History and Heritage

The Midcontinent Terminal is situated on two historical properties. One property was used by the Canadian National Railway (CN) to transport coal in the 1800s. It then became home to a large milling operation run by Northern Wood Preservers, followed by Northern Sawmills.

The other property holds an iron ore dock (IOD) built by CN. It was operational from the end of the Second World War to the early 80s when it was abandoned. There are plans in place to bring the IOD back to use with the opening of new iron mines in Northwestern Ontario.
