“Catch 9 of 28 Fugitives Nazis, Warn Citizens To ‘Use Force’,” Toronto Star. April 19, 1941. Pages 01 & 02. ---- SUSPECT ESCAPED FLIER IN U.S. ORGANIZED FIFTH COLUMN AID FOR PALS IN ONTARIO CAMP ---- Food and Civilian Clothing Were in Readiness for ‘Troublesome’ Prisoners When They Tunnelled Under Barricade in Nation’s First Mass Break ---- SUGGEST RECENT MYSTERIOUS FIRE SET TO SCREEN THEIR ACTIVITIES ---- Nine of 28 Nazi Airmen who tunnelled out of a Northern Ontario internment camp last night have been recaptured, Col. Hubert Stethem, director of internment camps, said in Toronto at noon. Two are already back in the camp.

Col. Stethem is awaiting arrival of an R.C.A.F. bomber from Ottawa to take him to the scene of the hunt in what a provincial policeman at Port Arthur calls the ‘rock and Christmas tree’ bush country north of Lake Superior and east of Schreiber.

The airmen, captured in England when their planes were shot out from under them, escaped through a tunnel under barbed wire. The first five recaptured were caught by veterans of the camp guard.

The prisoners apparently had scattered after the break. Col. Stethem said that some of the Germans had been captured west of the camp and others east. Patrols are out at points farther from the camp than the spots where the men were captured, he added.

None of those recaptured, offered any resistance, Col. Sthem added.

As yet Col. Stethen has not been able to learn in which direction from the camp the five were captured.

‘We’ll have to find that out in a hurry if we are going to map any organized plan of search,’ he said.

The break was carefully planned, and there is strong probability that it was aided by fifth column activity from outside the camp.

The airmen, when they crept out through the tunnel left dummies stuffed under their blankets to deceive the night sentries. Once outside, they stole to a rock cut near the camp, and changed from the distinctive cap dress into civilian clothes.

It is suggested that Baron Franz von Wera, a former member of the same group of captured airmen, who escaped across the St. Lawrence to Ogdensburg, N.Y., while the party was being escorted to the camp, might have arranged among U.S. Nazi sympathizers for the supply of this civilian clothing to the prisoners.

In addition to the clothing, the prisoners possessed chocolate and canned food when they were caught. The fact they had food was also thought to suggest outside help.

The prisoners are believed to have escaped in groups of two and three men each. Guards who caught the first five found two men together in one spot, three in another. None resisted.

Meantime, crack troops, flying squads of Ontario provincial police, and armed posses of bushworkers were on the trail. It is a manhunt greater than any that the lake country has seen before, across lakes and streams swollen by spring floods, under a drizzling low mist.

The camp is closest to the railway points of Rossport, Dublin, Ozone, Jackfish, Heron Bay, Struther, and White River. Except for scattered lumber and mining camps, there are no settlements and no roads but the C.P.R. right-of-way.

Inspector Ingraham of the O.P.P. at Port Arthur, in charge of police units in the territory, said ‘The prisoners could only escape along the railroad or by airplane.’

First Mass Escape It was the first mass escape since Canada entered the war. The men, all prisoners of war, burrowed a tunnel under the barricade and vanished without raising an alarm.

The roads are either non-existent or badly damaged by the winter.

The camp from which the men escaped is the same one in which a fire broke out, mysteriously, a few days ago. There is a possibility that the Nazis set the fire to screen their activity in digging the tunnel.

The camp is located near a pulp and paper plans and two logging camps which employ about 75 men. Most of the bush workers in the areas are Finns, and they are joining in the search.

Officials at Ottawa say the prisoners will be handicapped by lack of knowledge of the rough country, through which only men skilled in bushcraft would attempt to travel any distance. Hunger will be the greatest factor in driving the men back into the arms of internment authorities, it is suggested.

Fled in Storm The break was made under the cover off a wet, stormy night, and a continuing heavy rain, sluicing down over the rock, pine and berry bushes of the Lake Superior shore., makes it easy for the escaped men to conceal themselves.

Although authorities were inclined to believe that the escaped men were heading east from the camp, along the C.P.R. tracks, it is possible that German sympathizers or fifth columnists across the lake, in Wisconsin, may have made some effort to get them across to the United States by boat.

