My important family history: In the winter of 1927-28, Mr. Jules Ferland (my wife's Grandfather) walked approximately 28 km in snow-shoes (from Clarke City to Sept-Iles), just to go on a date with his then sweet-heart and then soon-to-be wife. It is because of my wife's grandparents beautiful history that I decided to start this web-site.
