Northern Ontario has a land area of 802,000 km² (310,000 mi²) and constitutes 87% of the land area of Ontario, although it contains less than 7% of the population.

In the early 20th century, Northern Ontario was often called "New Ontario", although this name fell into disuse because of its colonial connotations. (In French, however, the region may still be referred to as Nouvel Ontario, although le Nord de l'Ontario and Ontario-Nord are also used. French ( français,) is a Romance language spoken around the world by 118 million people as a native language and by about 180 to 260 million people )

Most of Northern Ontario is situated on the Canadian Shield, a vast rocky plateau. The Canadian Shield &mdash also called the Laurentian Plateau, or Bouclier Canadien (French &mdash is a large geological shield covered by The climate is characterized by extremes of temperature, extremely cold in winter and hot in summer.

Hydroelectricity is electricity generated by Hydropower, ie the production of power through use of the gravitational force of falling water

For some purposes, Northern Ontario is further subdivided into Northeastern and Northwestern Ontario. Cities and towns Northeastern Ontario has six cities They are Greater Sudbury, Sault Ste Geographic subdivisions Northwestern Ontario consists of the census divisions of Kenora District, Rainy River District and Thunder Bay District When the region is divided in this way, the three westernmost districts (Rainy River, Kenora and Thunder Bay) constitute "Northwestern Ontario" and the other districts constitute "Northeastern Ontario. " Northeastern Ontario contains two thirds of Northern Ontario's population.

The people of Northern Ontario have a strong sense of identity separate from the rest of Ontario. There have been movements in the past for the region to separate from the rest of Ontario, all of which have failed (see below). It is economically, politically, geographically, and socially vastly different from the rest of the province. Some organizations effectively treat it as a province — for instance, it is the only provincial or territorial subregion in Canada that sends its own team to the Brier separately from its province. The Tim Hortons Brier, or simply (and more commonly the Brier, is the annual Canadian Men 's Curling championship sanctioned by the

Judicial and administrative divisions

The Province of Canada began creating judicial districts in sparsely populated Northern Ontario with the establishment of Algoma District and Nipissing District in 1858. The Province of Canada or the United Province of Canada was a British colony in North America from 1841 to 1867 Algoma District is a District and Census division in Northeastern Ontario in the Canadian province of Ontario. Nipissing District Ontario is a District in Northeastern Ontario in the Canadian province of Ontario. These districts had no municipal function; they were created for the provision of judicial and administrative services from the district seat. A county seat is a term for an Administrative center for a County, primarily used in the United States. After the creation of the province of Ontario in 1867, the first district to be established was Thunder Bay in 1871 which until then had formed part of Algoma District. Thunder Bay District is a District and Census division in Northwestern Ontario in the Canadian province of Ontario. Year 1871 ( MDCCCLXXI) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common The Ontario government was reluctant to establish new districts in the north, partly because the northern and western boundaries of Ontario were in dispute after Confederation.

Four more northern districts were created between 1907 and 1922: Cochrane, Kenora, Sudbury and Temiskaming.

Unlike the counties and regional municipalities of Southern Ontario, which have a government and administrative structure and jurisdiction over specified government services, a district lacks that level of administration. A county is a Land area of Regional Government within a larger State. A Regional Municipality (or Region) is a type of Canadian Municipal Government similar to and at the same municipal government level as Southern Ontario is the portion of the Canadian province of Ontario lying south of the French River and Algonquin Park. Districts are too sparsely populated to maintain a county government system, so many district-based services are provided directly by the provincial government. For example, districts have provincially-maintained secondary highways instead of county roads.

A portion of the Nipissing District which lies south of the formal dividing line between Northern and Southern Ontario is considered part of Northern Ontario because of its status as part of Nipissing.

Until the City of Greater Sudbury was created in 2001, Thunder Bay had a larger population than the old city of Sudbury, but the Regional Municipality of Sudbury was the larger Census Metropolitan Area as Sudbury had a much more populous suburban belt (including the city of Valley East, formerly the region's sixth-largest city.

The Big Nickel is a nine-metre (30 ft replica of a 1951 Canadian nickel, located at the grounds of Dynamic Earth in Sudbury, Ontario, These two regions are quite distinct from each other economically and culturally, and also quite distant from each other geographically. As a result, Sudbury and Thunder Bay are each the primary city in their part of the region, but neither city can be said to outrank the other as the principal economic centre of Northern Ontario as a whole.

