privacy and relaxation you are looking for, look no further<br />

than the <strong>Highway</strong> <strong>105</strong> Region.<br />

The beauty of nature, the pleasure of time outdoors, the excitement of a<br />

across the still waters of a distant lake, the thrill of a fish on the line and the<br />

joy of the catch. The <strong>Highway</strong> <strong>105</strong> Region is all this and more!<br />

On <strong>Highway</strong> <strong>105</strong>, located in beautiful Northwestern Ontario, you are<br />

green forests. Hundreds of clear, sparkling fresh water lakes and endless<br />

tracts of pristine forests that continue for miles will create adventure<br />

opportunities to motivate the fishing and/or hunting enthusiast in you. The<br />

natural landscapes create breathtaking scenery, astonishing sunsets and<br />

dancing northern lights for memorable scenes you will not soon forget.<br />

A region where the beauty of the rugged and<br />

unspoiled wilderness can humble you, a place<br />

where being in the presence of natural habitat<br />

and breathtaking landscapes can rejuvenate your<br />

mind, body and spirit.<br />

DISCOVER<br />

A region rich in heritage, tradition and oldfashioned<br />

charm; a place surrounded by the<br />

mystery and spirit of Aboriginal culture, the<br />

legends and adventures of aviation & the triumph<br />

and development of the gold rush.<br />

APPRECIATE<br />

An area full of opportunity for you and your<br />

family; an area where mining continues to<br />

flourish, timber milling is seeing a resurgence<br />

and where the quality of life is prime. With ample<br />

housing, excellent education and an abundance of<br />

recreational and cultural facilities, this gem in the<br />

north could be your new home.

HUNTING<br />

Hunters travelling to our area will find a wide range of hunting opportunities. With many remote locations to choose from, you<br />

could find yourself hiking through some apparent untouched wilderness in search of the north’s majestic giants. It is known that our<br />

wilderness provides some of the best hunting for Black Bear and Moose in North America. In addition to these popular animals, hunters<br />

can enjoy opportunities for whitetail deer, small game, and duck and migratory bird hunting.<br />

WHITETAIL DEER<br />

Whitetail deer can be found throughout much of Ontario. Their range appears to be expanding<br />

northward over time. Abundant food makes almost any forested or bushy area suitable for deer,<br />

including parks and green spaces created by people. In winter, as snow deepens, deer concentrate<br />

in areas that provide food and shelter from deep snow. During the spring and summer, deer eat<br />

leafy material from woody plants, grasses and herbs. They also eat mushrooms and blueberries. In<br />

autumn and winter, deer depend largely on the twigs and buds that are within their reach. Acorns<br />

are a favourite autumn food for whitetail deer living in Northwestern Ontario.<br />

Size: 0.9 to 1.1 m (3.0-3.5 ft) Adult Buck: 45 to 136 kg (100-300 Ib) Adult Doe: 39 to 60 kg (85-130 Ib)<br />

MOOSE<br />

Moose are found across northern and central Ontario. They live near lakes, muskegs and streams<br />

of the boreal forest and on the northern tundra.<br />

Moose are the largest animal in Ontario. Large males (bulls) weigh up to 600 kilograms. Moose live<br />

on a diet of twigs, leaves, shrubs, upland plants and water plants. Moose tolerate cold very well but<br />

suffer from heat. In summer, especially during black fly season, moose often cool off in water for<br />

several hours each day. Moose are strong swimmers and can dive more than five metres in search<br />

of food on the bottom of the lake.<br />

Size: 1.5 to 1.8 m (5.5-6.0 ft) Bull: 400 to 545 kg (880-1,200 Ib) Cow: 375 to 535 kg (825-1,180 Ib)<br />

BLACK BEAR<br />

Black bears live throughout most of Ontario and prefer forested areas where they are best able<br />

to find food, refuge and den sites. When they are not hibernating, bears spend most of their<br />

time looking for food. In the summer, they eat berries such as blueberries, strawberries and<br />

raspberries. In the fall, they turn their attention to hazelnuts, mountain ash, acorns and beech<br />

nuts. While black bears will eat carrion, insects, fish, deer and moose calves, the bulk of their diet<br />

is made up of plants. They like to find lots of high energy food - like huge berry patches - that will<br />

help them fatten up fast. Their survival and ability to have young depends on them doubling their<br />

weight before winter hibernation. While black is the most common colour, brown and cinnamon<br />

phases also occur.<br />

Adult Female: 59 to 104 kg (130-230 Ib) Adult Male: 91 to 181 kg (200-400 Ib)<br />

