West Ferris Township, Ontario


The Canadian city of North Bay, Ontario, is divided into numerous neighbourhoods.

Birchaven1 is a neighbourhood located to the south of Trout Lake Road. Many people unfamiliar with this area and have incorrect maps mistakenly believe that it is called Birch Haven. Birchaven1 borders Trout Lake and extends to Wallace Road.

North Bay's Downtown is located along the shore of Lake Nipissing, between the Gateway and Ferris neighbourhoods. The area is aligned southeast to northwest, and bounded roughly by Fisher Street, Memorial Drive, Algonquin Avenue and Fifth Avenue.

Feronia used to be a farming community with a school, general store and community centre. In 2005 Feronia is far less impressive, however still with a decent population scattered off the highway. There is still a community centre, which is mostly an ice rink and a swing set, and up off the highway slightly on Cemetery Road, you will find a cemetery that has been there since the early 1900s. Daly's Road, so named for the Daly family who had farms all along that road, Four Mile Lake Road and Feronia Road are predominantly the entrance points to Feronia off the highway.

Some time between 1906 and 1918, Maude Emma Beach became the first school teacher for the brand new one room school house built on Feronia Road. This school house serviced the farming community of the area, and it was not uncommon for children to miss school during harvest and planting time.

Gateway, one of the city's oldest residential neighbourhoods, is located immediately adjacent to the city's downtown core. The neighbourhood is centred on Algonquin Avenue.

Hornell Heights is the primary residential and institutional cluster on the grounds of CFB North Bay and Jack Garland Airport. Hornell Heights is not financially affiliated with the municipality of North Bay and is Federal land, funded and taken care of through Federal tax dollars. Currently North Bay provides transit service and snow removal service to some areas of Hornell Heights. Mail sent to this area is to be addressed to Hornell Heights, Ontario.

The Pinewood area, adjacent to Gateway, is roughly the area between Algonquin Avenue and Gormanville Road, Main West and Highway 17.

Thibeault Terrace is a residential neighbourhood located north of Highway 17 and west of the Algonquin Avenue segment of Highway 11. The neighbourhood is located between the escarpment and McKeown Avenue.
