North
Bay is a wonderfully simple town to enjoy. You can spend hours browsing the small shops that are on the main street of the downtown. In the same area are many restaurants, and other activities to keep you busy for hours.

*'''The
Dionne
Museum''',
at
the
intersection
of
Highway
11
and
the
Trans Canada Highway. The museum chronicles the 'Dionne Quints' born in the area during the 1930's. The birth of the quints and the resulting tourism may have very well saved a
dry
economy.
