Original Toronto Star caption: A collection of animals greet millionaire Paul Durish and his family and friends as they arrive at the Erin farm Durish has transformed into a wild life sanctuary. He intends it to be enjoyed by city youngsters who haven't had the opportunity to enjoy Ontario's outdoors. The 200-acre reserve is called Klahanie, which is the Ojibwa word for the great outdoors. Total cost of the conversion of the beef farm to reserve will be about $200,000.
