Life around the Rideau lakes – a discussion of the Rideau Lakes area covering First Nations, European settlement, agriculture, architecture, religion, medicine – daily life in the first half of the 19th century!

Sue is a board member and past chair of the Chaffey’s Lock and Area Heritage Society, and a former Parks Canada historical interpreter. After teaching for a number of years, Sue retired in 2016 as CEO of the Rideau Lakes Public Library system. She is also an avid Facebook poster and genealogist!
