Algoma is the smallest region in northern Ontario but still spans 28,000 square miles. Looking at an Ontario map, the region starts east of Spanish, Ontario, following the Lake Huron coastline to Sault Ste. Marie. From the “Soo”, the region expands west to White River then north to Nakina and Hearst. After that, it’s to Chapleau and Elliot Lake. Bordered by two of the greatest Great Lakes, Huron and Superior, the region is dotted with cities & towns as unique as the geography.

Location, location, location! is what we talk about no matter which community you visit.
