Northeastern Manitoulin and the Islands

Few communities in Ontario have a history as closely tied to Manitoulin Island’s mainland connection as Northeastern Manitoulin and the Islands. The municipality occupies the island’s northeastern shore and nearby islands beside the North Channel of Lake Huron, the waterway separating Manitoulin from the Ontario mainland. Little Current is its principal settlement and the site of the Little Current Swing Bridge, a 1913 structure carrying Highway 6 across the channel; its movable span still opens for passing vessels. Manitoulin Island has long been home to Anishinaabe communities, an essential part of the area’s identity.