All provincial policemen in the northern part of the province have been mobilized on the search. Thirty-five O.P.P. constables were assigned to the job through headquarters at Port Arthur and Sudbury, and between ‘50 and 100′ crack troops were ordered out on the search from Port Arthur.

Flight-Lieut. H. C. Johnson, commander of the R.C.A.F. elementary training school,at Fort William, said the school had no planes with sufficient range to aid in the search for the prisoners. ‘We have only training planes and the nearest field with craft of sufficient size is Winnipeg. or the east,’ he said.

Civilian posses of sharp-eyed, straight-shooting northern trappers and railwaymen, have been organized at key points along the rail line, to add to the provincial police and guards in the search.

‘The only chance for those fellows to make good their escape that I can see is to be picked up by airplanes and it would have to be a number of them or a big transport plane from the United States flying across the 200 miles of Lake Superior,’ said Inspector Ingram.

‘Even before getting aboard the plans, which themselves would have to contend with rough weather and open lake, they would have to make their way through 25 miles, of bush to the shore of the lake and the planes would have to be ready to take them off immediately. That would mean outside collaboration, which I do not think is possible. It s raining and it would be wet and cold, to say nothing of the need of food and shelter. If they get away they will be pretty clever, and I don’t think they can do it.’

The prisoners are among the most troublesome Nazis who have been brought captive to Canada. Landed at an eastern Canadian port a few weeks ago, they have made constant efforts to escape and have given troubles from the moment they reached the internment camp.

The country in which the camp is located is heavily treed and studded with tiny lakes and streams. The district is thinly populated.

‘Most Isolated in Canada’ A secretary of state department spokesman, at Ottawa, said all prisoners in the camp had been accounted for at 8 p.m. when the usual nightly check-up was made. It was 1 a.m. when the escapes were discovered, he said.

‘The camp is the most isolated camp in Canada,’ said the spokesman. ‘The bush is thick and extends on all sides of the camp for miles and miles. There are no roads to speak of and the only quick means of moving through the densely wooded country is on a railway right-of-way.’

The spokesman said there was no settlement in the area from which the fugitives could obtain food or other aid.

‘If they are heading for the United States border as other prisoners have done they will have to travel some 500 or 600 miles around Lake Superior,’ he added. ‘If a wholesale break had to come it could not come in a better place from the standpoint of placing the men in country that is difficult to travel through.’

The prisoners early established records as ‘bad actors.’ The day after reaching port, two attempted to escape but were recaptured almost immediately near Moncton, N.B.

A young Nazi air lieutenant dived through an internment train window during a brief stop at Smith Falls, Ont. After short minutes of liberty military police caught him. But not before the German officer had enunciated the attitude of the whole shipment of these prisoners: ‘It is the duty of a German officer to escape if he cane,’ he told guards.

The spokesman said there was no settlement in the area from which the fugitives could obtain food or other aid.

The prisoners early established records as ‘bad actors.’ The day after reaching port, two attempted to escape but were recaptured almost immediately near Moncton, N.B.

Mobilize Provincial Police Mobilization of all provincial police in the northern part of the province was organized immediately after the news of the escape.

Police dogs used in earlier hunts for escaped Germans would likely be sent in from Winnipeg headquarters, the R.C.M.P. here stated.

The men are believed to have made their break about 1 a.m. Toronto police got word of the escape from provincial police at 7.50 a.m. but neither had any general description of what the prisoners were wearing.

Major C. B. Lindsey of Toronto is commandant of the camp. He was formerly attached to the Veterans’ Guard of Canada and he was in charge of A Company of the Veterans’ Guard of Canada which was sent from Toronto to escort the prisoners.

Last night’s wholesale break brought to 61 the number of prisoners who have escaped in Canada since the start of the war.

Four was the largest number of prisoners to make a break in the past, and all previous fugitives have been recaptured except Baron von Werra, who managed to reach the U.S. soil at Ogdensburg, N.Y.

THESE ARE GERMAN PRISONERS BROUGHT TO CANADA - MANY OF THEM ARE LOOSE --- ‘SUB’ OFFICER Carl Rabe, officer from a German submarine, escaped while receiving treatment in Christie Street hospital, Toronto. He was captured on the lake shore after an attempt to row to the United States.

