The Great White North ...
Outdoor
recreation is popular in the region year-round. In summer, fishing, boating,
canoeing, ATVing, and camping are enjoyed by residents. Hunting remains popular
in autumn, especially for moose, whitetail deer, and grouse, although goose
hunting is exceptionally popular near James Bay. Group hunting for moose is a
favourite social outing. In winter, snowmobiling, ice fishing, outdoor shinny,
cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing are popular activities. The region boasts
extensive snowmobiling trails and many lakes are dotted with ice hut villages
throughout the winter. Although many sports are played in the region, ice
hockey and curling are the most popular. Almost every community is home to both
a hockey and curling rink. In fact, Northern Ontario is the only provincial or
territorial sub-region in Canada that sends its own team to the Brier
separately from its province. Hockey is often played on artificial outdoor
rinks, and sometimes on frozen lakes ... The Great White North, life doesn't get any better than this !!
