Maxime Coriveau is a cook and has worked in the culinary world since 2004. She acquired her

Diploma for Culinary Arts at Canadore College. When she isn’t working the line at Farina Ristorante

she spends time with her family, and desperately tries not to become a hoarder of cook books.

At a young age she enjoyed spending time with her grandfather at his cottage collecting unprocessed

maple syrup. Waiting for the end product was almost painful for her because she knew it was well worth

the wait. Her mother would then deep fry some dough and smother them in maple syrup. It’s to this day

one of her fondest memories.

Details on other participants coming soon.

NEW this year - First LEGO League is a global challenge that helps kids learn to think like scientists and engineers.  During the INTO ORBIT season this year, more than 20 local teams of kids in grades 4-8 built, tested and programmed autonomous robots using LEGO "MINDSTORMS" technology and used their bots to solve a set of missions in the Robot Game.  Jon The 3Bs, Icebound Hounds, Brain Freeze and Mini RefrigeRAIDERS as they explain robot programming and design, share information about competing in FIRST Lego League, and offer live demonstrations throughout the day of their robots completing missons on the challenge board.  FLL offers kids tons of fun while they learn to apply science, technology, engineering, and math concepts (STEM), plus imagination, to solve problems.

	Fur Harvesters Auction Inc. (FHA) located in North Bay, Ontario is known in the fur industry as "the source of the finest in wild fur".  Over 11,000 trappers from across Canada and the United States ship their harvest to FHA.  As well, FHA handles the majority of the Ranch Fox that is produced in North Amercia and also markets a small, but exceptional collection of Ranch Mink. Once the fur is collected across North America, it is sent for grading at our 55,000 sq.ft. warehouse in North Bay or to our grading facility in Cambridge, Wisconsin.  Once the fur is graded into the different qualities, the lots are sold by auction.  FHA has 2 to 3 auctions per year, with one being held in Helsinki, Finland, where we partner with Saga  Furs. FHA was very proud and humbled when the governments of the North West Territories and Nunavut selected the Fur Harvesters Auction to exclusively market their trapper's fur.  The NWT fur is sold under "The Genuine Mackenzie Valley Furs" banner. FHA owns the largest trap supply company in to the public high quality footwear by brands Lacrosse, Muck and Nokien and we offer a vast selection of fur hats and mitts that are made in Canada from top quality pelts.  Our complete catalogue of outdoor equipment can be viewed online at www.furharvesters.com.
	"Brothers of the Harvest" - our logo and its' meaning... Each face represents the traditional image of the Native and Non-native Fur Harvester.  The Beaver is the hardest and most persistent worker in the world.  The Beaver has also been traditionally the backbone of the fur industry.  The Maple Leaf reflects the Canadian heritage of this industry. The 2 circles that surround the inner images represent the Creator - he is within you and around you.  They are also connected by small lines that represent our own connection with the Creator. The 2 circles with the connecting lines also represents a skin that is stretched out, an image well known in the fur industry.
