On the weekend of August 24-25, 2002 I had the pleasure of travelling through the lands my ancestors left a hundred years ago. There were 6 of us in the mini van, on our way to pick up one more. We were entering the area where my Mother spent time as a girl, but was alien to me. This is 3500 Km's from where we grew up in Northern Saskatchewan. As we drove to the north of Montreal, we were talking, exploring our past, of how this was but one stop in our family's continual colonization of these lands we now call Canada. The focus of this weekend however was the lands that my grand father and grand mother came from. First stop however was to pick up our cousin Martin, that we see on the right! |
