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

experiences. Shutterbugs will enjoy the
chance to capture local wildlife. Moose,
caribou, beaver, bear, bald eagle, song
and shorebirds are regularly seen. Lynx,
wolverine and wolves may also make their
presence known.
The park also captures the headwaters
of the Bloodvein River. Designated a
Canadian Heritage River, the Bloodvein
is celebrated for its cultural and historical
importance. The river flows westward
over 350 kilometers to eventually reach
Lake Winnipeg in central Manitoba.
REMOTE YET ACCESSIBLE
Roadless yet accessible is a unique feature
of Woodland Caribou. Park staff are
available to provide general information
to get you aquatinted with the park. Local
outfitting services will help with your
more detailed trip planning needs ranging
from partial to complete outfitting, shuttle
services to the parks road and water entry
points and float plane access in or out of
the parks interior.
There is no greater experience in which to
learn and discover Northwestern Ontario’s
most precious natural resources.
WHERE NATURE STILL RULES
For all who plan to visit Woodland Caribou,
be prepared to experience nature on
its terms. Amidst its wildness you will
witness rugged beauty and experience its
powerful moods. Prepare to be humbled
by towering cliffs or by a sudden summer
storm as you scurry to shelter. Understand
that the trails you share with others were
laid out generations ago by the ancestors
of the area’s First Nations. Observe the
circle of life in the boreal forest by paying
closer attention to the rich re-growth in
the wake of a recent forest fire.
Indulge your sense of adventure but
remember to treat the area with respect.
Soak it all in allowing your mind, body and
spirit to be rejuvenated as far too soon
the journey will end and you will draw
upon your memories to sustain you until
your next visit.

RED LAKE
AIRPORT
The Red Lake Airport is a vital air transportation link
for the Northwestern Ontario region. It is specifically
vital for the transportation of goods and passengers
along with providing airport facilities for itinerant
aircraft servicing the Northern Communities of the
Region. Tourism and the Mining Industry rely on
the convenience of the Airport in connecting to the
rest of the country and beyond. Due to the relative
isolation of Red Lake to large Metropolitan areas,
the Airport provides a key connection to healthcare
facilities in Winnipeg and Thunder Bay.
The Airport offers the following aviation related
activities and services; cargo, corporate and
scheduled operations, aircraft maintenance and
refurbishing, Medevac, Ministry of Natural Resources
Forest Fire Management Base and fuelling services.
SERVICE
The Red Lake Airport has seen consistent
growth in passenger levels since the 2005
level of 32,139 passengers to 36,577
passengers in 2010. The air carriers that
provide scheduled service are Superior
Airways, Wasaya Airways, Bearskin Airlines
and North Star Air; this is augmented by
charter service from Superior Airways,
Calm Air, Perimeter Airways and Goldcorp.
The Red Lake Airport also serves regular
medevac flights and cargo flights through
various service providers such as Wasaya
Airways, Superior Airways, Ornge, Calm Air
and Perimeter Airlines.

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

OUR
EVENTS
POW WOW
The steady beat of the drum, their songs carried on by the wind,
the sound of the jingles and feet gently touching the ground
as they dance. These are the sounds of the Indigenous People
coming together to host and celebrate Red Lake’s Annual
Community Pow Wow. Every year offers a different experience.
The event is started off with a sacred blessing of the grounds
and then the event ends with a large feast. Throughout the day
you can enjoy the taste of fresh baked and fried bannock, as
well as Indian Taco’s, bannock burgers and dogs. Every year
is different in the amount of drums that joins in, but what
doesn’t change is the amazing traditional music and dances
that drummers and dancers share with you. Listen and watch
the festivities, or even join in on one of the ceremonial dances.
Everyone is welcomed and encouraged to take part. This is a
cultural learning experience you will remember for a lifetime.

ABOUT GOLDCORP
Goldcorp is a leading gold producer focused on
responsible mining practices with safe, low-cost
production throughout the Americas. A portfolio
of long-lived, high-quality assets positions the
company to deliver long-term value. A Canadian
company headquartered in Vancouver, British
Columbia, Goldcorp employs more than 15,000
people worldwide with over a 1,000 of these based
in Red Lake. We believe in safe production, acting
ethically, respecting all our stakeholders, open
communication, empowering others and innovation.
We are committed to being responsible stewards of
the environment and to complying with the highest
applicable health and safety standards. These are
core values and strengths that guide our decisionmaking
everywhere we do business.
Goldcorp Red Lake Gold Mines
Red Lake is located in one of the world’s most prolific gold
districts. In 2015, gold production totaled 375,700 ounces. The
High Grade Zone is the backbone of the Red Lake operation, with
an average grade of more than two ounces of gold per tonne.
Recent investments in infrastructure and development have
positioned this renowned mine for many more years of long-term
sustainable production.
The focus at Red Lake is on asset optimization and cost reduction
efforts. Continued transition to mechanized mining, bulk mining
and material movement automation is expected to result in lower
mining costs. Exploration continues to focus on the high-grade
HG Young deposit. A key priority is the evaluation of underground
