For 20 years Laurie volunteered countless hours in supporting husband Jim’s efforts to create an oasis of hospitality, rich in natural and cultural heritage for the enjoyment and enlightenment of many who were drawn to the Little Bonnechere River. Often working behind the scenes, Laurie was always there to plan events, host visitors, and prepare and serve meals. For over a decade, Laurie was a founding member and secretary of the FBP Board of Directors. Her generosity, and willingness to give of her time, energy and talents, and most of all her friendship is much appreciated.
