North Bay, Ontario is the gateway to Northern Ontario. Territorial evolution Those areas which formed part of New France in the pays d'en haut, essentially the watersheds of the Ottawa River,

The area was first explored by Samuel de Champlain. Samuel de Champlain (c 1575 - 25 December 1635) "The Father of New France " was a French navigator geographer cartographer Apart from First Nations tribes, voyageurs and surveyors, there was little activity in the Lake Nipissing area until the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1882.

Bonfield, Ontario was inducted into Canadian Railway Hall of Fame in 2002 as the CPR First Spike location. That was the point where the Canada Central Railway extension ended. The CCR was owned by Duncan McIntyre who amalgamated it with the CPR and became one of the handful of officers of the newly formed CPR. Duncan McIntyre ( 23 December 1834 &ndash 13 June 1894) was a Scots-Quebecer businessman noted for his participation in the The CCR started in Brockville and extended to Pembroke.

Cobden is a small community in the Township of Whitewater Region, in Renfrew County Head Clara and Maria is a township in eastern Ontario, Canada, in the County of Renfrew on the Ottawa River. Mattawa is a Town in northeastern Ontario, Canada at the confluence of the Mattawa and Ottawa Rivers in Nipissing District It then proceeded cross-country towards its final destination Bonfield (previously called Callander Station). Duncan McIntyre and his contractor James Worthington piloted the CCR expansion. Worthington continued on as the construction superintendent for the CPR past Bonfield. He remained with the CPR for about a year until he left the company. McIntyre was uncle to John Ferguson who staked out future North Bay after getting assurance from his uncle and Worthington that it would be the divisional and a location of some importance.

North Bay is known as a railway town. Besides the CPR, the town became the terminus of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway in 1902 when the Ross government took the bold move to establish a development road to serve the Haileybury settlement.

Georgian Bay (French baie Georgienne) is a large bay of Lake Huron, located in Ontario, Canada. Financing became the giant hurdle and as time passed, transportation patterns changed and interfered with the earlier practicality of the giant venture. Despite this, there were groups who still hoped it would happen as late as 1930.

Eventually such attractions as a mini-train ride and (more recently) two antique carousels (largely crafted by local artisans) were installed and quickly became very popular with tourists and locals alike. Now, work is getting underway on a large new multifaceted community park that will be developed on the former Canadian Pacific Railway yards that separated the downtown core from the existing waterfront park. The Canadian Pacific Railway ( Several more carousels, botanical gardens, a children's area and an extended mini-train ride will be among the park's attractions.
