What is the secret of the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park?
Ten years ago, a little boy went missing in the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park. Legend has is that he died and became the Ghost of Ontario. When fifteen-year-old Kylie learns of it, she vows to uncover the mystery, but things become extra interesting when she and her family meet an amnesic hermit, Ihaan, in the park.
Ihaan has no memories of his past. All he remembers is his life with Canada's wild animals. However, it changes when he meets Kylie. Suddenly, he is desperate to find his lost memories, so he joins Kylie and her family on their canoe trip, much to Kylie's mother's displeasure.
As the trip progresses, Kylie and her family learn new secrets about Ihaan and try to help him get home. Ihaan, though, is not too eager to leave the provincial park after living alone in it for long. When mysterious happenings begin: "Lucilla" and voices in the forest, Kylie begins to wonder... Is Ihaan the Ghost of Ontario himself?

Note: Ihaan is pronounced "Ian".(IMPORTANT! Just FYI, this is very poorly written. I wrote it in 10th grade, but I needed somewhere to store it.)

This is a letter I wrote to the Canadian Government for Have a Heart Day 2024. I am asking the government to stop discriminating against First Nations children, to stop giving them inadequate services, education, and support, to stop treating them unequally compared to non-Indigenous children, and to stop taking them away from their loving families. I really hope that you read my letter and that you either copy paste it or write your own, and email the Canadian government yourself.
