After spending 4 months up there assisting the Maintenance & Engineering departments with plans for the shutdown, the crafts went on strike the Monday the shutdown was to start, so the Plant Mgr decided to keep the paper mill running & postpone the outage. I probably stayed only a couple of weeks after & came home for good then.

I remember (except for the name) a very good steak house in North Bay that I tried to visit once a week. Restaurant had a small bar but it was set up nice. Usually ate my meals sitting at the bar.

And you're right when it came to understanding the locals in Temiscaming. English was definitely the 2nd language!
