I am researching for an article about the Linkanoe, which was built at Gananoque, ON, in 1945-47. Ed Link was the inventor of the first airplane flight trainer, and those trainers sold to Commonwealth nations during WW2 were built in Gananoque. At the wars end there was no longer a demand for flight trainers, so the factory at Gananoque was kept going by building several different models of canoes and boats. Ed Link was a pilot, owned an amphibious plane - a Grumman Widgeon and leased some land in Quebec for a 'wilderness retreat'. Thru my research I know he had a cabin at a place named Crooked Lake, Quebec, and I would like to find out where this is. I've searched on Canadian Place Names both in English and French, and have come up with nothing, though I would have guessed there are dozens of lakes in Canada named Crooked. To kind of limit things to an area, my guess would be that he would have taken off from Gananoque and headed north, NW/NE for an hour or so to get to his cabin. Has anyone been to a Crooked Lake, PQ, in this region? And if anyone has knowledge concerning the Linkanoe or other boats built in Gananoque 1945-7, I'm interested. Thanks for the help. Tom McCloud

Roni Furst has made a formal agreement with the MNR to publish those brochures that most of us remember from the good old days.
They will appear in book format (rather than as is). This is a cost-recovery-only enterprise on her part, started 4 years ago. Perhaps you saw the copies that she placed at the book table at WCS 2010. The two volumes total about 4 inches thick.
At the moment, she is working only on brochures for Ontario north of the Mattawa-French. If you have old brochures that you would like to lend to her (yes, she will return them), please email her at stfursto@aol.com . Again, she is working on northern Ontario at the moment so please ask before sending her brochures for the Mattawa, the French and the south.
You can make a real contribution to paddling in Ontario by sifting through those files and telling her what you have available, hey, maybe even please your partner.

ou are all invited to view the Photo Album from the WCA August 2008 Lower Madawaska River trip. Link to Lower Madawaska Photos.
It seems to be really winter now, and I got my paddle out of the water just before it finally froze. Here is a website that should provide some relief until the water turns liquid again! Good articles. http://www.paddling.net/sameboat/archives/
