Sharing information about the Manitoulin Island is what we are here for. 

The Cobalt Historical Society is a volunteer non-profit corporation that was established in 1999. We are a member of a joint-venture partnership with the Town of Cobalt and Coleman Township. Together our mission is to preserve and promote the mining heritage of the area.

Assist business owners and council by fostering and promoting effective business development tools to enhance local commerce, and sustain an atmosphere that results from the presence of the BIA.

The purpose of the Waterfront District BIA is to facilitate a vibrant, diverse, mixed-use downtown area where residents and visitors collectively gather to enjoy a variety of businesses, shopping, entertainment, and recreational activities in a safe, beautiful environment. 

There is no other place quite like the Ojibwe Cultural Foundation, just around the corner from Lillian’s in M'Chigeeng. Part art gallery (and oh, what art!), part breathtaking museum, and part cultural experience, visitors are invited to experience the authentic expression of the Anishinaabe language, culture, and spirituality. And don't forget the gift shop!

Stop by the gift shop in the Wiky Tourism Center, located in the heart of Wikwemikong. The gift shop is the go-to spot for genuine hand-made art, crafts, gifts, and a whole lot more. You can trust that everything you find there is made or sourced directly from local Anishinabe crafters, artisans, and vendors from Odawa Mnis-Manitoulin Island.

Chippewa Park hast been a favourite with visitors since it opened in 1921.

The park offers something for everyone, day and night including: concerts, sandy beaches, water activities, walking and hiking trails, camping and RV sites, an amusement park, theatre performances, sports fields and more.

Did you know that real Winnie from the Winni-the-Pooh series is originally from White River, Ontario? Visit Winnie the Pooh Park makes for a lovely rest stop for leg stretch and picnic. Just steps away from the Tourist Information Centre. Don't forget to take your photo at the historic Winnie-the-Pooh statue.

 North Frontenac has the darkest skies in southern Ontario and it is the perfect place for star gazing. Many of us have taken for granted that the dark sky is a natural beauty and forgot, or never realized, that many people have no idea what can be seen in the heavens above at night. In 2013, the Township of North Frontenac became the first municipality in Canada to receive Dark Sky Preserve status from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.

Interpretive boat tours are offered on Mazinaw Lake and over to Mazinaw Rock.
