John McCrae House

Henri took part in the first GHG field trip to John McCrae House. They watched a slide show about what life was like in the days when John McCrae grew up in the house and then went outside to play games and crafts from 1880's such as croquet, ring toss, bean bag toss, hoop & stick, and Henri's favourite; walking on stilts. After the event, Henri decided he wanted to build his own stilts so we gathered the supplies and started on the project. Henri now has two pairs of stilts and with a bit of practice he is able to walk 5-6 steps before he has to stop.
