Wawa is a township in the Canadian province of Ontario, located within the Algoma District and associated with Wawa Lake. Formerly known as the township of Michipicoten, after a nearby river of that name, the township was officially renamed in 2007 for its largest and best-known community of Wawa.[3]
This area was first developed for fur trading. In the late 19th century, both gold and iron ore were found and mined, leading to the region's rise as the steel industry developed in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. From 1900-1918 the Helen Mine had the highest production of iron ore of any mine in Canada.
The township includes the smaller communities of Michipicoten and Michipicoten River, which are small port settlements on the shore of Lake Superior. These names are derived from the Ojibwe term for the river.Fur trade days[edit]
Fort Michipicoten was constructed at the mouth of the Michipicoten River. It was at the junction of the main fur trade route from Montreal westward and the route to James Bay via the Missinaibi River. The town developed five miles upriver from here.

Community of Michipicoten River
French explorers reached the area by at least 1681, and militia built the post in either 1725 or 1727.[4] By 1729, it was an outpost of Fort Kaministiquia in Vérendrye's Postes du Nord. The site was on the south bank of the river, opposite the mouth of the Magpie River. When the British conquered Canada in 1763, this post was abandoned.
Four years later, it was re-opened on the same site by fur traders Alexander Henry the elder and Jean Baptiste Cadotte. The route from James Bay was explored by Edward Jarvis (1775) and Philip Turnor (1781). In 1783, it was taken over by the North West Company, based in Montreal. In 1797, the Hudson's Bay Company built a rival post on the north bank.
With the union of the two companies in 1821, the Lake Superior trade was diverted from Montreal to Hudson Bay via Michipicoten. This lasted until 1863, when the arrival of steamboats and railways made it unnecessary. From 1827, the fort was the headquarters of the Superior Division, and several annual meetings were held here. It was a centre for fishing, boat-building and small-scale manufacture and repair. It also served as a base for missionaries and surveyors. It was closed in 1904 and gradually taken apart. By 1980 the site held little more than a grassy clearing, some foundation stones, and the remains of the dock.[5][6]
Modern[edit]
Wawa's history is rich in mining, forestry, and the fur trade. Mining attempts began as early as the late 1660s.
William Teddy discovered gold on Wawa Lake in 1897. The population of Wawa village quickly grew with 1,700 claims staked in 1898. However, most gold production stopped by 1906. Beginning in 1914 with the completion of the Algoma Central Railway, gold production commenced again from 22 prospects.[7]
In 1898, the town site at what is now called the Mission was registered as Michipicoten City. In 1899, Wawa was surveyed and plotted as a town and registered as Wawa City. In the latter half of the 1950s, the town's name was temporarily changed to Jamestown in honour of Sir James Hamet Dunn, but it was later returned to Wawa at the request of the community's residents.
Gold production had slowed by 1906, but as mining technology improved, additional amounts began to be extracted from the area. Gold mining in the Wawa area prospered and receded several times in the 20th century, a

Wawa, Ontario is a community in Northern Ontario, Canada, located in Michipicoten Township in the Algoma District. The community is known for its 28-foot-tall metal statue of a Canada goose, built in 1963. Wawa takes its name from the Ojibwe word for wild goose, wewe.
The community is located on Highway 101, just a few kilometres east of the junction with Highway 17. Sault Ste. Marie is located approximately 220 km south. Lake Superior Provincial Park is located just south of Wawa.
Wawa's history is rich in mining, forestry and the fur trade. Although mining attempts began as early as the late 1660's, it wasn't until 1897, gold was discovered on nearby Wawa Lake which led to a rush to the area. The population grew from a handful of people to approximately a thousand people.
In 1898 the town site at the Mission was registered as Michipicoten City. In 1899 Wawa was surveyed and plotted into a town and registered as Wawa City.
Production had slowed by 1906 but as mining technology improved, additional amounts began to be extracted from the area. Gold mining in the Wawa area prospered and receded several times in the 20th century and continues today.
Iron ore extraction has also been an important industry in the area. The community was served by the Algoma Central Railway.
The search for the elusive precious yellow stone during the Michipicoten gold boom led to the unexpected discovery of iron ore in 1897. Rock samples made their way into the hands of Francis Hector Clergue, an American entrepreneur who at once recognized the ore for its potential in the form of a steel company in the industrial future of Sault Ste. Marie.

