I took a trip to Callander Bay, Ontario and North Bay in the winter (an unpopular opinion, I know). Here's the thing though: Ontario is absolutely stunning in the winter. And, considering the fact that our province experiences winter-like weather about six months of the year, I think we have to learn to love winter!
​
There's so much to experience in Callander: from the history (we visited the Heritage Museum and LOVED it) to the art (Alex Dufresne Gallery) to sights (like the Southeast Bay Lighthouse), there's a surprising amount you can experience in Callander. Definitely take time to gof, and walk the Cranberry Trail!
We also visited North Bay - and let me say, it's worth visiting North Bay for sure. Having been only one other time, I had no idea what to expect. The highlight for us was definitely Duchesnay Falls Trails, where you can spend as long or as little as you want.
​
When it comes to visiting and appreciating Northern Ontario in the winter, I just say: pack layers. We visited mid-March and experienced a wide range of weather conditions, but try to being cold, just pack layers.
​
I present to you images from the North. I hope you can see what my camera saw: that there's many moments, big and small, that we can see in the north.
