Moosonee 2009

Assorted pictures taken in 2009 of Moosonee, Ontario. Moosonee is a small town located on the Moose River near the south end of James Bay in Northeastern Ontario, Canada. It is the northern terminus of the Ontario Northland Railway. Although the Moose River at Moosonee is relatively shallow, Moosonee is still a port for the shipment of goods further north. In the winter, trucks can travel on the winter road to Fort Albany, Kashechewan and Attawapiskat, communities along the West Coast of James Bay. In the summer barges make the trip to those places and others.
Across the river from Moosonee is Moose Factory Island, the site of the oldest English settlement in Ontario.

Greeting from your neighbor to the south ( way south!! U.S. )I'm doing a bit of reminising of my visit to Moosonee back in the late 90's. Thank you to the many folks responsible for these very beautiful and creative pictures.I wish you the very best that life has to offer and also a very merry Christmas and a happy and productive new year.

Hi Paul, it was so nice to see that they had put up a Josephine Chakasim memorial cross,it was about time. I know she was a beautiful lady who died senselessly. Hoping all is well in good ole Moosonee.

Great pictures, pity Moosenee is the most mis-handled tourist destination in the province. Crap train service, 4 hours late, no time in Moosenee, no tourist information to help in Moosenee, waste of time to visit.

Wow!! The pictures are awesome and I enjoy every one of them. I was in Moosonee a long time ago.. I am from Labrador... My mom Mary Jane and Aunt Emma went to school there at the college and there were a bunch of us that lived in moosonee for a year or two, cant really remember much but I know that I made a few friends there and I haven't seen or heard from them since we left Moosonee, but I think I still know thier names.. hehe! . anyway, You have beautiful pictures!

Very nice pics love the night shots and the sunrise/sunset pics. I visited moosoneee/moose factory as a child and returned in the summer of 2007. I find the people friendly and the scenery stunning...all the best.. scott

Just finished novel: "Through Black Spruce," by Joseph Boyden. Reading his story brought me to Moosonee and surrounding communities. I would like to venture north to Moosonee someday.

bobboonstra		26-Jul-2009 05:36
I really enjoyed ALL of the pictures. They make me feel as if I'm almost there. The town appears to have a vibrant and healthy population. I'd love to visit sometime..
