James Bay Frontier at a Glance
Visit the northern wilds of Ontario
in the James Bay Frontier region. Located in the northeast corner of Ontario,
the area's vast stretches of untamed land are filled with cliffs, canyons and
lakes, where boreal forests mix with tundra and muskeg resulting in a stark natural
beauty. Rich with wildlife, the area is known for both its fishing and hunting,
as well as for its polar bear and beluga whale viewing opportunities. In Timmins,
the region's largest city, visit the Shania
Twain Centre, a memorabilia museum dedicated to the homegrown country music
superstar or take an underground gold mine tour. When visiting Cochrane,
tour the Tim
Horton Museum which focuses on the history of the hockey player and his iconic
coffee and donut chain or swim with polar bears at the local conservation habitat.
See the entire region by train on the Polar
Bear Express as it travels north from Cochrane to Moosonee
at the edge of James Bay.