TRIED IT IN HALIFAX Peter Schierning made his break for freedom right after the ship which brought him to Canada reached an east coast port. Schierning was quickly captured before he had gone far.

ROWED ST. LAWRENCE Baron Franz von Wera made a dramatic bid for freedom when he escaped from a prison train at Mount Laurier, Que., hitch-hiked to the St. Lawrence near Prescott, and rowed to Ogdensburg, N.Y. He was caught there.

HE TRIED, TO Hals Kibert tried to doge detention in an Ontario prison camp in August, 1940. But e was no more successful than other Germans who have tried to make good their escape. All get caught.

SEARCHED Guards take no chances with prisoners, all are carefully searched on arrival, like this one. But when large numbers are held in camps, as is necessary in wartime, some escapes are said inevitable.

ESCAPE IS CALLED BIRTHDAY GIFT FOR ADOLF HITLER ---- Ottawa, April 19 - (CP) - The fact that Hitler’s birthday is tomorrow may be back of the wholesale escape of prisoners from an internment camp in northwestern Ontario, it was believed here today. It was learned authoritatively that officials had laid plans for a super-watch Sunday on all internment camps in the country as a precaution against breaks engineered as a Nazi gesture for Hitler’s birthday.

‘USE ANY FORCE’ TO RE-TAKE NAZIS RESIDENTS TOLD --- Authorities Advise Chapleau and White River Area To Be on Alert ---- ‘LIKELY MOVE EAST’ ---- ‘Use any force necessary.’ This was the warning issued in Toronto today by Col. Robert Stethen, director of internment, addressed to residents of the Lake Superior bush country around Chapleau and White Rover. He spike because 28 German prisoners escaped through a tunnel from a Lake Superior internment camp last midnight. Five have since been recaptured.

‘The men are all non-commissioned men of the German air force, mostly crews of planes that were brought down raiding London. Since they came from the east. I feel they will head back to the east, and I strongly advise residents of the country around Chapleau and White River to be on the watch.

‘They should, if they spot any of these man, use any force necessary to hold them until military aid can arrive.’

‘I’d Have Stayed in Prison Camp’ Says Man Who Knows Bushland --- By TOM JONSON --- Kenora, April 19 - ‘I was at the prison camp from which 30 Nazis escaped this week. If I were they - and I’ve had a lot of experience in the Ontario bush - I would have stayed there.

‘It’s in the middle of the most desolate country in Ontario. It’s surrounded by the toughest kind of bush country.

The camp itself is one of the best known in Canada since it is near the main line of a transcontinental railway.

From what I heard from the people in the little settlement this week, the captain of the ‘hell ship’ Altmark, who was captured in Norway when his prison ship tried to run home with British sailors taken from boats sunk by the Graf Spee, is there. His only hobby, they told me, is making little boats inside bottles

ACTUAL PICTURES OF CAMPSITE FROM WHICH 28 GERMAN PRISONERS BROKE FREE --- FUGITIVE GERMAN FLIERS MUST FLEE THROUGH ROCKY, BUSH COVERED HILL COUNTRY THROUGH WHICH NO ROADS RUN Barbed wire fences surround the camp on the north shore off Lake Superior fro which 28 Germans escaped shortly after midnight last night, as can be seen in the picture taken of the camp clearing before the buildings were raised, LEFT. Heavy rain sluiced down over the rocky, bush-covered countryside, which can be seen about the camp, when the break was made. There are few inhabitants in the area, except Indian families, living in tiny shacks, CENTRE, and trappers, many of whom are even now organized in posses hunting the escaped men. It is thought the Nazis, all fliers, may have headed east along the main line of the C.P.R. which, near the camp, cuts through red granite hills, RIGHT. Thirty-five Ontario provincial police constables have been dispatched from Port Arthur, and ‘50 to 100′ troops are said to have joined the search. The camp is the most isolated in Canada, an Ottawa spokesman said. There are no roads to speka of in the district, and those few are nearly impassable.

