Terrace Bay Township: Highway 17 at Hydro Road North, Looking Down
North Bay is best known within Ontario for its position on the shore of Lake Nipissing, a broad lake whose western outlet feeds the French River. The lake’s irregular shoreline is marked by bays and islands, contrasting with the transport and retail districts inland. Highway 11 forms a major route through the city, while Highway 17 links North Bay with the wider Trans-Canada Highway network. North Bay developed as a railway settlement in the 1880s and remains associated with long-distance rail and road travel across the Canadian Shield. Canadian Forces Base North Bay, home to 22 Wing, supports Canadian and North American aerospace defence operations.

First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples are central to Canada’s identity, while Ottawa’s Parliament Hill represents its federal political life.
