The clear, clean fresh air and tons of things shoot a series of segments for our digital platforms, catching fish to do and see make for some of finest vacations in Northern is the number one priority. Ontario. This region has world class fishing for both bass and walleye that keeps us coming back year after year. This region is Simply going fishing for the sake of going fishing is really not a home to so many species of fish, it would virtually take years to big consideration when it comes to ensuring we get the video explore all that is available from every kind of trout and salmon footage we need to keep putting bread on the table at home and to all of the favourite fresh water species such as northern pike, keeping our partners happy with exciting, action packed shows whitefish, yellow perch and much more. The opportunities are that inspire our audiences. I need to catch fish, period. astounding. When it comes down to choosing a Northern Ontario location Since my very first visit to Algoma Country six years ago, I have that we can rely on to provide all kinds of fish catching, action- never been disappointed in our success rates in terms of size packed video, regardless if its spring, summer or fall, that region and numbers of bass and walleye this region has produced is Algoma Country. With no disrespect to other southern and for us while filming shows, or just visiting with friends or fishing northern regions that offer excellent angling opportunities, it is vacations with the boys. Algoma also boasts a variety of the Algoma experience that brings us back all season long, year angling challenges whether you want an easy drive-to location, after year. a wilderness fly-in adventure, a remote lodge island with not 7 2020 ALGOMA TRAVEL GUIDE another soul in sight or some of the world’s finest fishing for trophy brook trout and salmon. The opportunities are endless. Some of the finest smallmouth bass fishing of my entire life has occurred in Algoma Country. Days with multiple six-plus pound bass are in the double digits. Trips with over one hundred bass caught and released are the norm. The walleye fishing is a huge attraction for visitors in the U.S. Catching a shore lunch limit of “eaters” is the norm rather than exception in Algoma with many lakes and river systems producing trophy sized walleye over the thirty-inch range on a weekly basis. Practicing responsible catch and release or harvest is the key to keeping these fisheries world class for generations to come. Algoma has an abundance of quality lodge operators who specialize in offering these world class fisheries for both bass and walleye to a world-wide audience, its simply up to you where you want to go and how adventurous you want it to be. As for the best times and techniques to catch these higher sought-after bass and walleye, I would suggest reviewing the areas you wish to plan your trip or vacation, talk to the lodge operators in that region by email or phone and ask them when is best for them as some locations can be different than others based on the size of the lakes or river systems, water temperatures and clarity. Spring is usually prime time and the bookings fill up fast, so early birds usually get the worm or reservations. Summer can provide excellent fishing for bass and somewhat limited times to early and late in the day for walleye, again, based on the location you choose. Fall is again prime for both species putting on the feed bag for the cold season ahead. Stories of non-stop action from sunrise to sunset are not rumor, I have personally experienced it myself. If I had to choose a certain number of artificial baits and techniques for Algoma smallmouth bass it would consist of topwater baits that make lots of noise, soft plastic baits such as tube jigs, stick worms and drop shot baits for those deep-water trophies. Loud rattle crankbaits and jerk baits would round out my picks for bass. As for walleye, a lot of operators and guides utilize the slow troll or drift presentation for walleye with blade and bead spinner rigs with either nightcrawlers or minnows. Ball head jigs with curly tail grubs are also popular as is a plain jig head in pink, chartreuse or purple with live bait is hard to beat for deep water walleyes across Algoma. Whether you fish for bass, walleye or any other species that calls Algoma home, remember what I said earlier, because of my choice of career and livelihood, I can virtually fish anywhere in North America I wish, and I still return to Algoma Country, year after year, season after season.

