Two Burns Lake women who work at the Lakes District campus of the College of New Caledonia (CNC) have been using their writing skills to keep memories alive and educate people.

Lynn Synotte, responsible for marketing, recruitment and program linkages at CNC, will have a short story called ‘Memories of Apps’ Mill’ published in a book that will be launched on June 22, 2017 in Ontario.

“The story is about my memories growing up on a property known as “Apps’ Mill,” located in Brant County in southern Ontario,” explained Synotte.

Her piece was one of 16 short stories chosen to be included in the book called ‘Place settings: a County of Brant public library anthology,’ out of 50 submissions.

“My mother passed away recently and the piece was very nostalgic for me,” said Synotte. “I have lived in B.C. longer than I lived in Ontario, but when I go back to visit family we have always visited the mill, walked the trails and checked out our old haunts.”
