THE NORTH VIEW

tells the story of Algoma and Northern Ontario; a region that forms the heart of the Great Lakes and Canada. This ruggedly dramatic landscape was formed over billions of years, sculpted by wind, rain, snow and glacial ice. Vast fresh water seas, thousands of lakes and flowing rivers continue to shape ancient granite mountains. This land has been central to the Natives, the French, the English and all the multi-national and multi-ethnic peoples that have followed. Truly, Algoma and Northern Ontario have played a pivotal role in every major stage of Canada's historical development to nationhood. The region's mysteries still enthrall and captivate enthusiasts as wide-ranging as hunters and anglers to hikers, bird-watchers and eco-tourists.
