On Saturday, a few couples from Waltham and their families leisurely drifted down the Back River on their tubes. It was a . . .

perfect day to enjoy this activity. Fort William is another beautiful spot, where people are boating. They have built a huge dock to safely accommodate boaters. It seems that the amount of campers and boaters has increased this summer due to COVID-19. It is a safe way to participate in summer outdoor activities and we are enjoying beautiful summer weather.

Our heartfelt sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with the Lynch and Beauchamp families in the recent passing of Margaret. She was the beloved wife of the late Jacques Beauchamp. The Beauchamp’s lived in Ottawa, but had a cottage on L’Isle-Aux-Allumettes.
