Official synopsis Publisher
When you take the Howland Ridge Road northeast out of Millville, New Brunswick and come to the place where the snowplough turns around, a narrow track plunges on into the deep woods of the Keswick River watershed. Howland Ridge commands a grand view of sparkling lakes, small rivers, forested valleys, and low mountains.
This is the setting for Chris in Canada. This is where Noel Polchis,
an Indigenous hunter, introduces Chris, newly arrived from England, to a way of life on the land beyond the farm. Chris has come with his family to settle on the last farm on Howland Ridge Road, but it is the attraction of adventures with Noel in the great woods of central
New Brunswick that catches his imagination.
