Lindsay is in Ontario about 3 hrs south of North Bay. Very close to Peterbourgh.
Lindsay is mostly a farming area. In Ontario the trappers are set up in councils about the same as your locals are set-up, at one time we had about 100 councils up and running but nowadays I would guess about 60 active councils.
This is a yearly event with a pile of contest going on from best handled furs to snowshoe races to trap setting contest.

Mr Gibb I didn't know you were a member, I met you a few years ago with a mr Alkerton, I did some volunteer work with him.

For everyone here in Alberta, I went to college in Lindsay, one of the last schools left that offers a trapping course.

I've been to the events there as well as North Bay, and its great to see the participation thats involved

Great job Jim,

Give that Alkerton a hard time when you see him for me would ya he'll know who your talking about just say the mountee in Alberta!!!

Some of this years class from SSF were at the event, and I speak with Darcy just about every other day and I will let him know. He supplies most of the critters to skin for that course at the college.
The fellow sitting down in the last picture is one of the Tamlin boys.

Default Darcy

Darcy is the only man I know that can JIG for beavers!!!!!! I don't mean thatin a bad way, he is an amazing guy and trapper.

The year I volunteered with him, was I believe the year he was out with you testing the belisle footsnare with wolves on your trap line

Just another shout out to an amazing trapper and guy is that teacher at SSF.
Preslie is another great guy. you know all the years at SSFC I tried to get him I could never get him, he is one of the quickest witted fellas i've ever met.

The only thing our class got him on was when he was nailing some beavers.....he'll tell you the rest.
If your talking with him too give him a hard time for me
