KIRKLAND LAKE Kirkland Lake has a rich mining history that runs deep in the ground and deep in the
hearts of its residents. The town follows the “Mile of Gold,” a line of seven major mines that each mined
part of a single body of ore—one of the world’s largest deposits of gold. Besides its fascinating history,
Kirkland Lake boasts scenic spots, natural wonders, and one of the best, old-fashioned winter carnivals
you’ll ever have the pleasure to enjoy!

HARLEY Harley is an economic and agricultural township situated just north of Temiskaming Shores.
The township was first opened up for settlement in 1896 and for several years following, logging fuelled its
economic growth. The Industrial Park attracts new businesses to relocate to the community, ensuring those
workers can truly experience a balance of live, work, and play.

MCGARRY Much of northeastern Ontario has been built by the search for precious minerals. In the early
1900s, the discovery of silver deposits in Cobalt started to slow down, so prospectors ventured farther
north. When gold was found in the fall of 1906 on the northeast arm of Larder Lake, a new gold rush was
off and running. By 1937 two boom towns—Virginiatown and Kearns—were combined to form the McGarry
Township.