Policing Memories of Garry Crawford Circa 1962 Part XII It was on June 14, 1971. I had just reported to the Superintendent at Sault Ste Marie D.H.Q., dropped off Sergeant Major Orville Waito and headed north on Highway #17 towards Wawa. If anyone has not travelled this section of Highway #17, it is one of the most beautiful scenic highways in Ontario. I remember my excitement growing as I travelled up past the Goulais River and when I first seen the majesty of Lake Superior. The immensity of the lake along with rugged shoreline and background of the mountains was breath taking. I drove by miles of beaches and I was amazed that I did not see a soul on them. The road constantly dips inland for a mile or two then you pop back out to another explosion of scenery at the Lake. Little did I realize that this beautiful country would be our home for the next nine wonderful years! I travelled by Harmony Bay, Batchewana Bay, Pancake Bay, Mamanse Harbour, Alona Bay and finally the Montreal River the half waypoint to Wawa. This was where I later learned the division point was between Sault Ste Marie and Wawa Detachments. At Montreal River the road goes up a steep incline for a mile and a quarter as you travel through an area of hill tops and lakes to Kenny Lake then the road drops down again to the Agawa Bay area where you follow along the great lake again, running inland past Doc Greig Lake, Red Rock until it finally pops back out again at Old Woman Bay. On reaching this point I had already crossed many large rivers. I would later memorize all the rivers and tick them off; in my mind, as I travelled north or south between Wawa and Sault Ste Marie. On crossing the Old Woman River the road took another steep incline and left the lake for a distance passing Baby and Fenton Lake, then over the Michipicoten River and finally the Wawa Detachment on the top of the hill It is on the service road just to the south of the town of Wawa. On reaching Wawa Detachment which is approximately two and a half hours north of Sault Ste Marie. I was greeted by the then Detachment Commander Patty Bingham. I became the third Corporal serving under Patty. The other two Corporals were Bill Duncan and Bill Freeth. Constables that immediately come to mind were Ray Negus, Ed Zelionis, Walter Purdy, Jeff Lamb, Joe Poderys, Spence Coutu, Tim Jones, Don Lewko, Carmen Foster, Tex Luoma, Tom Richber and Ray Rose. There were many others that I remember, however I believe they came later. I took a room at the Beaver Motel the first night and proceeded to orient myself to the Town of Wawa itself. The town of Wawa had their own municipal police force at that time. It was called the Michipicoten Township Police Force and the Chief was Scott McCrae. The Town is situated on a height of land between the Magpie River Valley and Wawa Lake, which lays east of the town for a distance of seven miles. Highway #101 runs from Highway #17 to the Town of Wawa, then east along the south shore of Wawa Lake to Chapleau and Timmins. The Wawa Golf Coarse lies in the Magpie River Valley to the West of the town and at elevation perhaps 200 feet lower. I remember that first night, driving out to the William Teddy Park; about a mile east of Wawa and just off Highway #101. The park was named after a native man who had first discovered gold in the creek that borders the park. I got out of my car and walked over to the shore where the picnic table had been that we used some three years earlier, where I had made a wish to be posted there. I don’t remember expressing that wish to anyone else other than my wife and sister and brother-in-law. However I was so thrilled that luck had brought me there. I looked back westerly at the town of Wawa itself and marveled at is beauty. Almost the whole length of the town has a sand beach at its edge. On reporting for duty the following day I learned, that the Detachment while not policing the town of Wawa at that time, had a very large area. To the east we covered out Highway #101 to the Sudbury Algoma district line, then into the town of Missanabie on the CNR. This patrol also included the mining hamlet of Renabie. This was a distance of approximately 85 miles from Wawa. We were required by agreement to patrol that area on each shift. The town of Hawk Junction is located about 12 miles out Highway #101 on the Algoma Central Railway. There seem to be a large number of occurrences that required our attendance in that area. Our area also went south on Hwy #17 to the Montreal River a distance of approximately 70 miles. To the North of Wawa we were responsible for 30 miles of Highway #17. Michipicoten Township police covered the land area that was included in their Municipal area for a distance of ten miles north of Wawa, our Detachment was responsible for all that other land area. We also initially had the town of Dubreuville. This was later made a one man Detachment. I