The fish hatchery is back up and running in Downtown Magnetawan. The first netting of the pickerel (walleye) took place on Saturday morning and Cody (the wonder dog) and I decided to check it out. Attached are some pictures - they net the fish, keep out the females, extract the eggs to put in the hatchery and then release the females. Very interesting process. ...

The Cottage Life Show was a success, by all accounts. I had the pleasure of speaking to a lot of people about the Almaguin Highlands area - a lot of people who already own property in the area and some that are looking to purchase property in the area. Looking forward to my time at the show next March!

It's official - I have taken out my first Billboard! Located on Hwy. 124 heading West from Sundridge half way up Clover Hill. When I first started out in my new career, it never occurred to me that I would undertake such a large advertisement. However, I have learned that this entire business is based on self-promotion and so here it is...the very first one! ...
