TIMMINS

 James Bay Frontier - a land for those lured by the call of the wild. A dramatic, remote land that holds the power to unfetter the imagination. A place of unchanging, uncompromising splendour, of stark beauty, of true solitude. This is where the real wilderness begins. Where a single railway track is the only link to the last outpost before the Arctic landscape begins in earnest.
