I flew from Burlington, VT to Toronto to meet with the Rahns. I was pleased to find that the Customs process was very easy and fast. Karen informed me that they wanted to stop at an art museum on the way out of Toronto. She had previously told me about the Group of Seven Canadian Artists known for their northern Ontario art work. Much of their work is displayed there as well as other Canadian art.
The name of the museum is the McMichael Art Museum. I took this picture which I found interesting. You should be able to read the narrative if you enlarge it.
The museum is wonderful with art work both inside and on the grounds. I'd like to go back some time when we have more time. This site includes a lot. McMichael Museum
This site gives the history of the Group of Seven. Group of Seven
Here is a site that shows many of the Group of Seven paintings. Group of Seven paintings
We hated to leave the museum but needed to get to Gore Bay and pick up our boat. We had made arrangements to stay on the boat, the night before our ten day charter started.
Here is a link to a map for locating the North Channel. You can zoom in and out. We picked the boat up at Gore Bay. By zooming in and can see our route. Gore Bay north to South Benjamin, East to Croker, East to Little Current, East to Baie Fin and the Pool, East to Killarney. Then we returned to Gore Bay. North Channel interactive map
