No! Look on a map, dude! You turn north on highway 779 at Stony Plain and then drive for 20 minutes or so. It's more a subdivision than a real town. My uncle Ernie used to live there.

when I visited Thunder Bay, my friend and I were quite surprised to be told that, in addition to Lake winnepeg which we knew abt, there was also a Lake WINNEPEGOSIS! I'm sorry, but that sounds like a disease!

Oops, sorry about that! That'll teach me to post answers to geography threads (especially non-US threads) w/o a map. . .

― Jeff Wright, Sunday, 15 June 2003 01:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Heh, don't even worry about that, it still boggles me sometimes (coming from the prairies as I do) that the bottom part of Ontario, Toronto included, is further south that most of Oregon and that the southernmost tip of Canada/Ontario is further south that the Oregon/California border!