should mention that following the appointment of the one man Detachment at Dubreuville, I was lucky again and assigned to supervise and monitor it. For the majority of my years at Wawa I had the pleasure of having Bob Pilon as the Constable posted there. Bob required very little supervising and at each visit I made, it was like visiting old friends, it was always a joy. On some occasions my wife made the trip with me and would visit Bob’s wife. One thing that stands out in my memory was the first week I was in Wawa, there were 11 moose motor vehicle collisions on our 30 mile stretch of the North Highway #17 alone. That was not counting those on Highway #101 and many more on the southern stretch of Highway #17. This I learned was quite normal for the area. I also learned that the dead moose provided a ready meat supply for many of the Constables and some of the Corporals. My boys use to tell me: You raised us on steak and weaned us on hamburger. They were not referring to beef steak. These types of accidents would continue all year but were especially bad in the spring of the year. There is some who say the moose congregate at the Highway because of salt used in the previous winter, and also that the flies chase the moose out of the bush to open areas. The fact is they sure like the highways. While the main work at Wawa was traffic enforcement and motor vehicle accidents, there was always a large number of break and enter and theft investigations, as the large wilderness area had very many tourist resorts and camps. We also had many lost person searches, drowning’s and accidental deaths to investigate. Wawa had three air services flying out of Wawa Lake. They were Airedale, White River Air and Watson’s. George Theriault flew out of Hawk Lake at Hawk Junction. I and many of the members of Wawa Detchment flew at one time or another with these services. Sometimes on investigations and sometimes for pleasure. The first month or two at Wawa I was busy obtaining accommodation, for my family and I, plus arranging for the necessary move from Warren to Wawa. We owned our house in Warren and at that time the force only paid for real estate fees. We were able to obtain the services of a real estate company from Sudbury, however they never did bring a customer or help with the sale. We finally succeeded in selling our home by advertising in the Sudbury Star. We found a home at 20 Superior Ave., in Wawa that had been moved down from the Renabie Mine town site, placed on a new basement and completely refinished. The only problem was the home would not be completed for another month. With the home in Warren sold, we arranged with a mover to move our furniture then store it until our new home was available. At that time we owned a Starcraft hardtop pop up trailer, so we moved it to the William Teddy Park on Highway #101. We moved into our trailer in July 1971, with our two boys age 8 and 10 years. My wife was just not quite sure of what I was getting her into. The house was still not completed when the mover finally came, but the builder agreed to let us use the two bedrooms to store all of our furniture while he completed the house. Looking back, it was a really good experience for us camping at William Teddy Park. As I write this article my wife and I have enjoyed a happy marriage for 60 years, however I must admit it takes a very special person to endure some of the things that happen to the spouse of an OPP member, especially during a northern posting. The first year or so at Wawa much of my time was taken up attending further training courses both in Brampton and Aylmer. The first being a Corporal Development Course, followed by a Criminal Investigation Course. During these courses my wife was left in Wawa adjusting to her new home. It was she who made our home a home and kept our family stong. The first winter in Wawa there was very heavy snowfall, if I remember correctly there was a total of 17 feet of snowfall. Highway #17 was closed many times. It was over a hundred and fifty miles to Sault Ste Marie, many of those miles ran close to the lake. Snow effect snow combined with the strong winds would cause complete whiteout conditions. So often when the roads were closed I would get a phone call, the person on the phone would inquire about the road conditions to the Soo. When I advised they were closed, they would argue with me as they wished to take the chance and go. I remember one day taking the family out for a snowmobile run. We stopped in a cleared area and I jumped off my machine, I sunk in the snow to a point where it was above my waist. I was happy the machine I was riding was close enough to me to assist my crawling back up and onto the snowmobile. I will continue this adventure in my next submission. If you wish to read my previous submissions, they are all stored at the following URL: <garryspolicememories.tumblr.com>

