Collaborator(s): Mr. Léopold Couturier, Mr. Doris Hébert
Description: From 1955 on, Fraser hired workers during winter to retrieve wood resting at the bottom of the Madawaska River. This way, the river was cleaned and wood was salvaged from the bottom of the river. Here we see a man making a hole in the ice with a chainsaw. The retrieved wood was transported to the Fraser Mill in Edmundston.
