-====== Bryniau Tywynnog ======
-The Canton of Bryniau Tywynnog (pronounced BRIN'-ee-aw Te-WIN'-og) is one of the two Cantons located in the Barony of [[Branches:Ramshaven]]. Encompassing the mundane lands of the Tri-City Region of Waterloo (Kitchener-Waterloo and Cambridge), Bryniau Tywynnog was founded in A.S. 25, making it older than the Barony it currently resides in.
-===== Origin of the Name =====
-The name Bryniau Tywynnog is Welsh for "Sandy Hills". The original settlement which eventually became Kitchener was founded in 1807, at the farm of Joseph Schneider, a Mennonite settler. The town was originally called Ben Eby's, after Bishop Benjamin Eby, another early settler. Later the town's name was changed to Ebytown, and finally, to "Sandhills". Sandhills was renamed to Berlin in 1835, after a wave of German immigrants moved to the area, and largely displaced the original Mennonite settlers from the town proper. Due to the poor images associated with Berlin in the War, Berlin was renamed to Kitchener (in honour of Lord Kitchener, the British Field Marshal) in 1916.
-===== History =====
-The SCA has been around in Kitchener-Waterloo consistently for almost 23 years, and off and on several years previously.
-Canton members have been active during that time within the community in a number of ways, including "have done a phenomenal amount with various schools in the Region, doing demos for public schools where the medieval unit is taught." The Canton has also frequently participated in the City of Waterloo/University of Waterloo Canada Day festivities, as well as having done a medieval faire on the Island in Victoria Park. Bryniau Tywynnog members have been involved several times with Kitchener's Artsfest.
