The first?[edit]

Not sure of the accuracy of this: "... in what was the first recorded heavier-than-air flight in Canada". I know the reference mentions this, but the claim can't be correct. Laurence Lesh of Montreal "flew" a towed glider in August 1907. Granted it was tethered, but the aircraft still flew with him onboard. See [1] and [2].-- BC _{talk to me} 01:17, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Possible copyright violation?[edit]

The following passage according to the Wayback Machine, was published on baddeck.com as long ago as February 2001 and first appears verbatim in this article in February 2004.

About this time a far-seeing resident named Hezekiah Ingraham took steps to educate his family. He hired a teacher and set aside a room in his home where the children of the neighbourhood were introduced to the three 'R's'. Though himself a Protestant, he made no religious distinction. This is surprising because at that time religious intolerance and bigotry was the rule, but more than a few Catholic children were among those receiving instruction. Soon the small room could no longer contain the numbers and so the first school in Victoria County was built.
