Algonquin Provincial Park Best Places to Visit in Algonquin Provincial Park
The essence of Algonquin is in its vast interior of maple hills, rocky ridges, and thousands of lakes. The only way to explore the interior of this park is by canoe or on foot. There is also a second Algonquin - along the 56 kilometre stretch of Highway 60. Here you can enjoy camping at one of eight campgrounds, hike one of 14 trails, take part in extensive Natural Heritage Education programs, and visit Algonquin’s exceptional Visitor Centre, Logging Museum and Art Centre. For over 50 years, each Thursday in August, park staff have offered the “Public Wolf Howl”, a highly engaging program on wolf ecology that includes howling for wolves. Weather and wildlife dependent. Check for details on park events.Algonquin Provincial Park straddles the transition zone between the northern boreal forest and the southern deciduous forest, making for a unique and diversified landscape. It’s home to over 750 miles of rivers and more than 1,500 lakes spread out across 2,955 square miles of the Canadian Shield. Seeing every water body in the park would take a lifetime. If you don’t have a lifetime to spend in the park, consider visiting these lakes first. Look at any map of Algonquin Provincial Park and you can’t help but notice the huge lake located in the south-central section of the park. It is easily accessed by car and motorboats are allowed, so it has the potential to be busy and less serene than the interior lakes. What it lacks in remoteness, however, it more than makes up for in beauty and variety. Opeongo is so vast that it is possible to find a private spot, especially outside of the weekends or any time during the spring and fall. There are over 100 campsites to choose from and they include some of the best in the park. Whiskey Jack Lake is one of the jewels of Algonquin Provincial Park. Located far in the interior, it is at least 11 hours of paddling from the nearest access point: Cedar Lake. It’s what’s known as a green headwater lake, a spring-fed body of water that is clear and green-tinged (compared to the tannin-stained lakes found at lower elevations in the area). The landscape is stunning, and the five available campsites are beautiful.

Greater Sudbury
Greater Sudbury (2011 census population 160,274) is a city in Ontario, Canada, which was founded following the discovery of nickel ore by Tom Flanagan, a Canadian Pacific Railway blacksmith in 1883, when the transcontinental railway was near completion. Greater Sudbury was formed in 2001 by merging the cities and towns of the former Regional Municipality of Sudbury with several previously unincorporated geographic townships. It is the largest city in Northern Ontario by population and the 24th largest metropolitan area in Canada. By land area, it is the largest city in Ontario and the seventh largest municipality by area in Canada. Sudbury, as it is commonly known, is administratively separate and thus not part of any district, county, or regional municipality.
Sudbury has a humid continental climate with warm and often hot summers and long, cold, snowy winters. The population resides in an urban core and many smaller communities scattered around 300 lakes and among hills of rock blackened by historical smelting activity. Sudbury was once a major lumber centre and a world leader in nickel mining. Mining and related industries dominated the economy for much of the 20th century. The two major mining companies which shaped the history of Sudbury were Inco, now Vale, which employed more than 25% of the population by the 1970s, and Falconbridge, now Glencore Xstrata. Sudbury has since expanded from its resource-based economy to emerge as the major retail, economic, health and educational centre for Northeastern Ontario. Sudbury is also home to a large Franco-Ontarian population that influences its arts and culture.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
