Halfway between Thunder Bay and Winnipeg, north of the Trans-Canada Highway, Sioux Lookout sits nestled on the lakeshores of Pelican, Abram and Lac Seul with the rugged Canadian Shield as our backdrop. Our scenic Municipality boasts a culturally diverse population of over 5,500 residents and we are proud to be the true “Hub of the North”, providing essential services to 25,000 people in 29 remote First Nation communities.

The Sioux Lookout area has a very

rich history as a result of its location on the traditional lands of the Ojibway First Nations. Local archaeological data and artifacts have been discovered that date back 5,000-7,000 years. The name Sioux Lookout is a reflection of its strategic location, from where early canoe brigades using the English River system could be sighted from a great distance.

Today, Sioux Lookout is a renowned, year-round tourist destination. Visitors and residents alike take advantage of a wide variety of outdoor recreational and sporting opportunities including water sports, hiking, cross country skiing, snowmobiling and incredible fishing!

Sioux Lookout is also on a major growth curve with over $200 million in capital projects recently completed including new state-of-the-art hospital; heritage train station redevelopment; cultural centre for youth and the arts; downtown revitalization project; airport expansion; and an increase in serviced residential and commercial land.

Whether you are considering a visit to our community, or a permanent move, we welcome you to this beautiful and unique wilderness community that we call home!

The municipality of 5,000 residents is an amalgamation of the former towns of Beardmore, Geraldton, Nakina and Longlac, and the unincorporated areas of Caramat, MacDiarmid and Jellicoe that shares its regional borders with its First Nation neighbours from Aroland, Ginoogaming, Animbiigoo-Zaagi’gan Anishinaabek (Lake Nipigon Ojibway), Long Lake #58, Biinjitwaabik Zaaging Anishnaabek (BZA) (Rocky Bay), and Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabek (Sand Point).

Throughout the year, come see a traditional Pow wow in all its Native splendour or attend one of Greenstone’s popular golf tournaments, poker rallys or winter carnivals.

Travellers usually find their way to Greenstone by car or RV on Highway 11; by train on VIA Rail; or by plane through one of Greenstone’s two airports which play an intricate role in connecting the community to other hubs of economic growth and opportunities -including Marten Falls and the city of Thunder Bay- providing passenger, cargo freight, and customized charter services.
