RMS Segwun by Andrew Hind,Maria Da Silva Pdf

One hundred and twenty-five years of steamboating in Muskoka come alive with the anniversary celebration of the RMS Segwun. The Royal Mail Ship Segwun is the oldest operating steamship in North America, a Muskoka icon, and one of Ontario’s best-known tourist attractions. Built as a paddlewheeler in 1887, the RMS Segwun saw her initial career suspended in the 1950s when the ship ceased operations. Fortunately, she began a new chapter in 1974 when she was lovingly restored and magnificent sightseeing cruises were offered. Those who board the vessel step back in time to a romantic era in cottage country’s history when steamboats were vital to settlement, tourism, and economic development. The history of this celebrated Canadian ship and her sister vessels that made up the Muskoka Navigation Company fleet is thoughtfully explored, as is the long and significant past of steamboating on the Muskoka lakes. Historical and contemporary photographs complement the story of this "Queen of Muskoka" in recognition of her 125th anniversary.

Muskoka A Novel by Adrian Tumber Pdf

Morecombe Research is a prestigious high-tech company. Kelly Schumacher, a successful business executive, was thrilled when she was selected by the famous Cyrus Morecombe to be his executive vice-president. Then, during her orientation, she realizes that Cyrus Morecombe does not exist! This shock is soon compounded by the insistence of a powerful business partner who demands to meet Cyrus personally. The once-confident Kelley Schumacher starts having nightmares and for the first time in her life this confident business woman does not know what to do. Then, quite unexpectedly, Kelly receives a call from a mysterious stranger who had anticipated she might be having a problem and offered to help her! After some very careful planning Charles Manning and Kelly Schumacher take the company's executive committee to a luxury resort on the Lake of Bays in the Muskoka Region of Ontario, Canada. Their special meeting was ostensibly to celebrate the company's thirtieth anniversary. Their intention was to solve Kelley's problem by having Charles impersonate Cyrus Morecombe, announce his retirement and promote Kelly to succeed him as the new company president. The ambitious plan, the twists and turns that occur in Muskoka, and an unexpected conclusion await the reader when Kelly and Charles relax several weeks later in Fiji, on the island of Yasawa, in the South Pacific. Bonus! The Appendices tell the stories of the people the Morecombe party meet at the Dorset Lodge and Conference Centre in Muskoka.

Nanaimo Girl by Prudence Emery Pdf

“Reading Nanaimo Girl is like enjoying a martini or three with Auntie Mame. The stories are colourful, global, boozy and just cheeky enough to make you envious — and at the same time a little concerned.” — Dana Gee, Vancouver Sun Born in Nanaimo, British Columbia in the 1930s, Prudence Emery was expected to do the right things, but shattered family expectations by going to art school in London, England, where studies sometimes took a back seat to partying. And then she found herself in the world of celebrities. From Expo 67 in Montreal to the press office at London's Savoy Hotel, Prudence met the likes of Twiggy, Noël Coward, Louis Armstrong, Petula Clark, Liza Minelli, and Edward Albee. She escorted David Frost to an interview with Sheikh Mujibar Rahman and arranged for Pierre Trudeau to attend a party where he met Barbra Streisand for the first time. It was a world so rich with stories that the Canadian Press wrote, "If ever a job was tailor-made for a book of memoirs, Prudence Emery has it." But it was just the beginning. A new career as a film publicist spanned decades and introduced her to some of Hollywood's biggest names, from Sophia Loren to Jennifer Lopez, from Peter O'Toole to Matt Damon. She worked with Nicolas Cage when he was a nervous teenager and later when he was an outgoing superstar. And she was a frequent colleague of famed director David Cronenberg. Nanaimo Girl is the story of a life well lived and an encouragement to all, young and old, to get out, defy expectations, and have a rip-roaring good time.
