visit Historic Huronio lravclus bugus is sum mer epidemic that strikes everyone at least once Symptoms include the itch to travel feverish desire to ex plore and usually ends with the victim breaking out for new horizons favorite place to relieve the bug in Ontario is an area few miles north of Barrie known as Historic Huronia Day trips into Huronia the summer sun capital of Canada are sure cures for bugus WILDLIFE IINIRII For the environmentalist there is the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre on Highway 12 three miles east of Midland Through nature displays selfguiding trails or walks with naturalists Canadas northern hardwood forest can be ex amined at leisure Adjacent to the Wildlife Ccn tre is the impressive recon struction of the 17th century French Jesuit mission Saintc Maiie among the Hurons From 1639 to 1619 Saintc Maric was the central of the Jesuits Christian mission to the native Huron people and at its peak housed ti llnllliln onefifth the European popula tion of New France During the winters the Jesuits taught the Christian gospel and lived with the llurons in longhouse villages When summer came the native people embarked on hunting trips and the missionaries returned to SaintcMarie to rest reflect make their reports and talk with others of their own culture After the downfall of the Hurons in 1619 the Jesuits abandoned the missions Con sidering SaintcMarie to be ho ly ground and fearing it would be descrated by invading tribes the Jesuits sadly burned SainteMaric to the ground For 300 years SainteMarie lay buried until excavations in the late 1940s began uncover ing the ruins In 1901 reconstruction sponsored by Ontario government brought SainteMaric back to life This authentic reconstruction of ntarios first European community is great way to understand more about our Canadian heritagcln the 22 buildings the dedicated life of the Jesuit missionary is ex plained by costumed staff and in the workshops craftsmen demonstrate 17th century methods of blacksniithing carpentry and cooking PIIN DAILY SainteMarie is open daily from 10 am to ti pm until Labor Day and to pm until Thanksgiving Families can ex plorc this early anadian history for $330 adults $150 students 75 cents and children 25cents Immediately opposite Saintc Maiie is the Martyrs Shrine memorial to the eight North American martyr saints Mom its vantage point visitors can look down on the mission as ex plorers did 300 years ago different experience in Canadian history can be found at the Historic Naval and Military Establishments at the foot of Church Street in nearby Penef anguishene When the War of 181214 broke out with the United States Pcnetanguishene was chosen by the British as the perfect place to establish an active naval base on the Upper Great Lakes Its role in the defence of Canada was to protect supply routes to Fort Michili mackinac near present day Sault Ste Marie Little work was actually accomplished on the base before the end of the war and interest in it gradually declined tut Britian was determined to keep firm grip on naval superiority on the lakes and in 1817 plans for the lcne tangoishenc base were dusted off and work began in earnest again The new purpose was to keep vessels stripped of arma ment and rigging in good repair If the precarious peace was broken the ships could be quickly refitted and ready to sail Improved relations with the Americans reduced the need for an active navy on the treat Its the only way to beat the heat Theres only one way to beat the heat Travel to one of the many beaches in the Barrie region and plop yourself into the water This dad did just that at Wasaga Beach and took Lakes and by 1834 the naval base was closed Meanwhile the British military had been moved to Ienefanguishcne from Drum mond Island at the head of Lake Huron The army was to protect lines of supply and com munication between York Toronto and the north Though the military budget would not allow extensive for tification of the garrison the men did construct two stone buildings and few log struc tures Today at Penctanguishene soldiers in the red coats of the 24th Regiment of Foot still march and drill for visitors and sailors in the dockyard will explain knots and riggings to landlubbers The Historic Naval and Military Establishments are open daily from It am to pm until Labor Day Admis
