This week, Kate talks about how far away Haliburton's early fur industry attracted interest from as far as away as New York State. Not bad for a small rural County without great access at the time. Plus, Paul talks about George Orton who was Canada's first Olympic gold medalist. It all happened at the 1900 Paris Olympics - but he wasn't officially recognized as Canadian until over 70 years later. On top of his many accomplishments, he did it all with a disability that he didn't let hold him back.
