BUXTON'S NEXT

Established in 2003 and originally recognized as the "North Buxton Youth Committee", the group began with a $500 donation from Bonnie and Mike Robbins. Proceeds from that donation went to sponsor entertainment for the first ever "Party in the Park" during our annual Homecoming Celebration. In 2011, the group officially changed its name to Buxton's Next Generation (BNG) and a Board of Directors was established... settlement was founded in 1849 by an abolitionist and former slave owner, Rev William King. Buxton became Canada's most successful planned settlement for both fugitive slaves and free blacks. The community continues to exist today,
