what's new in town?

a compendium of photos highlighting what's new and exciting in the village of temagami this summer.


the little shop with no name, occupying the former temagami garden centre lot, sells muskoka chairs and assorted lawn ornaments. my only question is, will the chairs now be known as "temagami chairs?"


the angele egwuna exhibit will be housed this summer in twin boxcars next to the train station. from their webpage: "the purpose of this touring exhibition is to present works and historical materials that "set the record straight" in terms of an important and strong individual who lived in our area and, by virtue of her values and intellect, was able to contribute to the making of what has become a northern legend: the legend of grey owl."

extensive repairs to the temagami municipal building continue apace. the original building was based on a scaled-down, rejected design from science north. it leaked extensively and garnered derisive comments from residents and visitors alike due to its extreme ugliness. it won't look much different when finished, but one crucial question remains: will the new trim be the same atrocious orange?


temagami's cop shop is moving out of the venerable building on lakeshore drive and into an expanded boathouse across the way. word on the street says this is so the province can sell the old mnr, mto, opp, and jailhouse buildings as a package for some developer to build waterfront condos.
