  • Simon Gibbons
    Simon Gibbons Simon Gibbons was the first Inuit priest in the Church of England. He was born on June 21, 1851 in Forteau, Labrador – about 13 km north east of the Quebec border. His mother died in childbirth. At five years old Simon was sent by the Anglican Missionary in Forteau to the Church of England Widows and Orphans Asylum (CEWOA) in St. John’s, Newfoundland. While there, he showed “intellect of no ordinary degree” and was placed in the Church of England Academy when he was nine. Two years later, Sophia Mountain, the Lady Superintendent of the orphanage (CEWOA) took Simon under her care. Then, when Simon was 15, she married Edward Field, the Bishop of Newfoundland in 1867. So, in just a few years, Simon went from being an orphan to the Bishop’s Court. Following his graduation from the Academy, Simon began to prepare to take an active part in the ministry of the Church. He became part of a group who trained and worked as Lay Readers, Teachers, and Catechists in Newfoundland’s outports. On one occasion during this time, he was leading a Sunday morning Service in the large kitchen of a fisherman’s house. It was packed with people, and Simon was standing in the place of honour by the roaring stove. Just as he began the sermon, the lady of the house stood up in her place, by the door, waving her raised hand. “Hold a minute, Parson!” she cried. Simon stopped. The lady continued, “Sal, the puddin’!” Sal, seated on the other side of the stove, arose, took from the dresser the Sunday dumpling in its cloth and popped it into the pot boiling on the stove.

  • Fundy Routes
    Fundy Region MAP ....................................................................................................Truro 1. La Plan che Rive r 2. Stew iack e Rive r 3. Rive r Heb 7 Route: No. 1 La Planche River Type: River Rating: easy Length: 30 kilometers round trip (18.5 miles) 2 days Portages: None Main bodies of water: La Planche River, Long Lake and Round Lake. Start: on the north side of the town of Amherst. Intermediate access: None Finish: Return by same route. This trip takes you up through a portion of the Tantramar Marshes. There is no white water and the current is not strong. There are no land marks that will be of any help and a number of side streams and ditches will make some navigational experience useful. The lower end of the river is tidal and the start should be made at high tide. The water levels are good except in extremely dry periods. On the north side of Long Lake you will pass the old abandoned ship railway that was built in the 1800’s to transport ships overland to the Northumberland Strait. The history of this can be found at Fort Beausejour on route 2 near Amherst. Fishing is good in certain areas and duck and muskrats are plentiful. There are not many good areas to camp along the river; but there are some good sites along the northeast shore of Long Lake. Detailed information: National Topographic Series Map No. 21H / 16E 8 Route: No. 2 Stewiacke River Type: River Rating: Moderate Length: 46 kilometers (28.7 miles) 2 days Portages: None Main bodies of water: Stewiacke River Start: Upper Stewiacke Intermediate access: at five locations.
