Lake Effect has been following us from Muskoka (rememberSnowmageddon?) to Perth.

Lanark Country has an interesting past. Fences that cannot be sunk in limestone bedrock. Interestinggeology and history, with officers granted 600 acres of land.

The big amalgamization in the 'Common Sense Revoloution' (1995 - 2003) shocked many of us across the province.

It had made a number of regions far too large in m estimation.

Hi Jennifer,

From a health care perspective, I am curious if your LHIN encompasses your whole county or does it stretch over into others. Here in Toronto, we have 5 LHINs with substantially different focuses and budgets...not fair from a taxpayer's point of view...
