Synopsis

For many Canadians, Nipigon is remembered for the disastrous fate of the $106 million bridge, which closed soon after its opening, bringing weeks of gridlock to the Trans-Canada Highway. However, the town’s reputation had already suffered a blow a decade prior when its plywood mill, the region's economic heart, was destroyed by fire. Now, this former mill town promotes itself as possessing a distinct natural character, highlighting its exceptional hiking, climbing, and fishing opportunities.
