DEVIL’S GAP ROCK SPIRIT STONE Aboriginals believe certain rocks inhabit spirits. Dev- il’s Gap Rock, however, is not such a rock. It was painted in 1894 by two brothers as a prank and has since been repainted several times by area residents. Despite the fact it is not a ‘Spirit Rock’ this particular rock at Dev- il’s Gap continues to be a popular tourist attraction.

LONNIE BEAR, KENORA HARBOURFRONT Weighing 5 tons, located on the Harbourfront, this bear serves as protector of the city, in addition to being the hardest working charitable personality in the area. Lonnie Bear is outfitted with a donation box and graciously accepts donations in support of local children’s charities.
KENORA ROTARY GOODWILL GEYSER, SAFETY BAY: KENORA HARBOURFRONT This geyser erupts on the hour and the water eruption can reach heights of up to 200 feet (75 meters). The Kenora Rotary Goodwill Geyser erupts dai- ly every hour on the hour between 8am and 11pm for 15 minutes, and also continuously between noon and 1pm. We admit it is rather peculiar and can’t explain why this happens. All the same, it is quite spectacular to witness. (Pictured top right)
TUG BOAT MCLEOD PARK Conveniently located at McLeod Park across the street from Husky the Muskie, this attraction gives visitors an opportunity to see what a real tug boat looks like!
PATH OF THE PADDLE Path of the Paddle currently has six connected trails that comprise the Trans Canada Trail in Northwestern Ontario from Kenora to Thunder Bay. Within these six trails there are operational pieces (such as the Quetico project) and conceptual pieces (such as Kenora to Manitoba). All trails will be built and operational by 2017.

WHO ARE THE ANISHINAABE? Humans have lived in the Lake of the Woods area since at least 6000 BC. Until European contact, the region’s indigenous peo- ple, the Anishinaabeg, lived in close association with this area’s richly productive land and waters. To the Anishinaabeg, the area around Kenora was known as Wauzhushk Onigum – portage to the country of the muskrats”, which settlers shortened to “Rat Portage”, Kenora’s original name. The 1873 signing of Treaty #3 formalized the Anishinaabeg relationship with European settlers, and spirit and intent of this historic agreement continues to be the basis of modern cross-cultural relationships in the territory. There are 28 First Nation communities in the Treaty #3 territory twelve of which are located on Lake of the Woods.

2015 Quiz Bowl Rules Each game consists of 10 ‘questions’. Questions may be open ended, multiple choice, or true or false. A category for the question will be provided before the question is read. The question will be shown on the screen as it is read and it will remain for 10 seconds. Once the question disappears from the screen, the moderator will move to the next question. When games include a French-speaking team, the questions will be alternatively read first in English then in French with the question appearing on the screen in both languages. On-screen questions will alternate English first and French first A team will indicate their willingness to answer a question by ringing in. Once a team rings in, they will have 15 seconds to provide an answer. Discussion is only allowed after a team has rung in. If a team rings in before the question is completely read, the moderator will stop reading the question and an answer must be provided. In the event of a wrong answer, the moderator will complete the question if necessary and the remaining team may choose to provide an answer. Correct answers count as 1 point; incorrect answers will result in a 1 point subtraction. At the end of the ten questions, the team with the most points is deemed to have won the match. In the event of a tie after the main round, there will be 3 further questions asked in a tie-breaker round. If there is still a tie, there will be a single question asked in a sudden death round until there is a clear winner. In the sudden death round, a correct answer must be given to win the game – there will be no points deducted for a wrong answer. The decisions of the judges are final with respect to which team rings in first and whether the answer given is close enough to the answer listed to be considered correct.

Tour Highlights • The IISD-ELA is an exceptional natural laborato- ry comprised of 58 small lakes and their watersheds set aside for scientific research. Located in a sparsely populated region of northwestern Ontario, Canada, it is one of the only places in the world where it is pos- sible to conduct experiments on whole ecosystems. By manipulating these small lakes, scientists are able to examine how all aspects of the ecosystem — from the atmosphere to fish populations — respond. Findings of real-world experiments are often much more ac- curate than those from research conducted at smaller scales, such as in laboratories. This unique research approach has influenced billion-dollar decisions of governments and industries. It has generated more cost effective environmental policies, regulations and management. • Additional Stop – Repeated Natural Fire Effects on Shallow soils

2K15085_GWF_Canadian Institute of Forestry AGM-ad v2.indd 1 2015-07-13 11:47 AM OUT WITH THE COAL. IN WITH THE NEW. In April, Ontario Power Generation marked one year since it burned its last piece of coal to make electricity. By successfully phasing out coal, OPG helped deliver the Province’s commitment to cleaner air. It also happens to be North America’s single largest climate change initiative and the equivalent of taking 7 million cars off the road. Today, OPG produces more than half of the electricity Ontario relies on every day, and 99.7 per cent of that power is free of smog and greenhouse gas emissions. And we’re keeping Ontario’s air clean by investing in renewable hydroelectric generation and by refurbishing the Darlington Nuclear station. We’ve also converted two of our coal stations to run on biomass – a renewable, plant-based fuel that’s better for the environment and good for Ontario’s economy. To learn more visit opg.com
