On the Monck Road near Bancroft Ontario
Flying over a portion of the Monck Road (County Road 45, formerly Hwy 503), which runs through the Bancroft district and is one of the oldest provincial roads north of Toronto. It has a rich history. From Lake Couchiching Road it extends 150 kilometres east to Hastings Road. Monck Road’s original purpose was twofold; firstly, that of opening up a wilderness area to settlement; secondly, it was intended to serve as an alternate military route from the upper Great Lakes to the Ottawa Valley. At that time the only other route was the St. Lawrence River, which was vulnerable to American attack.
The route of Monck Road was surveyed in 1864 to ‘65. Construction under Chief Engineer Snow began in 1866, and the road was finished in 1873. Settlement was encouraged by giving free grants of land along the route, assuming the settlers fulfilled the conditions of settlement. The free land turned out not to be too good for farming, but the resourceful settlers found additional sustenance and income in hunting, fishing and trapping.
Monck Road would luckily never be required for military purposes. Yet at the time of its construction there were threats not to be taken lightly.

My 300lbs Weight Loss Left Me With 13lbs Of Loose Skin
SUBSCRIBE to Barcroft TV:
A MAN who shed an incredible 310 lbs after becoming morbidly obese has had 13 lbs of loose skin removed in a life-changing procedure. At one point, John Allaire was so morbidly obese he wore 8XL shirts and had to be weighed on a commercial scale at a fish market, as standard scales would not hold his weight. But after joining a fitness programme and dropping from 540 pounds to a lean 230 lbs, the 27-year-old was left with severe excess skin. John underwent skin removal surgery in March which saw the bulk of the loose skin on his torso and arms removed – but will require further surgery in the future to remove the skin on his lower body.
