The new trees that were planted around Gloucester City recently were a waste of money.

Who is going to pay when the trees break up the side walks and sewer pipes? Will the City pay for the repair, or will the people have to pay for it?

The City could have put a lot more effort into getting a Senior Center for Gloucester City, Brooklawn and Westville, all joined together like a family.

This would be great for everyone. Why can’t we do this?

The big fort down at Proprietor’s Park would be a good place to put a senior center.

The scene just described is actually at Fairmont-Kenauk, a 65,000-acre estate in Quebec’s Laurentian Mountains. This huge tract of forest land is a challenge and a special treat for anyone who likes to hunt the big woods in traditional ways. Adding to the appeal is the fact that you have exclusive use of thousands of acres for you and your group and the opportunity to shoot some truly big deer. Fairmont-Kenauk is not your typical hunting lodge or destination. It is a large former private estate that was established in the 19th century to protect fish and wildlife habitats.
