A large Pow-Wow is held by our native Indian community during the summer and is a definite experience. Arrangements can be made for a tour of the area by air providing an awesome view.

Dionne Quintuplets Over seventy years ago the world was amazed by the birth of the Dionne Quintuplets on May 28, 1934, in nearby Corbeil. This amazement quickly turned to love for the five identical tiny girls born to Oliva and Elzire Dionne. The Quint's combined weight at birth was only 13lbs. 5ozs. and they had to be kept in incubators for the first month of their lives. Their lungs were so small that diluted doses of rum were required daily to help the Quints breath properly. It was a one in 57 million chance of giving birth to identical quintuplets and even less chance of them surviving, but the Dionne Quints did.

Chief Commanda Located at the North Bay waterfront, people come from miles around to enjoy scenic cruises on the Chief Commanda II.

Heritage Railway Company When visiting the North Bay Waterfront, be sure to wander over to the Heritage Railway Company. This is a miniature railway which runs on 2700 feet of 15" guage track. We run both an actual steam engine and a diesel engine. You experience travel in an old fashioned way as you buy your ticket at the station and once on the train, the conductor punches your ticket just like the old days.
