Timiskaming Square was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 08 March 2013 with a consensus to merge. Its contents were merged into Temiskaming Shores. The original page is now a redirect to this page. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected article, please see its history; for its talk page, see here.

A considerable amount of action is taking place in Temiskaming Shores. The citizens have formed a group called Tembrella to encourage the growth of ideas and the sharing of information in the community.

I removed the second and third paragraphs from the article as they are not proper to an encyclopedia. Temiskaming Shores may be an attractive travel destination, but probably not a "tourist mecca" (unless outside sources/statistics can be cited to this effect.) Also, the Tembrella website belongs at the bottom of the article as an outside link, not its own paragraph in the body of the article. Please keep this in mind before making future edits.

Corey Perry[edit]

I want to add something on the page about Corey Perry. Although most sources show his hometown as Peterborough, I know for a fact that he was born here and moved to Peterborough later... His article currently shows his place of birth as Haileybury, although if he was born at the hospital, it would actually be New Liskeard. Can't find any sources to verify this though. Can anyone help? 209.105.207.181 03:55, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Timiskaming vs. Temiskaming[edit]

The name of the city is Temiskaming Shores, but both the provincial and federal governments refer to Timiskaming with an "i". The proper name of the lake is also Timiskaming (unless someone can suggest an outside source to justify the alternate spelling...) 142.217.16.115 06:31, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The spelling variation seems worth mentioning in the article. —rybec 01:52, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tri-Towns[edit]

Some may see the word 'Tri-Towns' as passé, but it certainly hasn't fallen into disuse, so, in the spirit of NPOV, I have removed the reference to this term being "passé" as well as the dissenting opinion at the bottom... 216.167.244.113 22:30, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Population counts[edit]

Have updated the population counts with the numbers from the 2001 Canada Census [1]. This was the last census that counted Haileybury, New Liskeard, and Dymond separately, and is to my knowledge the most accurate source to cite these figures from. 209.105.207.181 (talk) 04:26, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Surveying benchmark[edit]

I removed the reference to accurate surveys being done prior to 1890 in this area. Before 1890 the closest benchmark, or accurately known position, was in Mattawa. If you don't know where you are you can't do an accurate survey. Zen-in (talk) 15:20, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Page move[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The decision was to move the page to Temiskaming Shores

I propose that this article be moved to Temiskaming Shores, which is currently a redirect here, per WP:CANSTYLE naming conventions. There is no evidence of any other notable use for the name. Bearcat (talk) 00:08, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support as there does not appear to be any need for the disambiguation. DoubleBlue (talk) 05:05, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support. For some reason, I thought we had done this one already. Mind matrix 14:24, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I had the same cognitive dissonance over last summer's Owen Sound move. Bearcat (talk) 01:50, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

media[edit]

I think it would be more accurate to say that the main local newspaper is the Temiskaming Speaker, the Northern News (formerly Northern Daily News) is the Kirkland Lake Paper although it does carry content from Temiskaming Shores. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rev40 (talk • contribs) 18:01, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