Lipsett Lake Sunset 2 by Petri Varsa Via Flickr: Sunset over Lipsett Lake on Crown Land near Chapleau, Ontario, Canada. In the summer of 2000 I went on a fishing trip on some crown (government managed) land near Chapleau, in Northern Ontario. We followed a pair of tracks off of a logging road to get to the boat launch. From there, it was still good boat ride to get to the island where we camped. It was a true Canadian experience. Check out an album containing more of my photos shot in 2000. Canon FTb Shot on 135 format Kodak Royal Gold 400 ISO film.

Rural medicine: How a gamble to bring in doctors is paying off

Twelve years after the first class began at The Northern Ontario School of Medicine, many remote communities have ‘gone from crisis mode to planning mode’

André Picard, The Globe and Mail

Sunday, January 14, 2018

SUDBURY — When the Northern Ontario School of Medicine was created, it was based on a simple – but untested – premise: If you educate and train physicians in rural and remote northern communities, they will be more likely to practise there.

Twelve years later, the gamble is paying off better than anyone expected: 94 per cent of NOSM graduates who do a family medicine residency in the North stay there to practise, and 69 per cent of all graduates, specialists and GPs alike, have opted to work in remote and rural areas, particularly Northern Ontario.

"Has it worked?" Dr. Roger Strasser, the dean of NOSM asks. "Yes it has. Many northern communities have gone from crisis mode to planning mode thanks to our graduates. But we're still a long way from having the medical care we need in Northern Ontario." One of the success stories is Chapleau, located 850 kilometres north of Toronto. The blue-collar town went years without a physician before three NOSM graduates decided to set up shop for the 3,000 people in a catchment area that includes the township and the nearby reserves.

The trio established a family health team that operates a family medicine clinic, and they staff the ER in the small local hospital, oversee home care and long-term care, and run clinics in the two nearby First Nations communities, Brunswick House and Chapleau Cree First Nation.

"The area went seven years without a family doctor so there was no continuity of care and a lot of people's health was neglected. So, yes, they appreciate us," says Dr. Doris Mitchell, who graduated from NOSM in 2010.

A member of the Brunswick House First Nation, she worked as a nurse for 15 years before applying to medical school.

"I had aspirations to be a physician but I didn't want to leave the North, so NOSM was a perfect fit for me," she says.

Dr. Mitchell says that, after several years of practice, she really appreciates the school's hands-on approach to learning and its emphasis on rural medicine.

"They prepared us not only for the work environment, but for the emotional environment," she said.

Small-town medicine is rewarding because physicians dabble in a bit of everything, from minor surgery (sometimes even on patients' pets) through to trauma care and palliative care.

"The sense of community is wonderful but the reality is that working in your hometown can also be horrible," Dr. Mitchell says. There are unwanted pregnancies, suicides, heart attacks and deaths, and none of the patients are anonymous strangers; sometimes they are even family members and that can be awkward and ethically challenging.

The resources and technology can also be limited. Dr. Mitchell recounts the case of a car-crash victim with five fractures, as well as a perforated bowel and kidney, all of which had to be diagnosed without a CT scan or MRI, and whose care was complicated by the fact a snowstorm delayed the arrival of the air ambulance.

The right fit

The dream of a northern medical school dated back decades. When McMaster University was granted a medical school in 1972, there was hope that a school would also be established at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay. Instead, McMaster created a program to send its students to Northern Ontario for training and residency.

In 1999, the Ontario government established a commission to examine the province's physician supply and distribution problems. That report featured a single line saying the idea of a rural/northern medical school should be investigated.

An expert panel was appointed and they recommended against a school, saying they had reservations about the ability to attract qualified staff and quality training opportunities.

But access problems in the North were dire and the mayors of northern cities lobbied for a home-grown solution.

The Northern Ontario School of Medicine was approved in 2001, and the first class began in 2005, with two campuses, one at Laurentian University in Sudbury and the other at Lakehead University.

Today, NOSM has 64 places, split between the two cities. It gets more than 2,000 applicants annually. Tuition fees are $20,000 a year, middle-of-the-pack among Canada's 17 medical schools.

The selection process favours students from Northern Ontario, those from other parts of rural/remote Canada, francophones and Indigenous students, but there is no affirmative action program. "We consulted with the community and they don't want a quota because they feel it creates stigma," Dr. Strasser says.

NOSM does not use the Medical College Admission Test, because it has never been validated for francophone or Indigenous students. Instead, applicants undergo multiple mini-interviews, many of them involving community members such as patients, activists and First Nations elders.

Kimberley Edwards, a third-year medical student, says NOSM is the only medical school she applied to.

"Because of who I am, it felt like the right fit."

