January 14, 1911 - The Kelly Block / Kilgour Block, also, at 181 Bannatyne Avenue, between Main and Rorie Streets, burned. Temperatures in the -40s hampered firefighters and the building was completely gutted. Built in 1904 for Thomas Kelly and Joseph Maw, it was renovated back to health later that year and is now called the Kilgour Block. Today it is the Lofts on Bannatyne condos.
January 14, 1976 - The T. Eaton Company announced that the iconic Eaton’s catalogue will be discontinued. The first edition was printed in 1884, the final one in 1976.
January 14, 1981 – The first patient was admitted to the Seven Oaks General Hospital. First proposed in 1969, the plan got bogged down in a debate over whether it should be a hospital or a health clinic. Construction finally began on the $32 million, 336 bed facility in 1977 and it was officially opened in September 1980. A series of delays with equipment installation pushed back the admission of the first patients.
