The Gordon Gill Story — Lost Chapters — Pierre Simpson

Read Now
 
Every time I talk to Gordon, something new to me presents itself.

In A Métis Man's Dream, Gordon talks about his old claim staking partner, the incredibly strong Metis man, Pierre Simpson. It turns out that Pierre's son, Rocky, trained as a lawyer in the south, and returned to Hay River. He has been a lawyer, businessman and Member of the Territorial Assembly.  

It was Rocky who purchased the Northern Arc Shipbuilders shop and property from Gordon when Northern Crane Services moved south to Edmonton.

Rocky's son, RJ, also trained as a lawyer, was elected to the NWT Assembly and recently was selected as Premier of the NWT by the Legislature.

The north continues to evolve!
