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.
Michipicoten, 1897
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
Neys Provincial Park
Neys Provincial Park is all about the beach. Neys is right on the shore of Lake Superior and has more than a mile of sandy beach riddled with copious amounts of driftwood. What a great place to unwind!
We have camped at Neys many times and in August of 2016 we stayed there for five nights. The family had some good times and I got to play with my cameras and canoe (but that's a different video
The video and the time-lapse were taken with my Fuji XP80 action camera. A few of the still shots (the good ones) were taken with my old SLR camera, Nikon D70.

CHELTENHAM BADLANDS - Caledon, Ontario
Visiting the Cheltenham Badlands on a rainy day in Caledon, Ontario, Canada. One of the joys we've discovered traveling abroad is that we don't often have to go far to find adventure. With this mindset, we set off from our temporary home in Brampton, Ontario to visit the Cheltenham Badlands located in Caledon, Ontario, Canada. Merely a fifteen to twenty minute drive, we passed through rural farmland and marveled at the fact it only takes a few minutes to escape suburbia.

Given that it was overcast and rainy, the Badlands weren't nearly as crowded as they normally would be on a sunny summer day. Taking advantage of this we had the whole place to ourselves after two girls, who were ahead of us, quickly finished exploring on foot.
What is fascinating about the Badlands is that they are the result of a farming mishap. Given poor farming practices in the 1930s caused the soil to erode and eventually be exposed to the underlying shale. Its trademark red color is due to iron oxide deposits. It was only recently purchased by the Ontario Heritage Foundation (2000) located along the Niagra Escarpment and Bruce Trail.
If you're looking to visit, the Cheltenham Badlands are located on the south east section of Olde Base Line Road, which is nearby Chinguacousy Roads.
Today we are taking a little bit of a road trip. We've been staying in Brampton where my family lives and there is a really cool place that is called the Cheltenham Badlands about fifteen or twenty minutes north of my town. We're just driving over there, driving through the countryside and it is a bit of rainy day but we've got our umbrellas and it is going to be a fun little adventure. Let's go!
Here we are. We have arrived at the Cheltenham Badlands and it is really cool. The earth is so red and rich here. It just looks like you've set foot in Mars or maybe even Australia. This place is actually located on Olde Baseline just off of Chinguacousy road, which is north of Brampton if you're thinking of visiting.
Easily one of the coolest things about being back in Canada is that you don't have to go far to get out in nature. We're staying in the suburbs now and it just took like a fifteen or twenty minute drive to get out to here. We're passing through farmland, through fields and we saw all kinds of things along the way.
Today the hills are looking a bit of a brownish red because of all of the rain we've had recently; however, if you come on a sunny day it is actually a lot more orange and reddish in color. It kind of looks cooler on a better day but you also get more people here so you have to compete for a good spot.
We've got the whole place to ourselves! Hahaha!
The Badlands don't actually make up a massive area over here but there are a few little trails that you can walk down so it is nice for an afternoon if you feel like going for a bit of a hike or just getting out of the city. Just getting out of the house is nice.
And it is starting to pour so we're leaving now. That is the end of the adventure. Bye.
We're retreating to the car.
Did we bring an umbrella just to leave it in the car? Yep. We did. We did.
The site is located on the south east side of Olde Base Line Road, between Creditview and Chinguacousy Roads, west of Highway 10 in Caledon, and features exposed and eroded Queenston Shale. The formation is located along the Niagara Escarpment.
The formation was exposed by poor farming practices in the 1930s that led to soil erosion and exposed the underlying shale.[1]

Canada Road Trip Vlog | Driving from Ontario to British Columbia
Join us for an epic Canada Road Trip in this vlog as we highlight our journey driving from the Ontario to British Columbia as a family traveling with a dog. As one of our last major trips of 2018 it was an incredible opportunity to travel with Audrey's family and Togo the German Shepherd across Canada. Basically we all piled into a van and drove roughly 9 to 12 hours per day over 4 days to arrive in Alberta before spending a couple of nights with a family friend before making the brief crossing over to British Columbia. Overall, our journey looked like this:
Day 1 Driving in Ontario and staying overnight in a cabin
Day 2 Once again driving in Ontario and staying overnight in a cabin
Day 3 Driving out of Ontario crossing through Manitoba and staying overnight in Saskatchewan in an airbnb
Day 4 Driving from Saskatchewan in to Alberta and staying overnight with a friend
Day 5 Exploring Alberta (which we'll show in another video) and staying overnight with a friend
Day 6 Crossing from Alberta to British Columbia
Basically if you're looking to do a road trip like this across Canada you can make it from Ontario to British Columbia in four busy days or a more comfortable 5 days.

Canada Road Trip Vlog | Driving from Ontario to British Columbia Travel Video Transcript:
So here we have Togo he jumped in the car. He is ready for his road trip. Ready to see all of Canada. He looks so happy.
Well, good morning good morning. Good morning guys. We are kicking off this road trip. It is happening. It is happening. The plan. I feel like we haven't really explained it. We came up with the idea to do this last minute road trip with my family. With my parents with the dog. We're going to be driving from Ontario to BC. Yeah, British Columbia for those who don't know. Haha. British Columbia. Sam's home province. I haven't been there in over 10 years I'm so excited to go back. It is going to be fun. I've never been there before. It is going to be 4 days of driving to get there. We're going to show you guys the road trip and then once we get to BC we're going to be doing lots of hiking, visiting lakes, mountains, nature. It is going to be a good time and then on the way back we're planning to travel via the US if we can get across the boarder with this dog.
We want to hit the road. We've got three provinces in one day. It is very exciting. Want to name them all? We're leaving Ontario. We're going to Manitoba and then we're finishing off in Saskatchewan. We've got a lot of driving.
We are getting close to Regina. We like blasted through Manitoba. It took us two and half days to get through Ontario and just a few hours to get through Manitoba. Flat roads the whole way and yeah the scenery didn't really change. Like we started off with a little bit of forest as we crossed through Ontario into Manitoba and then it became flat like a pancake and it was mostly like farmland so it was a completely different change of scenery.
We are going to be continuing the road trip out to BC (British Columbia) so like yesterday we did a little bit of sightseeing around Alberta but now we're going to finish off strong so we have about three hours left to drive over across the Rockies.
I think we can say welcome to home sweet home. Where are we? Welcome to my home province of British Columbia guys. This is my first time in Invermere. It looks like a beautiful town and we're going to show you the house that we're staying in. This is going to be our little base as we explore BC and Alberta. The Rockies. But before we do that I've just got to show you how big the property is.
This is part of our Travel in Canada video series showcasing Canadian food, Canadian culture and Canadian cuisine.
