Chapleau

Chapleau is located in the heart of northern Ontario, an almost sacred place where, according to the natives, the gods had divided the waters equally between the northern tribes, making them flow on one side to Hudson Bay and on the other to the great Lake Superior. In 1885, the Canadian Pacific was created for trade between the north and the south. The forestry industry came to extract wood from its forests, which was more easily shipped by rail. Today, the region's economic activity is less intense and people are turning to their wildlife reserve, the largest in the world, to find a new balance.