Provincial<br />

Parks<br />

Woodland Caribou Provincial Park is<br />

one of the three participating wilderness<br />

parks in Northwest Ontario where<br />

visitors can complete a backcountry<br />

paddling quest and become eligible<br />

to win a brand new Souris River<br />

kevlar canoe or XY Company designer<br />

paddles. Find out more about the great<br />

Northwest Wilderness Quest at<br />

www.OntarioParks.com/nwquest.<br />

The Red Lake area is the “gateway” to<br />

Woodland Caribou Provincial Park. Known<br />

as a cultural landscape, at over 486,000<br />

hectares in size Woodland Caribou<br />

Provincial Park offers a vast roadless tract<br />

of uncut boreal forest protected within<br />

the system of Ontario’s Provincial Parks. It<br />

protects healthy functioning ecosystems,<br />

outstanding cultural landscapes and<br />

significant natural features including its<br />

namesake the secretive woodland caribou.<br />

To many outdoor travellers Woodland<br />

Caribou Provincial Park offers a giant<br />

playground. With approximately 2000<br />

kilometres of maintained canoe routes<br />

and 20 outpost camps and lodges you<br />

may experience everything from paddling<br />

quiet lakes and streams to the comforts of<br />

quality roofed accommodation. Solitude,<br />

unforgettable fishing for walleye,<br />

northern pike and lake trout and exquisite<br />

scenery are a mainstay of both types of<br />

experiences. Shutterbugs will enjoy the<br />

chance to capture local wildlife. Moose,<br />

caribou, beaver, bear, bald eagle, song<br />

and shorebirds are regularly seen. Lynx,<br />

wolverine and wolves may also make their<br />

presence known.<br />

The park also captures the headwaters<br />

of the Bloodvein River. Designated a<br />

Canadian Heritage River, the Bloodvein<br />

is celebrated for its cultural and historical<br />

importance. The river flows westward<br />

over 350 kilometers to eventually reach<br />

Lake Winnipeg in central Manitoba.<br />

REMOTE YET ACCESSIBLE<br />

Roadless yet accessible is a unique feature<br />

of Woodland Caribou. Park staff are<br />

available to provide general information<br />

to get you aquatinted with the park. Local<br />

outfitting services will help with your<br />

more detailed trip planning needs ranging<br />

from partial to complete outfitting, shuttle<br />

services to the parks road and water entry<br />

points and float plane access in or out of<br />

the parks interior.<br />

There is no greater experience in which to<br />

learn and discover Northwestern Ontario’s<br />

most precious natural resources.<br />

WHERE NATURE STILL RULES<br />

For all who plan to visit Woodland Caribou,<br />

be prepared to experience nature on<br />

its terms. Amidst its wildness you will<br />

witness rugged beauty and experience its<br />

powerful moods. Prepare to be humbled<br />

by towering cliffs or by a sudden summer<br />

storm as you scurry to shelter. Understand<br />

that the trails you share with others were<br />

laid out generations ago by the ancestors<br />

of the area’s First Nations. Observe the<br />

circle of life in the boreal forest by paying<br />

closer attention to the rich re-growth in<br />

the wake of a recent forest fire.<br />

Indulge your sense of adventure but<br />

remember to treat the area with respect.<br />

Soak it all in allowing your mind, body and<br />

spirit to be rejuvenated as far too soon<br />

the journey will end and you will draw<br />

upon your memories to sustain you until<br />

your next visit.<br />

RED LAKE<br />

AIRPORT<br />

The Red Lake Airport is a vital air transportation link<br />

for the Northwestern Ontario region. It is specifically<br />

vital for the transportation of goods and passengers<br />

along with providing airport facilities for itinerant<br />

aircraft servicing the Northern Communities of the<br />

Region. Tourism and the Mining Industry rely on<br />

the convenience of the Airport in connecting to the<br />

facilities in Winnipeg and Thunder Bay.<br />

The Airport offers the following aviation related<br />

activities and services; cargo, corporate and<br />

scheduled operations, aircraft maintenance and<br />

refurbishing, Medevac, Ministry of Natural Resources<br />

Forest Fire Management Base and fuelling services.<br />

The Red Lake Airport has seen consistent<br />

growth in passenger levels since the 2005<br />

level of 32,139 passengers to 36,577<br />

passengers in 2010. The air carriers that<br />

provide scheduled service are Superior<br />

Airways, Wasaya Airways, Bearskin Airlines<br />

and North Star Air; this is augmented by<br />

charter service from Superior Airways,<br />

Calm Air, Perimeter Airways and Goldcorp.<br />

Norseman Festival July 21-23, 2017<br />

Mark your calendars and plan a trip to<br />

the beautiful Red Lake District to join us<br />

in celebrating Canada’s 150 Anniversary<br />

and 25 years of the Norseman Floatplane<br />

Festival!<br />

Red Lake is proud to be known as the<br />

Norseman Capital of the World. The<br />

