Travel Information
At the Welcome Centre, you'll meet our friendly and knowledgeable tourism advisors, who are always ready to help you out. They're experts on everything local and can give you the best travel tips, answer your questions, and highlight the must-see attractions and activities in the region.
Just a heads-up, though – while our advisors are great at providing travel info, the Welcome Centre isn't a TICO certified Travel Agency. So, we can't help with negotiating travel rates or booking things like buses, flights, trains, or cruises. But for everything else Kapuskasing (and area)-related, we've got you covered!
Ron Morel Memorial Museum
Explore the fascinating Ron Morel Memorial Museum, uniquely housed within locomotive #5107. This museum, established in 1971, is the brainchild of the late Ron Morel Sr., who sought to combine and showcase his dual passions for local history and trains. During your visit, you can delve into the history of the World War I Prisoner of War Internment Camp, marvel at the detailed model train display, and discover many more intriguing exhibits that bring the rich local history to life. This museum offers a unique and educational experience for visitors of all ages.
Maurice Gaudreault Sculpture Gallery
Stroll through the exquisite clay sculpture gallery created by the late Maurice Gaudreault. This gallery is a testament to Gaudreault's artistic mastery, featuring intricate sculptures that narrate the daily lives of the pioneers in Northern Ontario. Each sculpture is a detailed portrayal, offering insights into the challenges, joys, and the overall essence of pioneer life in this rugged yet beautiful part of Canada. This gallery not only serves as a tribute to the artist's skill but also as a vivid window into the past, capturing the spirit of an era through the medium of clay.
