The town Blind River where Stewart Burton McLennan was born.


So perhaps you are asking where was Stewart Burton McLennan born?, well it turns out Stewart Burton McLennan was born in Blind River a small town north of Lake Superior. "Blind River" you say, are all the people there blind? Well no, it was a long time ago when fur traders would travel by canoe, that they noticed the mouth of the river was hidden, so the entrance to the river was called Blind River.

This is like most small towns in northern Ontario, everyone considers their town special. Blind River is bordered on the North Western side by an Indian reservation. The Mississagi River Indian Reserve.

Highway 17 runs right through town, and within the town of Blind River the highway is called Causley St.
Ok, so Stewart Burton McLennan was born in Blind River, but was he really blind?
Well fortunately for Stewart he was not born blind, and in fact he quickly learned how to swim rivers and lakes.
However juicy details like that have to remain a mystery, so Stewart's birth parents will have some news from him if they are curious.
This is probably the hospital St. Josheph's General Hospital where Stewart Burton McLennan was born, for him, where it all began.........
