our Online Public Access Catalogue, funded by the
Ontario Trillium Foundation, will officially open on
Saturday September 27th, 2025

We will respond to your research requests however, please
understand that our resources may not support your inquiry.
