where being in the presence of natural habitat<br />
and breathtaking landscapes can rejuvenate your<br />
mind, body and spirit.<br />

A region rich in heritage, tradition and oldfashioned<br />
charm; a place surrounded by the<br />

legends and adventures of aviation & the triumph<br />
and development of the gold rush.<br />

or northern pike fishing? A remote<br />
wilderness location? How about flying<br />
on a float plane to where the air is<br />
fresh, the water is clear and the cabin<br />
is rustic without being primitive? A<br />
place to relax and take some time<br />

HUNTING<br />
Hunters travelling to our area will find a wide range of hunting opportunities. With many remote locations to choose from, you<br />
could find yourself hiking through some apparent untouched wilderness in search of the north’s majestic giants. It is known that our<br />
wilderness provides some of the best hunting for Black Bear and Moose in North America. In addition to these popular animals, hunters<br />
can enjoy opportunities for whitetail deer, small game, and duck and migratory bird hunting.<br />
WHITETAIL DEER<br />
Whitetail deer can be found throughout much of Ontario. Their range appears to be expanding<br />
northward over time. Abundant food makes almost any forested or bushy area suitable for deer,<br />
including parks and green spaces created by people. In winter, as snow deepens, deer concentrate<br />
in areas that provide food and shelter from deep snow. During the spring and summer, deer eat<br />
leafy material from woody plants, grasses and herbs. They also eat mushrooms and blueberries. In<br />
autumn and winter, deer depend largely on the twigs and buds that are within their reach. Acorns<br />
are a favourite autumn food for whitetail deer living in Northwestern Ontario.<br />
Size: 0.9 to 1.1 m (3.0-3.5 ft) Adult Buck: 45 to 136 kg (100-300 Ib) Adult Doe: 39 to 60 kg (85-130 Ib)<br />
MOOSE<br />
Moose are found across northern and central Ontario. They live near lakes, muskegs and streams<br />
of the boreal forest and on the northern tundra.<br />
Moose are the largest animal in Ontario. Large males (bulls) weigh up to 600 kilograms. Moose live<br />
on a diet of twigs, leaves, shrubs, upland plants and water plants. Moose tolerate cold very well but<br />
suffer from heat. In summer, especially during black fly season, moose often cool off in water for<br />
several hours each day. Moose are strong swimmers and can dive more than five metres in search<br />
of food on the bottom of the lake.<br />
Size: 1.5 to 1.8 m (5.5-6.0 ft) Bull: 400 to 545 kg (880-1,200 Ib) Cow: 375 to 535 kg (825-1,180 Ib)<br />
BLACK BEAR<br />
Black bears live throughout most of Ontario and prefer forested areas where they are best able<br />
to find food, refuge and den sites. When they are not hibernating, bears spend most of their<br />
time looking for food. In the summer, they eat berries such as blueberries, strawberries and<br />
raspberries. In the fall, they turn their attention to hazelnuts, mountain ash, acorns and beech<br />
nuts. While black bears will eat carrion, insects, fish, deer and moose calves, the bulk of their diet<br />
is made up of plants. They like to find lots of high energy food - like huge berry patches - that will<br />
help them fatten up fast. Their survival and ability to have young depends on them doubling their<br />
weight before winter hibernation. While black is the most common colour, brown and cinnamon<br />
phases also occur.<br />
Adult Female: 59 to 104 kg (130-230 Ib) Adult Male: 91 to 181 kg (200-400 Ib)<br />

