                     What began as an expected short term commitment grew to five years of being in the middle of issues challenging the protection and promotion of La Vase Portages. 
                     From all of the past and present members of the Friends of La Vase Portages and indeed the community of North Bay, thank you Fred for all of your hard work and leadership as Chair.
