Torbay Resort – North Bay, Ontario

I came across this web cam when I was looking over the City of North Bay Web Site (http://www.city.north-bay.on.ca/). Torbay reminds me of a place in the North Bay area that I vacationed at back in 1965. It may, in fact, be the same place. If you look at the history of Torbay on their website (http://www.torbay.net/) you'll see that they have been around for 70 years. I remember the place that I stayed at being much larger that the resort as shown in the pictures on their site, and in fact they mentioned that the resort now is quite a bit smaller.

North Bay, Ontario

The city of North Bay, Ontario, is located about 210 miles north of Toronto, and is situated on the North Bay of Lake Nipissing. Although the North Bay Area was first explored by Samuel de Champlain, settlement did not occur until the last two decades of the 19th Century, with the coming of the CPR and CNR railroads. Given its strategic location, the city quickly became a railroad and transportation center, which was being driven chiefly by the emergence of the lumber and mining industries. Today, the area's focus is on service industries, the government and tourism. North Bay also boasts of a thriving arts community. In 2004, the TVOntario program Studio 2 selected North Bay as being one of the top three most artistically talented communities in the province