    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report August 20, 2020 Quotation of the day “They demanded — under duress — that we stop supporting Belinda [Karahalios]. We are appalled at this bullying and abuse ​ ​ ​ of power. It is a direct attack on our democracy!” The now-derecognized PC riding association in Cambridge sends out flyers attacking Premier Doug Ford and the PC Party over alleged "intimidation tactics." ​ Today at Queen’s Park Written by Sabrina Nanji On the schedule The house reconvenes on Monday, September 14. The roster for the Select Committee on Emergency Management Oversight — which will scrutinize ongoing extensions of emergency orders via Bill 195 — has been named. The ​ ​ majority-enjoying PC side will feature Bob Bailey, Christine Hogarth, Daryl Kramp, Robin ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Martin, Sam Oosterhoff, Lindsey Park and Effie Triantafilopoulos. The New Democrat ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ members are Gilles Bisson, Sara Singh and Tom Rakocevic; Liberal MPP John Fraser will ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ take up the Independent spot. The committee was struck as an accountability measure because the PCs empowered themselves to amend or extend the emergency orders for up to the next two years, without requiring a vote or debate in the legislature. Bill 195, the enabling law, also requires the premier ​ ​ or a designate of his choosing to appear at the special committee to justify any changes to the sweeping emergency orders. Premier watch An RFP for the next leg of the Eglinton Crosstown tunnelling project will be issued today. Premier Doug Ford announced the move in Mississauga Tuesday alongside cabinet’s ​ ​ transportation overseers Caroline Mulroney and Kinga Surma. ​ ​ ​ ​ Three construction consortiums have already been shortlisted and are now able to present their detailed costing plans to Infrastructure Ontario.

Friday June 5 COVID-19 Update Dear neighbour, Toronto demonstrated its incredible solidarity this weekend as thousands marched with the family of Regis Korchinski-Paquet to demand answers and accountability for her death. Thank you to everyone who has also reached out to me and my office. I hear your grief, your anger and your demands for action. I fully endorse the letter sent by my colleagues, MPP Bhutila Karpoche and MPP Laura Mae Lindo to the Solicitor General, demanding a full, independent and urgent investigation into Regis' death. I was dismayed this week when Premier Ford tried to claim that Canada doesn't have 'deep roots' of systemic racism. Thank you to my colleague MPP Jill Andrews for responding powerfully in the legislature to Ford’s harmful comment. Our work must include making systemic change to end anti-Black racism in our institutions, including in policing. I pledge to be a part of this work. Please contact my office if you have questions or concerns, if you have petitions you want me to read out at Queen’s Park, or if you want to organize with us so we can use this pandemic to build a new normal.

Two 6 claim units were staked November 17 and 18, 2001. Following a declaration from the mining recorder to extend the claim block to enclose the full one square kilometre available in Leclaire township in Sault Ste Marie district, claim map G2782. Mineral claim staking in this township was originally under the control of Algoma Central Railway and subsequently by Wagner Forest Services except for a few claim blocks that predated the ACR agreement.

Port Arthur, Ontario December l, 1958. : -© O - r\. # ;©-V SUMMARY The Upper Magpie River Acea includes the south easterly section of a belt of northeasterly trending volcanic and sedimentary rooks of early Precambrian age. This belt in general occupies the drainage basin of the Kabinakagami River* The area lies some 30 miles northeasterly from White River, Ontario. Volcanic agglomerates are enclosed by inter- banded flows and tuffs which are in turn flanked by sedimentary quartz-biotile gneisses. Oranite gneiss bounds these rooks *.o the southeast and southwest. Within the central and southeasterly portion of the map area all members have been folded into a steeply plunging syncline with axial plane trend ing southeasterly such that it protrudes from the main belt. Two complementary fault planes striking northeast and northwest intersect near the centre of the area. Both show horizontal displacement. A fsw minor occurrences of metallic mineralization were found bat none w.*s indicative of economic possibilities. t*i*©..:--VJi©5&-© 1.. **©.-©-." fclfr-©v GEOLOGY OF THE UPPER MAGPIE RIVER AREA ALGOMA DISTRICT, ONTARIO LOCATION AM) ACCESS The Upper Magpie River Area lies some 30 miles northeast of White River station on the Canadian Pacific Railway from where it is most readily reached by air transportation.
