This was an- other defining moment. He applied to Canadian schools, but again, the medi- cal school programs were full to capac- ity. Poul settled on studying civil en- gineering at the University of Toronto in 1948, graduating in 1953. His long career saw him involved in major development projects in Scarborough and Pickering. The bulk of his work was with municipal governments and he still receives Christmas cards from former employees. Two years ago, Poul moved to a small cottage on his son Poul’s prop- erty on Scugog Island. “Time was getting on and I didn’t want to cook anymore,” he said, ex- plaining his decision to move into Port Perry Villa a year later. He enjoys din- ing there and at local restaurants. “I like Port Perry,” Poul enthused. “It’s a wonderful place with wonder- ful people.” Plus, he’s close to family and his name will live on. Poul’s grandson is Poul Henrik Poulsson the fifth. Over the years, Poul has partici- pated in various Remembrance Day services, parades and reunions. With a sense of pride, he has visited the war memorial honouring Norwegians at the Toronto Island airport and The Little Norway Memorial in Muskoka. He’s had many trips back to Norway, and relatives from his homeland have often visited him here. “But Canada is my home now,” Poul concluded.
