Temiskaming Shores
From Wikitravel
Temiskaming Shores is a city in Northern Ontario.
The city of Temiskaming Shores encompasses the towns of Dymond, Haileybury, and New Liskeard. Although a city in name, it is actually quite small (population just over 10,000.) It is, however, the biggest community in the region, with North Bay, Timmins, and Rouyn-Noranda being the closest cities, all well over 100 km away.
[edit] Get in
Highway 65 runs west from the Quebec border, through Dymond and on towards Elk Lake and Matachewan. Most will come in through Highway 11 (Trans-Canada), from the south (North Bay) or north (Timmins, Cochrane.)
[edit] Get around
Haileybury and New Liskeard are roughly 8 km apart, so a motor vehicle is key. The Tri-Town Transit bus service connects the two, hourly on weekdays, every 2 hours Saturdays, and no service Sundays and holidays. The transit buses, unlike any other, are repainted schoolbuses. This makes for a *very* rough, unenjoyable ride. $2.50 fare. The long distance between destinations makes taxis an expensive alternative.