THE WAWA GOOSE AND CANADA?
The WAWA GOOSE is located in WAWA, ONTARIO, on the TRANS CANADA HIGHWAY on the north shore of Lake Superior five hours east of Thunder Bay - two hours west of Sault St. Marie. The town of WAWA is looking for donations to raise $500,000 to restore THE WAWA GOOSE which is made out of thousands of pounds of steel and is rusting very badly! If you Google WAWA GOOSE WEBCAM you will find a link which will allow you to stare at this world famous statue of a CANADA GOOSE live while you are at work when you want the boss to think that your working but are actually planning and contemplating your vacation to visit it! I highly recommend driving through this scenic part of CANADA and recommend staying at the WAWA MOTOR INN at 118 Mission Road in WAWA (705 856 2278) which has an excellent dining room with a wood burning fireplace, and great food!
The word and name of CANADA is a FIRST NATIONS IRIQUOIAN word actually when spelled properly is KANATA - which means VILLAGE! This raises the real question: Will the rest of us who are not members of any FIRST NATIONS BAND who immigrated to this place and displaced so many of them ever really know our own history or what the hell we are talking about when we still haven't learned how to properly spell the word KANATA the name of our country and don't even know what the word actually means?

Day 5 Regina - Calgary
Depart from Regina to Calgary. Arrived in Calgary in the afternoon. Checked out the downtown core and climbed McHugh Bluff stairs. Got some smoked Alberta BBQ beef brisket for dinner at a local restaurant. Stayed overnight at a Calgary hotel.
Day 6a Calgary - Banff - Lake Louise
Departed Calgary in the morning and headed to Banff National Park to stop at “The Jewel of Rockies” - Lake Louise. Amazing views of the lake as you walked along it. Later we took the lake cruise Minnewanka and got a treat in seeing a family of bears near the water.
Day 6b Calgary - Banff - Lake Louise
After we took Banff Gondola ride up to the Sulphur Mountain and enjoy the panoramic view of Banff and Lake Minnewanka. Then visit the picturesque bow falls- venue of the famous movie “River of No Return”. Had dinner in Town of Banff and headed to Canmore for overnight stay at a hotel. Day 6 was definitely the best day for attractions.
Day 7 Jasper - Columbia Ice field – Glacier Skywalk – Salmon Arm
In the morning visited Jasper National Park. Made a quick stop at Bow Lake. Then headed to Columbia Ice Field, the largest ice mass in the Rocky Mountains. Transferred by the big-wheeled “Snow Coach” for a closer look at more than 300 meters deep Athabasca Glacier.

After lunch, stopped by Peyto Lake and then traveled through the Rocky Mountains and Yoho National Park. Final stop was at Salmon Arm where our hotel was at and then headed downtown for dinner at an Indian restaurant.
Day 9 Stawamus Chief - All three peaks
Had great memories hiking around Vancouver a long time ago and was super excited to do one during my recent short stay in Vancouver. Found a meetup group that organized a hike to Stawamus Chief. Listed for intermediate hikers, this hike was more difficult than I originally thought. It required you to hike up and down very steep slopes, walk on jagged slippery rocks and climb up and down big boulders using metal chains and rusty ladders. Though it was dangerous and tiring; it was very rewarding in the end with great views of the area and great memories.
Day 8-12 Vancouver
Headed to our final destination which was Vancouver. Decided to stay a few more days to enjoy the city a little bit longer. Visited many popular locations such as Stanley Park, Gastown steam clock, McArthurGlen Designer Outlet, Lonsdale Quay, downtown Chinatown, Queen Elizabeth Park, Granville Island, Vancouver Waterfront, and Sunset Beach Park. As well as tried out some of Vancouver's delicious food at Japadog, Ryuu Japanese Kitchen, Lonsdale Quay Market, Ba Le Sandwich, Tako, Wak Wak burger, and Miku. There are many great places I didn't have time to visit and lots of food on my must eat list I haven't tried. Will be back again in a few years to cross those off.

Little Wawa - Performed by Whiskey Jack
Stompin' Tom's salute to the town of Wawa performed here by Canadian band Whiskey Jack, one of Tom's favourite back up bands. Lead vocal by Soo native, Duncan Fremlin. This song is particularly important because the statue at that has been at the gate of the town for many decades is in dire need of repair. Perhaps this recording will trigger more donations to the fund set up to repair it. To donate, go to
