Welcome to the homepages of Alan & Ann Sandercott. I'm Alan and I'd like to introduce you to my family and tell you a little something of our lives in retirement and how we ended up at Francois Lake. My father, Orville (Sandy) Sandercott, established Sandy's Fishing and Camping Resort on Francois Lake back in the early 1960's. After successfully developing & operating the resort for several years he retired in 1978 and spend his remaining years enjoying Francois Lake.

       Following a twenty-seven year career with Canada Post Corporation, I retired in the spring of 1992. Ann and I moved to the new retreat home we designed and built ourselves on Francois Lake. With time on my hands I soon found myself enjoying a variety of hobbies; creative writing, woodworking, genealogy and webpage design. I can be reached by email at:

       Ann, too, is enjoying her retirement, always busy in her garden and greenhouse or one of her many flower beds. She loves reading and shopping for the grandchildren. Photography is another of Ann's hobbies; she took most of the pictures for this website. She's taken up fishing the last few years, and she usually catches most of the fish. We have an agreement, she does the fishing, I do the rowing & cleaning; more of that exercise stuff. Ann can be reached by email at:

Gina the pup
       The third member of our family here at the lake is Gina, a Siberian Husky/Golden Labrador cross. She came to us in the spring of 1999 and it was love at first lick. She enjoys walking, so Ann and I are receiving more than our fair share of exercise. Ann feels a lot better having Gina around in the summer to keep the bears away, especially when the grandchildren are visiting. Gina can be reached by email at:     Gina's Website
