I have travelled across Canada from Newfoundland to Saskatchewan, but I'm originally from a small town in Ontario. I have come to Muskoka for its rich heritage and interesting people. You can always reach me via my e-mail or through my Twitter account. Don't forget to get up-to-date information on Twitter as well through Moose 99.5.
