"Who says Canada's buffalo are extinct? Here is a scene from Goose Lake, near Wainright, Alta, showing a part of the great herd on the government reserve there. Science is attempting to cross-breed these buffalo with cattle to produce a hard milch-cow for northern climes.

The Ontario government is moving forward with plans to reinstate passenger rail service in northeastern Ontario.
Ontario's associate minister of transportation, Stan Cho, was in North Bay Thursday where he announced that the province will spend $139.5 million on three new train sets as part of the plan to bring back Ontario Northland passenger trains.
Cho said many communities, businesses and individuals have been calling for the return of the Northlander, and the province has "heard those calls loud and clear."

My Relationship with Nature: A Lifelong Journey of Mentorship and Discovery in North Bay
Growing up in the heart of Northern Ontario, amidst the serene beauty of North Bay, I've had the privilege of developing a profound connection with nature that has shaped my worldview and defined my sense of place. My journey into the arms of Mother Nature has been a lifelong odyssey, and in this blog post, I'll explore how this relationship has evolved over the years, with a special nod to the person who offered me a lasting "sense of place" – my father.
Nestled between the picturesque landscapes of Lake Nipissing and Trout Lake, North Bay has been more than just a geographical location for me. It's a sanctuary, a haven, and a teacher. The two lakes, each with its own unique charm, have been the backdrop to countless memories and the catalyst for my passion for the great outdoors.
My earliest encounters with nature were guided by the steady hand of my father. He was my mentor, introducing me to the wonders of the natural world and instilling in me a deep respect for the intrinsic value of spending time amidst its beauty. From the tender age of a curious child, I embarked on adventures with him, exploring the wooded trails surrounding our home and casting my gaze upon the vastness of Lake Nipissing.
Hiking became our shared passion, an activity that not only strengthened our bond but also allowed me to appreciate the intricate details of the local flora and fauna. The trails became our silent storytellers, narrating tales of resilience, adaptation, and the cyclical beauty of life in Northern Ontario.
As I grew older, our adventures took on new dimensions. Kayaking and canoeing became staples of our summer adventures, with several Northern Ontario Lakes serving as our aquatic playgrounds. The rhythmic paddle strokes mirrored the harmony of nature, and the shimmering waters beneath us became a canvas upon which we painted memories that would last a lifetime.
Portaging added an element of challenge and camaraderie to our outdoor pursuits. Carrying a canoe between lakes tested our physical strength but also reinforced the idea that every obstacle in nature could be overcome with determination and teamwork. In this sense, my relationship with nature became an immersive journey of self-discovery, resilience, and a profound understanding of the interconnectedness between humans and the natural world.
Camping during the May long weekends has evolved into a cherished tradition for our family—a time to disconnect from the hustle of everyday life and fully embrace the calming wilderness. The crackling campfire, the symphony of night sounds, and the crisp scent of pine needles all contribute to the enchantment of our outdoor retreats.
This annual tradition, etched into the fabric of my life since birth, marks a celebration of the warmer days as we pitch our tents, stoke the campfire, and revel in the timeless joy of camping beneath the starlit canopy. These weekends symbolize the changing seasons and serve as a poignant reminder that nature, like life, unfolds in a continuous cycle of renewal and growth.
In retrospect, my relationship with nature has not only been nurtured by the enchanting landscapes of North Bay but also shaped by the values and lessons imparted by my father. Through his guidance, I've come to understand that nature is not merely a place we visit; it's a living, breathing entity that deserves our respect and protection.
As I continue to explore the wonders of North Bay and beyond, I carry with me the imprints of these formative experiences, particularly those shared with my father. His presence in every hiking trail, every paddle across the lakes, and every crackle of the campfire has been a constant reminder of the profound impact a parent can have on shaping a deep connection with the natural world.
North Bay, with its endless trails, lakes, and timeless beauty, will forever be the canvas on which my journey with nature unfolds, painted with the brushstrokes of memories created alongside my father. It is here, amidst the serene beauty of Northern Ontario, that our shared adventures have defined not only my hobbies but also instilled in me a deep sense of responsibility towards the environment. In the silent whispers of the trees and the gentle lapping of the lakeshores, his teachings echo, forming the foundation of my enduring "sense of place."

Attached above is a photo of me, immersed in the serene beauty of Northern Ontario, engaged in the rhythmic pursuit of kayaking. Paddle in hand, I navigate the tranquil waters, each stroke propelling me forward on a journey of connection with nature. This snapshot encapsulates more than a mere moment; it captures the essence of my deep affinity for the outdoors. In the gentle sway of the kayak and the picturesque surroundings, the photo becomes a visual ode to the timeless joy of exploring the pristine lakes that have been an integral part of my life's journey.
