NORSHORE SENTINEL â€" THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1960 5 THE NORTH SHORE IS ON THE MOVE By ALEXANDER PHILLIPS General Manager Northwestern Ontario Development Association Its southern boundary is the north shore of Lake Superior, the top step of the new stairway to the sea. Its northern border is the Albany River emptying into the tidewaters of James Bay. In between, the 25,000-square-mile region of East Thunder Bay District is one of Canada's richest in natural resources and strongest in development potential. Indeed, in little more than a decade the north shore and the interior area have become a significant segment of the economy of Northwestern Ontario, annually producing tens of millions of dollars in new wealth from the forest and mineral resources of the region. From Nipigon to Nakina and Dorion to Marathon, this important area has blossomed forth with a dozen fine communities. Their collective population exceeds 20,000. They have a total taxable assessment approximating $32 million. They are served by more than 400 miles of streets and municipal roads. Though the raw frontier lies at their doors, they possess the facilities and amenities of modern living while several are model communities of advanced planning. MAJOR INDUSTRY The economy of the region of East Thunder Bay District is supported and sustained by three major pulp and paper plants, two gold mines, two copper-zinc producers, hydro power and natural gas developments, diversified woods operations and other enterprises. In the making are iron ore mines and in prospect are other natural resource developments. Partners in the progress of the region are companies that loom large in the industrial nomenclature of Canada and the United States â€" Marathon Corporation, Anaconda, Kimberly-Clark, Geco, St. Lawrence Corporation, McLeod-Cockshutt, Leitch and Willroy.

The Geraldton division of the Lands and Forests Department of Ontario is now the largest wood-producing section in the province with 800,000 cords scheduled for harvesting in 1960-61. Soon the north shore will be traversed by the Lake Superior link of the Trans-Canada Highway, directly connecting the area with the populous East. It will lop hundreds of miles from the highway transport network. Roads are lifelines of development and progress. The new Trans-Canada link should attract new business,1 and growth to the north shoreâ€" and tremendously stimulate the tourist industry. To the south are myriad millions, Canadians and Americans, who never have viewed the exciting vistas and panoramas of the north shore country. The Lake Superior International Highway Association that includes north shore communities in its membership already is energetically promoting the attractions of the region.