Provincial<br />
Parks<br />
Woodland Caribou Provincial Park is<br />
one of the three participating wilderness<br />
parks in Northwest Ontario where<br />
visitors can complete a backcountry<br />
paddling quest and become eligible<br />
to win a brand new Souris River<br />
kevlar canoe or XY Company designer<br />
paddles. Find out more about the great<br />
Northwest Wilderness Quest at<br />
www.OntarioParks.com/nwquest.<br />
The Red Lake area is the “gateway” to<br />
Woodland Caribou Provincial Park. Known<br />
as a cultural landscape, at over 486,000<br />
hectares in size Woodland Caribou<br />
Provincial Park offers a vast roadless tract<br />
of uncut boreal forest protected within<br />
the system of Ontario’s Provincial Parks. It<br />
protects healthy functioning ecosystems,<br />
outstanding cultural landscapes and<br />
significant natural features including its<br />
namesake the secretive woodland caribou.<br />
To many outdoor travellers Woodland<br />
Caribou Provincial Park offers a giant<br />
playground. With approximately 2000<br />
kilometres of maintained canoe routes<br />
and 20 outpost camps and lodges you<br />
may experience everything from paddling<br />
quiet lakes and streams to the comforts of<br />
quality roofed accommodation. Solitude,<br />
unforgettable fishing for walleye,<br />
northern pike and lake trout and exquisite<br />
scenery are a mainstay of both types of<br />
experiences. Shutterbugs will enjoy the<br />
chance to capture local wildlife. Moose,<br />
caribou, beaver, bear, bald eagle, song<br />
and shorebirds are regularly seen. Lynx,<br />
wolverine and wolves may also make their<br />
presence known.<br />
The park also captures the headwaters<br />
of the Bloodvein River. Designated a<br />
Canadian Heritage River, the Bloodvein<br />
is celebrated for its cultural and historical<br />
importance. The river flows westward<br />
over 350 kilometers to eventually reach<br />
Lake Winnipeg in central Manitoba.<br />
REMOTE YET ACCESSIBLE<br />
Roadless yet accessible is a unique feature<br />
of Woodland Caribou. Park staff are<br />
available to provide general information<br />
to get you aquatinted with the park. Local<br />
outfitting services will help with your<br />
more detailed trip planning needs ranging<br />
from partial to complete outfitting, shuttle<br />
services to the parks road and water entry<br />
points and float plane access in or out of<br />
the parks interior.<br />
There is no greater experience in which to<br />
learn and discover Northwestern Ontario’s<br />
most precious natural resources.<br />
WHERE NATURE STILL RULES<br />
For all who plan to visit Woodland Caribou,<br />
be prepared to experience nature on<br />
its terms. Amidst its wildness you will<br />
witness rugged beauty and experience its<br />
powerful moods. Prepare to be humbled<br />
by towering cliffs or by a sudden summer<br />
storm as you scurry to shelter. Understand<br />
that the trails you share with others were<br />
laid out generations ago by the ancestors<br />
of the area’s First Nations. Observe the<br />
circle of life in the boreal forest by paying<br />
closer attention to the rich re-growth in<br />
the wake of a recent forest fire.<br />
Indulge your sense of adventure but<br />
remember to treat the area with respect.<br />
Soak it all in allowing your mind, body and<br />
spirit to be rejuvenated as far too soon<br />
the journey will end and you will draw<br />
upon your memories to sustain you until<br />
your next visit.<br />

RED LAKE<br />
AIRPORT<br />
The Red Lake Airport is a vital air transportation link<br />
for the Northwestern Ontario region. It is specifically<br />
vital for the transportation of goods and passengers<br />
along with providing airport facilities for itinerant<br />
aircraft servicing the Northern Communities of the<br />
Region. Tourism and the Mining Industry rely on<br />
the convenience of the Airport in connecting to the<br />

facilities in Winnipeg and Thunder Bay.<br />
The Airport offers the following aviation related<br />
activities and services; cargo, corporate and<br />
scheduled operations, aircraft maintenance and<br />
refurbishing, Medevac, Ministry of Natural Resources<br />
Forest Fire Management Base and fuelling services.<br />

The Red Lake Airport has seen consistent<br />
growth in passenger levels since the 2005<br />
level of 32,139 passengers to 36,577<br />
passengers in 2010. The air carriers that<br />
provide scheduled service are Superior<br />
Airways, Wasaya Airways, Bearskin Airlines<br />
and North Star Air; this is augmented by<br />
charter service from Superior Airways,<br />
Calm Air, Perimeter Airways and Goldcorp.<br />

Norseman Festival July 21-23, 2017<br />
Mark your calendars and plan a trip to<br />
the beautiful Red Lake District to join us<br />
in celebrating Canada’s 150 Anniversary<br />
and 25 years of the Norseman Floatplane<br />
Festival!<br />
Red Lake is proud to be known as the<br />
Norseman Capital of the World. The<br />
title shows respect for the Noorduyn<br />
Norseman, the “Original Canadian<br />
Bushplane”. This vintage aircraft was the<br />
first designed for flying in Canada’s north<br />
and included many “firsts” in airplane<br />
design. Over the last four decades, there<br />
have been more Norsemen flying in the<br />
Red Lake District than anywhere else;<br />
currently six are located in Red Lake.<br />
One of these is CF-DRD, displayed on<br />
a pedestal in Norseman Heritage Park,<br />
centrally located in Red Lake. The other<br />
five are fully-operational and can be seen<br />
operating out of Howey Bay during the<br />
summer months.<br />
Every July, Red Lake hosts the Norseman<br />
Floatplane Festival. Traditionally, this<br />
festival attracts aviation enthusiasts<br />
from around the world and introduces<br />
newcomers to the exciting and<br />
adventurous world of float plane flying.<br />
This 3-day festival is a combination of a<br />
good old fashioned family fun festival<br />
and an airshow, a combination that is<br />
guaranteed to provide enjoyment for all<br />
ages.<br />
In 2017, Norseman Festival is planning to<br />
provide a combination of our old favorites<br />
and the addition of more new and exciting<br />
activities. Building on the great success<br />
of 2016, this year’s festival is sure to be a<br />
crowd pleaser.<br />
In Red Lake, aviation remains a<br />
fundamental part of the local economy.<br />
With several commercial airlines operating<br />
out of Howey Bay, visitors are certain to<br />
see Norseman, Beaver, Otter, Cessna and<br />
a variety of other float aircrafts. These<br />
aircrafts today are largely used for tourism<br />
carrying anglers, canoeists and hunters to<br />
remote lodges and outposts. Numerous<br />
area residents also own and fly their own<br />
aircraft for recreational purposes.<br />

