Arden Blackburn’s Mail Route: The Early Days at Christie Lake

Theirs was a bond born in nature. United by water, the early inhabitants on the north shore of Christie Lake were drawn into a community that came to transcend politics, religion and sometimes even family. Arden Blackburn’s Mail Route: The Early Days at Christie Lake follows Arden as he uses his mail route to weave a thread through the lake's unlikely mix of permanent residents and summer vacationers. Located 15 kilometres southwest of Perth, ON, Christie Lake is the third largest lake in what is known as the Tay Watershed.
