Great site!
I lived on an island on Lake Temagami growing up [1971 - 1982]. I went to the Temagami Public school and then high school in New Liskeard.
My Dad [John Johnston] looked after a kids camp on Temagami Island called Wabikon. I may still have some pictures from that era kicking around if your interested.

I clearly remeber starting from Toronto and taking the Ontario Northland train to Temagami station, and then boarding the Aubrey Cosens an exciting boat ride for a very young camper in 53 and as a councillor in 63 at Camp Temagami. It is an experience few will have in their lifetime in an area of our country that to this day gives you a true feeling of how remote and yet so beautiful our north can be. To that end I am getting ready to produce a film about camps in the area, camping, canoe trips, the lake, the town. I would be very interested in hearing from anyone who has experienced Camp Temagami or Metagami or Keewaydin.

Great site. Glad to get the redirect. We're looking forward to another quick visit in late Dec. We stay at Northland Paradise and have for the last few winters and spend our visits in summer at the park. We keep coming back to re energize and we're needing it now.
Thanks again

I don't know who the person was who sent me this site, but I am enjoying the memories more than you will ever know. I have not been north for many years because I can no longer travel. I lived in Marten River the last 6 years I was north. My family had a cottage on Big Marten since 1953 where we spent every summer. We always went into Temagami for shopping and to take guests out for a meal and sightseeing - or to grab a ride on the plane - sometimes just to get a change of fishing experience. My children still get up for their yearly holidays and could not ask for more. God's country for sure.
Thank you, whomever it was that sent the site.

Consider Elk Lake to be my home even though I moved in grade 10. Temagami was always my summer home as My folks used to send me to Camp Temagami every summer. Understand an old friend of mine used to own Dad's[Philip K] who is now building a home on Bear Island. Tell him the Grey Owl thing has already been done.
Would like to hear from him so please pass the message along.

We have been driving through the town of Temagami for over 25 years on our trips from Hearst to London and it is always a highlight of the trip to drive trough Tems [as we call it]. When my brother and I were younger we were hooked on the house boats, and my parents spent their first weekend at the Temagami Shores this past weekend and enjoyed it so much - they are trying to encourage me and my fiancee to have our wedding there! Coming from Northern Ontario we understand the struggles that Northern communities face and are always interested in history and the lore of these places. No doubt Temagami will continue to be a highlight of our long trips for years to come!

Came across your site, very interesting,being related to family from the Lake, it nice to look back at some of the vintage photos thru the times. We come 'home' every year at least 2-3 times to visit. My husband came across a vintage Temagami map/lake brochure from the early 1900's, some of the pictures are similar as you have posted. The town has gone thru alot of changes in the last 35 years but still holds on to its natural beauty any way you look at it. Peace and Tranquility
