Page | 8 ABOUT US ©Gary and Joanie McGuffin Marathon is a vibrant community with a "small town" feel and "big city" business opportunities. Fueled by the Hemlo Gold Mines and a dynamic business sector, Marathon is the largest commercial service centre between Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie. It has a population of 3,300 citizens, with approximately 200 businesses, as well as a regional trading population of approximately 15,000 people. In addition, Marathon is located in the "middle" of Canada, which means it is only a little more than a day's drive from Southern Ontario, Western Canada or the Midwest United States - and millions of potential customers and visitors. Marathon's quality of life is a local trademark and is second to none. Well developed and progressive health care, social services, recreational, and educational sectors make Marathon an ideal community in which to locate. Marathon has a modern hospital and a well-staffed medical clinic. Wilson Memorial General Hospital is an acute and chronic care hospital offering a number of diverse services. The Marathon Family Practice is a complete service family medical clinic with a full complement of physicians on staff. It has been recognized as a leader in the development of rural medicine programs, winning the Family Practice of the Year Award in 2009 from the Ontario College of Physicians. In addition, Marathon's modern communications infrastructure, retail shopping sector, abounding recreational opportunities, and its friendly people make it a genuinely unique community. Page | 9 MARATHON's HISTORY As long ago as 500 BC this area was inhabited by Ojibway Natives who lived along the Pic River; their descendants are still resident there today. The Marathon of today was born as a railroad community named Peninsula. Peninsula Harbour was a vital link in the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, being the base of operations for one of the most difficult and costly sections across Canada. It was chosen by William Van Horne as his main supply base due to the harbour's depth and protection. Actual work on the railway was begun by the spring of 1883. By all accounts, Peninsula was a wild and lawless town with 12,000 men, 15,000 horses and various hangers-on. One writer described it as the “worst place on earth”. All the work on the railway was done by muscle power - no steam shovels, bulldozers, cranes, or power tools! The rail line joining Ontario with the prairies was completed in May 1885, following which the population plummeted, and by the mid-1930's only 28 people lived here. In 1936, General Timber began logging operations along the Pic River and Lake Superior shoreline. A timber agreement with the Ontario government stipulated that the cutting rights were contingent on a pulp mill being built in the area. The turning point came in 1944 with the construction of the pulp mill. The town's name was changed to Everest, Ontario after D.C. Everest, president of Marathon Corporation of Wisconsin, owner of the mill. Later that same year the town's name was changed again, to Marathon, because name Everest was deemed as sounding too close to Everett, Ontario. With the return of World War 2 veterans, and the resulting baby boom, Marathon became a thriving community again with a population that stabilized at about 2,400. In 1981, gold was discovered at Hemlo Ontario, an uninhabited area adjacent to the TransCanada highway some 40 km. east of Marathon. By the late 1980’s, the Hemlo Operations included three gold mines: Williams, David Bell and Golden Giant. Many of their employees resided in Marathon, which effectively more than doubled the town's population to a high of 5,500, making it the largest town along the North Shore of Lake Superior between Sault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay. Decommissioning of the Golden Giant mine in 2005, along with preparation for the eventual closing of the David Bell mine, saw the gradual reduction of Marathon's population. 2009 marked the beginning of another period of economic change. Marathon Pulp Inc. announced an indefinite shutdown of the pulp mill that eliminated over 200 jobs from the region, and negatively impacted both Marathon's tax base and its local economy. However, not all changes in 2009 were bad. The Vancouver-based Teck Cominco mining company sold its 50% share of the Williams and David Bell mines to its investing partner, Barrick Gold Corporation. In addition, a new mine is currently in development; Marathon PGM Corporation has discovered the largest platinum group metals and copper resource in Canada just 10 km. north of Marathon. Stillwater Canada Inc. acquired Marathon PGM in November of 2010 and an environmental assessment of the project is underway. Page | 10 DON'T MISS Pebble Beach One of the most panoramic views of Lake Superior! Turn left at the Museum, then turn right at the 6th paved intersection (Howe Street), and continue to the end of the road. The "pebbles" were deposited over 10,000 years ago; originating in the Hudson Bay Lowlands, they were brought here by glacial movement. Millennia of weathering and wave action have given them their present shape. Pebble Beach stretches for two km. along the coast of Lake Superior starting at the mill. “Please do not remove the pebbles from our beach” Penn Lake Park Swim! Picnic! Camp! Hike! Playgrounds! *See our Camping section for further information* Mink Creek Falls Located 16 km. west of the Marathon turn off; look for the round airplane markers overhanging the highway, then look for the Mink Creek sign - the creek flows along the north side of the highway. After a short right curve, there is a gravel parking lot on the north side. After parking, cross the highway and follow the trail that leads directly to the falls.

Page | 18 Page | 19 10 km. east of Marathon along Highway 17, turn off on Highway 627 toward Pukaskwa National Park History of the Pic The mouth of the Pic River has been a center of native trade and settlement for thousands of years. It was a strategic location in the region's water transportation network because it offered access to northern lands and a canoe route to James Bay. The halfway point for canoers travelling the north shore of Lake Superior, "the Pic" first appeared on European maps in the mid-seventeenth century. Local natives began to trade furs with the French in the late 1770’s, prompting a French trader to set up a permanent post here by 1792 The Hudson's Bay Company operated the post from 1821 until encroaching settlement led to its relocation in 1888. In 1914 the Pic became a reserve of its traditional inhabitants, the Ojibways of Pic River Number 50 First Nation. Major Community Events Aboriginal Day Celebrations On the third weekend in June, sspend a weekend along the Pic River and take part in the activities provided, there is something for everyone!
