Seagram Stables

Seagram Stables was a Canadian Thoroughbred horse racing operation founded in 1888 by the wealthy distiller, Joseph E. Seagram. Located in Seagram's hometown of Waterloo, Ontario, the stables and large training facilities were built along Lincoln Road. Joseph E. Seagram established his breeding operation's bloodlines by importing mares in foal from English sires. Between 1891 and 1898 his stables won eight consecutive Queen's Plates, Canada's most prestigious horse racing event. In total, during his lifetime Joseph Seagram won the race fifteen times and horses from his stables won every major race in Canada as well as races in the United States. As part of a program honoring important horse racing tracks and racing stables, the Pennsylvania Railroad named its baggage car #5860 the "Seagram Stable". Following the death of Joseph E. Seagram in 1919, his sons took over the operation and would win the Plate four more times before dismantling their racing stables in 1933. Edward F. Seagram arranged to buy out brothers Norman and Thomas and he would go on to win the family's twentieth Plate in 1935 with the filly, Sally Fuller. Edward F. Seagrams son, J. E. Frowde Seagram, would continue the family tradition and manage a successful racing operation. Of such prominence, the black and gold colours of the Seagram Stables were adopted by the City of Waterloo. Eventually, the stables were torn down and the property was sold for real estate development.

Elizabeth Ziegler Public School
Elizabeth Ziegler Public School

Elizabeth Ziegler Public School is an elementary school located in Waterloo, Ontario, at 90 Moore Avenue South, roughly one kilometre east of Waterloo's city centre. As of 2009, the school serves junior kindergarten through grade 6. Its principal is currently Ms. Susan Marchiori, and it has a vice principal, Ms. MacNeill. The school also currently hosts one mixed grade 5&6 enrichment class for gifted students. In 2005 the school was ranked 971st out of 2,850 elementary schools in Ontario by the Fraser Institute, based on the results of grade 3 and 6 students on province-wide standardized tests. The school was named after local teacher Elizabeth Ziegler, who had taught in Waterloo for 55 years. The original building was designed by Frank W. Warren of Hamilton and construction overseen by Alex Schnarr of Waterloo. It was officially opened on September 2, 1931 by George Henry, then the Premier of Ontario. At the time, it was Waterloo's third public elementary school. The first principal was C. J. MacGregor. Between 1940 and 1950 the school also housed some grade 9 classes because of overcrowding at Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate and Vocational School. On December 16, 1985, the school building was designated by the City of Waterloo as a heritage landmark under the provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act. The building was built in Gothic Revival style and cost $121,999 to build, a significant expenditure during the Great Depression. The building was three stories tall and originally had 16 rooms, including double-sized rooms for household science, kindergarten, manual training, and assembly. Included in the design of the school was a nod to Waterloo's official flower, the gladiolus, which Warren had carved above the main entrance. Two extensions were later made, one in 1955 and another, consisting mainly of a gymnasium, in 1987. The school, which as of 2016 is the oldest school in Waterloo that is still operating, celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2006. Students celebrated on June 21, 2006 and an open house was held on October 14, 2006. Lennox Lewis, former heavyweight boxing champion, attended the school in the late 1970s.