positioned this renowned mine for many more years of long-term<br />
sustainable production.<br />
The focus at Red Lake is on asset optimization and cost reduction<br />
efforts. Continued transition to mechanized mining, bulk mining<br />
and material movement automation is expected to result in lower<br />
mining costs. Exploration continues to focus on the high-grade<br />
HG Young deposit. A key priority is the evaluation of underground<br />
development options to better assess the continuity of the<br />
mineralization at depth. Exploration will also continue in the HGZ<br />
at depth and on further testing of High Grade Zone deep offsets.<br />
COMMUNITY RELATIONS<br />
Red Lake Gold Mines is committed to building strong relationships<br />
and developing strategies that will create long term sustainable<br />
value.<br />
We contribute to the economic development of our host<br />
communities through a variety of methods. We recognize that<br />
we have the ability to impact and influence the local and regional<br />
economies around our sites. This is why we are working to create<br />
sustainable value – long-term social and economic benefits that do<br />
not leave a legacy of dependence. Our approach is multifaceted,<br />
embedded in our new CSR strategy, and incorporates: local hiring<br />
and procurement initiatives, including training and capacity<br />
building; direct community contributions through donations and<br />
investments; and infrastructure investment. We also contribute<br />
through the payment of taxes and royalties to various levels of<br />
government in the communities and regions where we operate.<br />
Some of Red Lake’s Community Relations contributions include:<br />
• Formal Collaboration Agreements with Wabauskang and<br />
Lac Seul First Nations provide a framework that strengthens<br />
collaboration in the development and operation of Red Lake<br />
Gold Mines.<br />
• Goldcorp donated $5 million to the Municipality of Red Lake<br />
towards the construction of a new Red Lake Medical Clinic,<br />
opened in 2015. This new facility is paramount to the attraction<br />
and retention of medical professionals to the Red Lake area,<br />
to better serve over 5,000 residents including those from<br />
surrounding communities.<br />
• Goldcorp contributed $3 million towards developing a 54 lot<br />
residential subdivision that is currently being transferred to the<br />
Municipality of Red Lake.<br />
• In 2014, Goldcorp committed $605,000 over two years to the<br />
Heart and Stroke Foundation to support stroke awareness,<br />
professional development, and Telestroke preparedness and<br />
integration activities, focused on our Canadian operations,<br />
including Red Lake and its surrounding communities.<br />

• A variety of donations and sponsorships to local organizations<br />
including the Red Lake Margaret Cochenour Hospital<br />
Foundation, Red Lake Area Emergency Shelter, Wilderness<br />
Entertainment Series, Colours of Hope Run for Cancer,<br />
Norseman Day Festival, district schools’ and community sports,<br />
and English River Miners hockey team to name a few.<br />
• Red Lake Gold Mines supported the Red Lake Scout Group’s<br />
fourth annual tree planting event on the mine’s property to<br />
promote and educate local youth about rehabilitation. The<br />
company’s environmental vision of Our Planet, Our Choices,<br />
Our Legacy, outlines our belief that we each have a part to play<br />
in maintaining the environment.<br />
Red Lake Gold Mines also contributes to a number of programs and<br />
events aimed at supporting youth in Red Lake and its surrounding<br />
communities. Examples of this include the Mining Matters Mining<br />
Rocks Earth Science Program - an exciting educational experience<br />
tailored to the unique needs of the community. In 2016, Red<br />
Lake Gold Mines also hosted a one-week Mining Rocks Program<br />
aimed at educating elementary school students, teachers and<br />
community members about the mining cycle, rocks, minerals and<br />
many aspects of mining including rehabilitation.<br />
