Fraser, a native of Pictou County, was inspired to write the story after a visit to the abandoned RCMP station on Devon Island in the Northwest Territories.

Hi Everyone! Are you ready to Ignite Your Inspiration! Today we are going to start to share some beautiful stories from inspiring people who define all things awesome on the North Shore. When we were planning our spring issue we reached out to a handful of people who always seem to be inspiring others and asked them what keeps them fired up, motivated and ready to take on the day even when times can get tough. Wow we had no idea where we would be today when we asked for a little window into their worlds of wonderful. I hope that you enjoy these stories as much as I have and that they ignite something positive in you! Always here for you Crystal
