Alfred

S1 E8
·
2003

Alfred is a small village in Eastern Ontario well known for its reform school, which has become the only agricultural college of its kind in the country, and also for its vast 9,000-acre peat bog teeming with ecological treasures. It’s no wonder that Jean Poirier, the former local “Green” MP, calls it “Our Galapagos of the North.” Alfred: a beautiful story of friendship.
