S02E18: THE MUSKOKA MURDERS
The Muskoka region of Ontario is usually a beautiful summer destination for cottage owners in Canada, but this week we tell you the story of its dark underside: a side of the community that centers around one family whom many suspect to be responsible for a string of murders from the 1990's.
After 77-year-old Joan Lawrence went missing in the fall of 1998, the Laan family was at the center of rumors and speculation about what could have happened to her. The police investigation that follows unveils what was going on behind closed doors of the Laan family's business dealings- specifically those related to a series of retirement homes they owned in the Muskoka region. In this story, the alleged mistreatment of the residents and their missing pension checks are only the beginning. Could the Laan family also be responsible for this series of suspected murders? Or is there another explanation about what really happened to the seniors?

What’s Shaping Our World? Leadership in Youth Development with Chris Tompkins
Chris Tompkins, COO at Muskoka Woods, has been working as a youth development professional for over two decades, and in that time he’s sought to help young people develop their full leadership potential.
Leadership should be taught young, he says, and as adults, our job is to be conscious of what is shaping their world. Chris is launching a podcast in that exact theme: Shaping Our World can be found on your favourite podcast platform (including the one you're using to listen to this episode).
Episode 5: Critters and Camp
Ms. Lilly launches yet another defense of one of her favorite critters, which gets Lawrence thinking about all the wild critters people get to experience when visiting the CNIB Lake Joseph Centre located in the heart of Ontario’s famous Muskoka region. To find out what Lake Joe got up to in 2020 Lawrence speaks with the Centre’s General Manager Eugene Chong to get caught up on what’s new, what’s still popular after 60 years of operation, and what’s in the works. Of course, what would a multi-million-dollar outdoor adventure facility for people with low or no vision and the deaf-blind be without a hole bunch of cool low and high tech access solutions to make it all possible.

Season's End
As shorter days give way to longer nights, the summer cottaging season draws to an end. This episode we’ll take a look back at summer 2017 and a look ahead to the fall and winter seasons. We’ll also talk about winding things down – putting stuff away, turning stuff off and all the other rituals associated with the end of the season. Friend of the podcast Ron Tite returns to share his thoughts on the season and his plans to celebrate his first Thanksgiving at the cottage.
Girls' Weekend vs. Guys' Weekend
Get a group of girls and guys together and for sure each of them will claim the title as to who has the best time on a getaway weekend. Manis, pedis and sangria or Seadoos, fireworks and a case of Amsterdam Pale Rider - what sounds like more fun? Join us this week and hear MEL interview the guys and Chris interview the ladies. This much we know. A girls weekend almost always involves some kind of avocado dip while a guys weekend almost always involves some sort of project!
Get Outside
On shore or on the water, there's lots of fun to be had outdoors. Do you feel like taking the paddle boat or the canoe out for a whirl? Maybe you're a little more adventurous and you want to head out and explore on foot or on the ATV! Ornithologist and outdoor expert Mark Peck will help us figure it all out along with Lake of Bays ATV Club member and Baysville County Store owner Bill Bryer.
Words and Music
Everybody has one...a favourite summer song and a book they want to read. This week we're talking music and books - two incredibly important elements for great cottaging. Vital in fact. Whether you're enjoying some uninterrupted solitude in the hammock or putting in a few hours sunbathing on the dock, you're gonna need a good book and some great tunes. Sharing their thoughts with us on this cottage critical topic are award winning author Terry Fallis and boom 97.3 radio host Jeff Spindel.
Rainy Day Memories
The heavens open and the debate begins. It's a rainy day. Do you reach for Monopoly, Scrabble or Canada's own Trivial Pursuit? Maybe cards are your thing. Do you deal a hand of poker? Or is your style more Euchre or Cribbage? When you get bored of all that, there's always that box of VHS movies. And let's be clear, The Great Outdoors may just be the best cottage movie of all time. Yes or no? Author, keynote speaker and ad agency owner Ron Tite joins us to help settle the debates!
Dockside
Hmmmm....let me see. Will that be a glass of wine or a local craft beer? Entertaining outdoors is one of the great pleasures at the cottage. But what to serve? You don't want to be running in and out of the cottage all afternoon. Hear some great tips from our grill master Andy Elder, cottager and sommelier Meghan Sherwin and Heather Mundle from Amsterdam Brewery who shares beer pairing tips and more!
It's Always Something
We are a country blessed with tremendous natural resources and lots and lots of fresh water. With thousands of lakes in Ontario alone, it's easy to see how a rainy spring could cause some issues! This week we hear from cottage friends Jeff Wood and Aaron Finlayson about some of those times when things went wrong. From missing docks to power outages, we've got stories!
Hit The Road Jack
How far is far? Did you know there's a movement afoot. A zeitgeist to escape larger urban centres has taken hold. This week we talk to Christine Sharp about the recreational property market across the country. Where are people buying? How far are they travelling to escape the city? Off grid but online - can it be done? We also chat with Brian Varner who practically crosses the country to escape the city and get to his cottage!
Just Visiting
Forget the buying vs. renting debate! Have you heard about cottage hopping? It's a thing. Joining us around Andy's grill this week are Michelle Catchpole, guest and cottage hopper extraordinaire and Jeff Wood, one time cottage owner, now full time cottage guest. We'll talk about what makes a great guest and what makes a great gift for your host or hostess. Here's a hint...Jeff created the Kawarthas Northumberland Butter Tart Tour. 50 stops. He's tried them all.
Gary McMullen of Muskoka Brewery
In this episode we have a fireside chat with Gary McMullen, Founder of Muskoka Brewery. Gary discusses the origins of the Muskoka Brewery, some of their early beer adventures, the importance of their branding and some of their latest beer releases.
