The Legend of the Wolf of Lafontaine
The people of Lafontaine hold on to a legend - that of a lone wolf which for years, terrorized them and their livestock.
Lurking through the darkness of separation between old Lafontaine’s cultures - French settlers, English Loyalists, Voyageurs, and Aboriginal Peoples - the beast was free to exploit their isolation.
Bonding together as one community, they banished the wolf to never return.
To this day, the wolf symbolizes the common respect and connection between the cultures of Lafontaine, a place which remains one of the last Francophone communities in Ontario.
We like to think the Wolf of Lafontaine incited solidarity; a cause for celebration and popping of corks that spirited great friendships - they were united by bubbles.