title shows respect for the Noorduyn<br />

Norseman, the “Original Canadian<br />

Bushplane”. This vintage aircraft was the<br />

first designed for flying in Canada’s north<br />

and included many “firsts” in airplane<br />

design. Over the last four decades, there<br />

have been more Norsemen flying in the<br />

Red Lake District than anywhere else;<br />

currently six are located in Red Lake.<br />

One of these is CF-DRD, displayed on<br />

a pedestal in Norseman Heritage Park,<br />

centrally located in Red Lake. The other<br />

five are fully-operational and can be seen<br />

operating out of Howey Bay during the<br />

summer months.<br />

Every July, Red Lake hosts the Norseman<br />

Floatplane Festival. Traditionally, this<br />

festival attracts aviation enthusiasts<br />

from around the world and introduces<br />

newcomers to the exciting and<br />

adventurous world of float plane flying.<br />

This 3-day festival is a combination of a<br />

good old fashioned family fun festival<br />

and an airshow, a combination that is<br />

guaranteed to provide enjoyment for all<br />

ages.<br />

In 2017, Norseman Festival is planning to<br />

provide a combination of our old favorites<br />

and the addition of more new and exciting<br />

activities. Building on the great success<br />

of 2016, this year’s festival is sure to be a<br />

crowd pleaser.<br />

In Red Lake, aviation remains a<br />

fundamental part of the local economy.<br />

With several commercial airlines operating<br />

out of Howey Bay, visitors are certain to<br />

see Norseman, Beaver, Otter, Cessna and<br />

a variety of other float aircrafts. These<br />

aircrafts today are largely used for tourism<br />

carrying anglers, canoeists and hunters to<br />

remote lodges and outposts. Numerous<br />

area residents also own and fly their own<br />

aircraft for recreational purposes.<br />

we have the ability to impact and influence the local and regional<br />

economies around our sites. This is why we are working to create<br />

sustainable value – long-term social and economic benefits that do<br />

not leave a legacy of dependence. Our approach is multifaceted,<br />

embedded in our new CSR strategy, and incorporates: local hiring<br />

and procurement initiatives, including training and capacity<br />

building; direct community contributions through donations and<br />

investments; and infrastructure investment. We also contribute<br />

through the payment of taxes and royalties to various levels of<br />

government in the communities and regions where we operate.<br />

Some of Red Lake’s Community Relations contributions include:<br />

• Formal Collaboration Agreements with Wabauskang and<br />

Lac Seul First Nations provide a framework that strengthens<br />

collaboration in the development and operation of Red Lake<br />

Gold Mines.<br />

• Goldcorp donated $5 million to the Municipality of Red Lake<br />

towards the construction of a new Red Lake Medical Clinic,<br />

opened in 2015. This new facility is paramount to the attraction<br />

and retention of medical professionals to the Red Lake area,<br />

to better serve over 5,000 residents including those from<br />

surrounding communities.<br />

• Goldcorp contributed $3 million towards developing a 54 lot<br />

residential subdivision that is currently being transferred to the<br />

Municipality of Red Lake.<br />

• In 2014, Goldcorp committed $605,000 over two years to the<br />

Heart and Stroke Foundation to support stroke awareness,<br />

professional development, and Telestroke preparedness and<br />

integration activities, focused on our Canadian operations,<br />

including Red Lake and its surrounding communities.<br />

• A variety of donations and sponsorships to local organizations<br />

including the Red Lake Margaret Cochenour Hospital<br />

Foundation, Red Lake Area Emergency Shelter, Wilderness<br />

Entertainment Series, Colours of Hope Run for Cancer,<br />

Norseman Day Festival, district schools’ and community sports,<br />

and English River Miners hockey team to name a few.<br />

• Red Lake Gold Mines supported the Red Lake Scout Group’s<br />

fourth annual tree planting event on the mine’s property to<br />

promote and educate local youth about rehabilitation. The<br />

company’s environmental vision of Our Planet, Our Choices,<br />

Our Legacy, outlines our belief that we each have a part to play<br />

in maintaining the environment.<br />

Red Lake Gold Mines also contributes to a number of programs and<br />

events aimed at supporting youth in Red Lake and its surrounding<br />

communities. Examples of this include the Mining Matters Mining<br />

Rocks Earth Science Program - an exciting educational experience<br />

tailored to the unique needs of the community. In 2016, Red<br />

Lake Gold Mines also hosted a one-week Mining Rocks Program<br />

aimed at educating elementary school students, teachers and<br />

community members about the mining cycle, rocks, minerals and<br />

many aspects of mining including rehabilitation.<br />
