Thunder Bay is city rich in culture and history. Local writer Duncan Weller tells why a tour of the Thunder Bay Museum is must see on your visit to Thunder Bay this summer. For over twenty years, Monica, the attractive young woman at the front desk, has welcomed patrons to the Thunder Bay Museum. Monica is also a local artist and teacher who wrote and published a book about her experiences on the job at the museum located on Donald Street in Thunder Bay's south core, just down the street from City Hall. If you're good, she won't add you to her sequel. As we talk, Monica glances at the computer screen where certain displays are monitored. She has an…

Algoma Country stretches from the North Channel of Georgian Bay, deep into the northernmost wilds of Ontario. Here you'll find glorious swathes of untamed boreal forest, glittering lakes around every sweep and turn, massive cliffs and mountains and a combination of the best motorcycle roads that make up the Grand Algoma Loop. This past summer I made an attempt to ride every paved road in Northern Ontario, and after surveying thousands of miles of asphalt in the province, the most scenic and entertaining rides to be had on two wheels is this loop. From the quaint town of Thessalon on the shores of the North Channel, heading North on Ontario's Tail of the Dragon (Highway 129) to Highway 101 into…

The New Fly Fisher Experiences Non-stop Action for big Pike and Walleye at Pine Portage Lodge
by Bill Spicer
Editor's Notes: Author Bill Spicer of The New Fly Fisher is no stranger to Algoma Country. Read on as Bill describes in his own words the fishing and lodge accommodations he experienced during his fishing trip to Pine Portage Lodge on Kabinakagami (Kaby) Lake. You can learn more about fly fishing in Algoma at www.algomaflyfishing.com Since I was first introduced to fishing, the sport has become almost an obsession with me. I love traveling in Ontario's beautiful Algoma Country and testing different waters. Recently, I had the pleasure of fishing at Pine Portage Lodge on Kaby Lake, which boasts big pike and walleye. This full-service Lodge was founded by the Watson family in 1946 and has remained in the family…

"Hunting lodges and cozy cottages offer relaxing lakeside getaways" Although we are American, my son and I have a tradition of singing “O Canada” at the opening of Sabres games, especially when Buffalo is playing the Leafs and Senators. During these spirited ice battles, this heart-felt gesture of respect engenders good will with the Canadian hockey fans around us, who are surprised we know all the words. And when the national anthem gets to the line -- “The True North strong and free!” -- my mind doesn’t picture the glitzy condos on Toronto’s waterfront or the Labatt Brewery in London or the quaint tea shops at Niagara-on-the-Lake. Instead, my thoughts drift off to a friendly idyllic region in Northeastern Ontario,…

With their 10-year-old grandson's newfound interes in airplanes, a trip to the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Center seems like a natural choice. When young Jeffrey arrives at their house with an arm full of aviation books and a half-completed balsa model of a World War I biplane, Grandma and Grandpa instantly think of a visit to one of Sault Ste. Marie's top attractions. And now, as the three walk into 64,000-square feet of historic aircraft, interactive displays and firefighting artifacts, Grandpa wonders why he doesn't come here more often. The Canadian Bushplane Heritage Center, or Bushplane Museum, was formed in 1989 to celebrate the significant role this unique class of aircraft played in the development and growth of Canada. Fittingly, the…
