Modest House
Simpler, smaller, more elegant than the mansions being built these days.
There is a nice architectural mix of symmetry and asymmetry which I find interesting.

The Spirit of Haida Gwaii
In Canada’s Museum of Civilization is a plaster model of The Spirit of Haida Gwaii sculpted by Bill Reid.

North Bay Harbour
The development of the North Bay Waterfront required the construction of a sheltered harbour for small craft.

The small boat marina has spaces for 250 craft.

It was replaced by the “New Chief” in about 1974.
