Episode 1: Life on Algonquin Park‘s Canoe Lake in the Pandemic Year 1918

For over 20 years I've been collecting stories, photographs, interviews, out of print books and researching various aspects of the human history of Algonquin Park in Ontario Canada. In other words, capturing voices from the past. In the fall of 2020, I launched my podcast 'Algonquin Defining Moments' to both complement my published books but also to continue my mission of sharing stories, recollections, traditions, landmarks and other fun Algonquin Park human heritage curiosities.   In this way that those who share my passion for everything Algonquin Park can listen to snippets of the park and  its people  while commuting, walking, cooking, working around the house or even just meditating on the back deck. Enjoy!  Gaye  Clemson
