PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE — After 45 years of navigating the rugged terrain of the Canadian North and tracking wildlife across the Arctic, Murray Gillespie has a few stories to tell. “I started writing stories basically for our family to have in the future,” Gillespie said. He has been hand-delivering copies across Manitoba and shipping orders as far as Saskatoon and Churchill. “The interest has been very strong and the comments very positive.”Copies of the book are currently available through the Manitoba Métis Federation (MMF) Marketplace or by contacting Gillespie directly. Gillespie will also be at the Portage la Prairie Regional Library on Saturday for a book signing.
