Hawk Junction, Ontario

Community in Ontario, Canada

Hawk Junction is a community with a local services board in the Canadian province of Ontario,[1] located just north of Highway 101, about 30 kilometres (19 mi) east of Wawa.

The community was established by people of Italian, Scottish and French descent in 1909 when the Algoma Central Railway was built through the area. In 1923-1924 it was destroyed by fire. The community was rebuilt and is now a terminal for the Algoma Central Railway.[2]

In September 2017, the last operating business, the Big Bear Hotel, closed, leaving Hawk Junction without any stores or services.[3] Residents had to drive to the nearby town of Wawa for any services. The Big Bear has reopened and is serving lunch and dinner regularly. The Big Bear Hotel is now the site of the Hawk Junction Winter Craft Sale held in late November. Hawk Junction is a popular starting point for wilderness hunting and fishing trips. During the winter Hawk Junction is a major snowmobile drop off point.[2] The Big Bear has reopened its doors under a new owner.
