Five generations of family came together to celebrate an important birthday last month.
The Kuzmick family emigrated to Canada in the 1930s, when Lillian Kuzmick and her parents immigrated from Ukraine.
Charlotte Jafvert nee Kuzmick (Lillian91裸聊视频檚 youngest of five children) said her mother was widowed in 1953. Kuzmick sold the farm and the family moved to a house on Foothill Road, where the children grew up on five acres.