Ms. Edwards is Cree, but was brought up in Carleton Place, a small town outside Ottawa.

Like many NOSM students, she is older – she is 36 – and took a circuitous route to medicine.

After high school, she studied human kinetics at the University of Guelph. "But, to be honest, it didn't go so well. I was one of the only Indigenous students and I didn't feel like I fit in," Ms. Edwards says.

She left school and took a job in a sleep clinic, then went to Mohawk College to learn diagnostic heart sonography. That led to a job at the Ottawa Heart Institute, which sparked an interest in both medicine and the North. (Cardiac patients from Nunavut travel to Ottawa for care and the institute does regular clinics in Iqaluit, something Ms. Edwards loved.)

"Because my grades weren't great, I decided to return to school, and see if I could qualify for med school," she says of her decision to study in the physician assistant program at the University of Toronto. From there, she applied successfully to NOSM.

"I want to practise family medicine, to work with Indigenous people in the North, so the program has been great," Ms. Edwards says.

That decision on her future career was sealed when she spent a month in Moose Factory, not far (in northern terms) from Attawapiskat, where her father was raised.

George Payne, a first-year student, was brought up in Sault Ste. Marie but went south for school, at the University of Guelph, then Waterloo.

He was accepted to three medical schools, but chose NOSM because he wanted to be back in Northern Ontario. "I really missed the winters," he says.

Mr. Payne also loves the intimacy of NOSM. At the Thunder Bay campus, his class is only 28 students, and they mostly do problem-based learning in small groups and lots of field work.

"They really prepare you for the real world here," he says, excitedly recounting how he just returned from a placement with paramedics.

In first year, NOSM students must do a four-week placement in a remote Indigenous community. In second year, there are two two-week stints in rural areas, again often Indigenous communities. (There are more than 200 reserves in Ontario, most in the North.) In third year, there is an eight-month clerkship in one of 15 communities and, in the final year, students spend time in a tertiary hospital in places such as Sudbury or North Bay.

Almost two-thirds of NOSM graduates choose family medicine for their residency, double the national average; one-third chose general specialties and; only 5 per cent chose a subspecialty.

Andrew Ferrier is one who took the subspecialist route. He just began a five-year dermatology program at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.

He has studied both at Lake Forest College near Chicago (on a hockey scholarship) and University of Ottawa – where he earned a PhD in neuroscience – but, as a Métis from Cape Breton, he says rural life "has a big pull on my heart."

Dr. Ferrier had a placement in a dermatology clinic in second year and found his passion. He plans to return to Northern Ontario to practise. That's good news for patients – the wait list to see a dermatologist in Sudbury is more than 18 months. And patients in the North often have to travel to Toronto or Ottawa to see specialists.

Paul Heinrich, CEO of the North Bay Regional Health Centre, says NOSM has played an important role in attracting physicians to the region and retaining them. One in three new doctors at the hospital are NOSM grads.

But other measures have also helped.

A physician who chooses North Bay can qualify for a $25,000 relocation bonus from the regional health centre, and the city matches that amount; the provincial Northern Health Programs also provides an additional $80,000 over four years. In return, the doctor must commit to staying in the city for five years and taking on 1,200 patients.

"But the biggest draw isn't the money; it's the lifestyle," Mr. Heinrich says.

Dr. Renée Gauthier agrees.

She and three partners – all NOSM grads – opened the Northern Shores Medical Clinic after graduation.

"We all wanted to come back home because this is a nice place to live and raise a family," she says.

The clinic has room to take on a dozen physicians in total, and the need is there. North Bay, a city of 50,000, has an estimated 15,000 orphan patients.

François Doiron was a nurse with a family health team in Marathon, Ont., when he discovered his passion for rural medicine.

He applied and was accepted to three medical schools but chose NOSM. Dr. Doiron just graduated and is doing his family medicine residency with the Harbourview Family Health Team in Thunder Bay.

"I plan to practise in the North, so I wanted to be trained in this environment," he says.

While Dr. Doiron is almost two years away from completing his residency, he is already being wooed by several communities to set up a family medicine practice.

"The need is there, that's for sure," he says. "But I want to be careful not to be wooed by the money or the perks. I want to practise where I plan to spend my life."
