The 3rd Annual Dewar Sugar Shack Syrup Auction was another success with the winning bid for the first litre of maple syrup that they produced this year being donated to the Northern Cancer Foundation. The winning bid was for a whopping $850 and was by Myles MacLeod of Sudbury. Numerous other people thought it such a great idea that they also gave donations. So the real winner in this annual event is the cancer foundation. What a fantastic gesture by the Dewar family.
