    Kettle Lakes Provincial Park is a provincial park in north-eastern Ontario, about 30 kilometres east of Timmins. It is administered by Ontario Parks, which classifies it as a recreation park.

    Cobalt is a town in the district of Timiskaming, in the province of Ontario, Canada, with a population of 1,118 according to the Canada 2016 Census. In the early 1900s, the area was heavily mined for silver; the silver ore also contained cobalt. By 1910, the community was the fourth highest producer of silver in the world. Mining declined significantly by the 1930s, together with the local population.
