JUNE 12, 2014 Friends of Temagami has taken its popular wall map of Temagami, cut out the core and turned that into a folding trip companion. Of course, the scale has doubled to 1:50,000 and it is printed on waterproof, tear-resistant paper. This is the area bounded by Lake Temagami, Obabika River, Maple Mountain and Anima Nipissing Lake, all 2,330 square kilometres of the most popular canoeing and kayaking routes. That's 402 campsites and 360 portages for $18 or 45 cents a campsite. And it is loaded with additional route information. This is the first in a series by map meister Alex Broadbent, past president of Friends. It can be purchased at the retailers listed on the FOT website or by mail. All proceeds go to conservation efforts in Temagami. Can you leave home without it?

WOLF LAKE CRISIS The Wolf Lake Coalition is seeking support from provincial-election candidates for the protection of the lake and its old growth. The group will make public the responses from the contenders for MPP in Sudbury, Nickel Belt and Timiskaming-Cochrane ridings. "Wolf Lake is an ecological gem of global importance," says Bob Olajos of the Friends of Temagami, a coalition member. "At the same time it makes an important contribution to local businesses and is cherished by the many Ontarians and visitors who have experienced it. Protecting it should be an easy decision for every party. Though slated to become part of a network of protected areas, mineral claims and leases have blocked the transfer of the lands into the park system. The Ministry of Northern Development and Mines has failed to seize past opportunities to let the claims and leases expire, as promised. The group is asking the public for support during the election by pressing their local candidates and party leaders to save Wolf Lake.
