SHINGLE MILL
Cedar shingles are part of Canada's heritage. Until the introduction of the first shingle mill, the Arcadians as earl as the 17th Century were hand-cutting shingles to build their homes.

Few Canadians today have seen a
cedar shingle roof. Fewer still
have have employed the centuries

common to rural Canada as those covered by today's asphalt shingle.
