That’s sad to hear...
Small town Canada is what this country is all about; supporting local business and being independent of big box and big towns allows them to keep their identity. I always appreciated the fact that the masses tend to venture no further than about 250km North, leaving the ‘true North’ to guys like us. But maybe that just kills towns like Temagami while places like Huntsville are hijacked/overwhelmed by tourists. Seeing old photos of Model T’s making the treacherous drive to places like Temagami almost 100 years ago blows me away...almost as much as it blows me away how few make the drive up today
