Dedicated to Cam Currie,
who died 14 March 1981, with only nine months to retirement

Campbell “Cam” Currie was a fur trader for the Hudson’s Bay Company at Big Beaverhouse Post in northwestern Ontario before he joined the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests – now the Ministry of Natural Resources – in the 1950s. Here Cam is shown seated, holding the mide pipe. Standing in the back to the right is Thomas Fidler, chief of the Sandy Lake band. On either side of Cam are the two councillors. This photo was taken by Ed Rogers inside the mide lodge at Sandy Lake, 15 July 1958.
