My name is Jamie Evans. I’m living in Cambridge now but I'm originally from Omeme Ontario.
Pigeon River is my favourite body of water because that's where I was born and raised and that's what I lived on for the first 21 years of my life.
Why I loved that water so much was because it had so much wildlife associated with it, it had fishing and it had lots of waterfowl, beavers, muskrats, everything in it. I could see that every day. Now that I’m in the city I really miss it.
I did go back a couple of years ago but you can never go back and its never the same as I remember it. We used to go swimming there every day and it was the light of my life.
