| Description |
Arva is located at the intersection of Provincial Highway 4 (Richmond Street) and Medway Road (7th Concession). The community is the home of Medway High School, Centennial Central Public Dual Track School, Tamarak tree farm, Weldon Park, the Arva Flour Mill and store, The MillHouse ( local, natural and organic foods), a consignment store, a furniture store, a chocolate shop, a tack shop, a post office, and two churches, as well as personalities such as the former mayor of the City of London, Ontario and former Member of Parliament for London North Centre Joe Fontana (Joe Fontana still resides in the Township of Middlesex Centre at Arva; as the City of London does not have a residency requirement currently in place for elected officials disallowing him to reside outside of the city limits while holding the mayoral office), as well as Ben Dreyer, a famous area horseback rider, hunter, tanner, and first nation's skinner. Arva is located on a pond (known as "the mill pond") on Medway Creek. There is also a forest known as the sanctuary (in St. John's Estates); the bush runs along the creek and goes down into a camp site that at one time was quite popular. A person living in Arva, and who has been for an extensive amount of time, is considered an Arvite. In the 19th century Arva was a critical rest stop on the Underground Railroad, and home to several homes constructed as part of the Railroad. On July 7, 2007, The White Stripes performed a free concert at the Arva Flour Mill as part of their Canadian tour. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middlesex_Centre#Arva en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_... |
