Chris Newell is a long-time resident of Milton Ontario, having moved into a house at 551 Woodward Avenue on May 25th, 1972, not quite a year after his family emigrated to Canada.

For the time that they lived in Canada, the Newell family lived first in an apartment overlooking Varsity Stadium in Toronto, then in an apartment at Jarvis & Wellesley, and then a house in the wild North of Toronto, near Finch & Woodbine, at a time when the 404/DVP ended at Sheppard Avenue. Whilst living on Kingslake Road in Willowdale, Chris attended Georges Vanier Secondary School on Don Mills Road, an experience that does not fill him with fond memories.

Whilst living on Woodward Avenue in Milton, Chris was a student at Milton District High School, and has fond memories of his time there, especially in the auto-shop class. The memories are centered around the group of friends that became inseparable for their entire time at MDHS: Derek Tielesman, Tony Tielesman, Sandy Snow, Brian Farrel, and Pete Rota. Over a very short period of time, Chris Newell was quickly absorbed into the Tielesman family, spending most of his non-school, non-working time at their house behind the Colour Your World store they owned at the corner of Main & Court Street's. He has fond memories of many evenings spent helping Bill & Rita out in the store, cutting carpet, mixing paint, and generally hanging out.
