My Lineage

My Grandfather, Gordon Stewart Gooderham first came to Lake Temagami in 1901 from Port Credit/Oakville where he owned a large farm ( the site of the present St.  Lawrence Cement CO). He Traveled extensively in the area with his professor from U. of T.,  A.L.Cochrane. In 1926 he established Camp Chimo, a fishing camp at the mouth of the South Arm of Lake Temagami. My parents helped with the camp and later ran it on their own. With  my 4 younger sisters,  Patrica, Susan, Jane, Mary and myself we eventually all helped run the camp until it was sold in the 1970's. I have been coming to Lake Temagami all my life and  moved here  permanently in 1975 making it my home. In 1978 I met my present wife and 3 years later we were married, I have 2 children, Krista 20 and Nicholas 16. We presently live and work in Temagami. Since 1976 I have been in construction and for 23 years I have run my own business.
