Temagami North

Temagami North, formerly known as Goward, is an unincorporated community comprising part of the municipality of Temagami in Nipissing District, Ontario, Canada. It is a residential subdivision centred around Spruce Drive, about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north of Temagami itself.

Temagami North is locally known as the "Townsite" because it was created in the 1960s to supply Sherman Mine further south and as a new residential location away from the town of Temagami.[1] Temagami North is the location of Barton Mine, a long abandoned molybdenite mine that was destroyed by a fire in the early 1900s. There are known kimberlite pipes that are considered diamondiferous in the area that could lead to future mining.

Temagami North sits on the shore of Net Lake, where people can go canoeing, fishing, and boating. The main arena of Temagami is situated near the shore of Net Lake and is used seasonally for hockey and curling. In 2005, the roof of the arena collapsed inward from snow weight during winter.
