Ontario's Wilderness Region gives you access to James Bay, where you can encounter polar bears and beluga whales.  Float plane trips provide access to areas most people, and most Canadians, don't have the privilege to see.

Mining, including historical gold rush towns, are part of this region of Ontario.  For example, you can take an underground visit of the Timmins Gold Mine Tour.  Timmins' most famous daughter is Shania Twain.  The Museum of Northern History in Kirkland Lake display's the region's history of mining, geology and wildlife.

Cochrane Ontario offers the Polar Bear Express train ride down the Arctic Watershed through forests, past lakes and tundra to James Bay.  Cochrane also offers the Polar Bear Conservation and Education Habitat and Heritage Centre.

Ontario's Wilderness Region's accommodations include hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, campgrounds and resorts.
