La boulangerie The Old Wakefield Bakery portait bien son nom le 24 avril 2012 quand deux inspecteurs ont visité le commerce du 813, chemin de la Rivière, à Wakefield, située à une trentaine de minutes au nord de Gatineau.
La vétusté des lieux était frappante. Et de toute évidence, un grand ménage des lieux n’avait pas été fait depuis longtemps, de sorte que la vermine foisonnait un peu partout.
