Read excerpt
Published 5:45 am Wednesday, September 9, 2026 The government wharf area at the foot of Maple Avenue has featured prominently in our history since Walter Colquhoun Grant arrived to join the First Nations in 1849.

Marta Aker came with her husband Greg for a 47-year-long-awaited visit with relatives and to resume their ties to the beautiful farmsite where their grandfather Herbert Anderson had grown up.