In fact, each city has a couple of distinct advantages that the other city lacks -- Sudbury is at the centre of a larger economic sphere due to the city's, and Northeastern Ontario's, larger population, but Thunder Bay is advantaged by air, rail and shipping traffic due to its prime location along major continental transportation routes. The Thunder Bay International Airport is the third busiest airport in Ontario (after Lester B. Pearson International Airport in Toronto and Macdonald-Cartier International Airport in Ottawa) carrying some 600,000 passengers in 2004 with over 100 flights and four international flights daily. Thunder Bay Airport or Thunder Bay International Airport,, is an Airport in the Canadian city of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Lester B Pearson International Airport is a major International airport serving Toronto, Ontario, Canada, situated 27 kilometres (17 mi northwest

Sudbury's economy, in which the largest sectors of employment are government-related fields such as education and health care, is somewhat more diversified than Thunder Bay's, which is still based primarily on natural resources and manufacturing. Yet in the era of government cutbacks, Thunder Bay's economy has been less prone to recession and unemployment.

Under the staples thesis of Canadian economic history, Northern Ontario is a "hinterland" or "periphery" region, whose economic development has been defined primarily by providing raw natural resource materials to larger and more powerful business interests from elsewhere in Canada or the world. The staples thesis is a theory of Canadian Economic development.

Northern Ontario has had difficulty in recent years maintaining both its economy and its population. All of the region's cities declined in population between the censuses of 1996 and 2001. Year 1996 ( MCMXCVI) was a Leap year starting on Monday (link will display full 1996 Gregorian calendar) Year 2001 ( MMI) was a Common year starting on Monday according to the Gregorian calendar. (This coincides with the discontinuation of the operation of the subsidized government airline, norOntair in March 1996. NorOntair is a defunct airline from Canada that operated its first scheduled flight October 18, 1971 and its last flight March 29 ) Although the cities have tried with mixed results to diversify their economies in recent years, most communities in the region are resource-based economies, whose economic health is very dependent on "boom and bust" resource cycles. Mining and forestry are the two major industries in the region, although manufacturing, transportation, public services and tourism are represented as well. Mining is the extraction of valuable Minerals or other geological materials from the earth usually (but not always from an Ore body Forestry is the Art and Science of managing forests tree Plantations and related Natural resources. Manufacturing (from Latin manu factura, "making by hand" is the use of tools and labor to make things for use or sale Transport or transportation is the movement of people and goods from one place to another Tourism is Travel for Recreational or Leisure purposes The World Tourism Organization defines tourists as people who "travel In the 2006 census, some of the region's cities (including its four largest) posted modest population growth, while others saw further declines.

The cities have, by and large, been very dependent on government-related employment and investment for their economic diversification.

Nipissing—Timiskaming was the only riding in the region where a Conservative candidate did better than third place, which was mainly due to the fiscally conservative nature of the suburban and rural areas around and south of North Bay, but excluding the socially progressive city of North Bay proper, in which most of the polling stations were won by the Liberal candidate.

On-going high unemployment, lack of awareness of or concern for Northern Ontario's problems, and difficulties in achieving economic diversification have led to discontent amongst Northern Ontarians. Unemployment occurs when a person is available to work and currently seeking work but the person is without work. In the late 1970s, this manifested itself in the establishment of the Northern Ontario Heritage Party created and led by Ed Deibel, to lobby for the formation of a separate province of Northern Ontario. This article is about the Decade 1970-1979 For the Year 1970 see 1970. The Northern Ontario Heritage Party was a provincial Political party in Ontario, Canada that was formed in 1977 to campaign for provincial status Since Canadian Confederation in 1867 there have been several proposals for new Canadian provinces and territories. The party attracted only modest support, and folded in the 1980s. The 1980s was the decade spanning from January 1 1980 to December 31 1989.

More recently, however, such concerns have resurfaced as some residents of the city of Kenora have called for the city or the wider region to secede from Ontario and join Manitoba; a few residents throughout the region continue to suggest splitting all or part of the region into a separate province. Manitoba (English ˌmænɨˈtoʊbə French /manitoba/ is a province of Canada, spanning 647797 square kilometres (250116  sq mi of North America The latter movement, known as the Northern Ontario Secession Movement, has begun to attract attention and support; most notably by the mayors of Kenora and Fort Frances. The crisis in the Ontario forest industry, and the perceived inaction by the provincial government, has in particular spurred support for the idea of secession. In particular, many residents feel that the industrial energy rate is too high to allow the industry to remain competitive. These concerns have been given particular voice by Howard Hampton. Additionally, media coverage, though rarely in favour of secession, has begun to highlight the problems and frustrations faced by the north. Most recently, the Toronto Star, a major daily, ran a front page story on the issue. The Toronto Star is Canada 's highest-circulation newspaper though its print edition is distributed almost entirely within the province of Ontario.

Similarly, Sudbury's Northern Life community newspaper has published a number of editorials in recent years calling on the province to create a new level of supraregional government that would give the Northern Ontario region significantly more autonomy over its own affairs within the province.
