Hometown Hero - Fred White
Ford Fairlane 1967

If you run into Fred White in the pharmacy, you would never guess that this local businessman has owned and raced limited production cars and has represented Canada at international trap shooting competitions.


Onoway and District Historical Guild is recognizing Fred’s accomplishments through the “Hometown Hero” exhibit currently on display at Onoway Museum.

"Hometown Heroes" - This highlight display zeroes in on a local resident who has made a very distinct contribution to the community.
