Lodge History

Pine Portage Lodge located on Kabinakagami Lake, Watson's Algoma Vacations year round Reservation office 1-800-363-4443 is located in Wawa, Ontario, Canada
In 1941 at the age of 18 Dick Watson Sr. joined the R.C.A.F. and went to serve his country. After four years of flying fighter planes and being shot down three times, he returned home in 1945 as a war hero. It was at this time that he decided to fulfill his dreams of starting a tourism business on Kabinakagami Lake using his military earnings. Dick and his wife Edna married in 1946 and together they began to build their future at Pine Portage Lodge.

A LOOK BACK IN TIME!!!!!!

Mr. Richard Watson Sr. has always had a poem to add to our News Letters.  Since he hasn't done it for a few years I thought maybe those of you that have been with us for awhile and remember reading them or those of you that have not had the opportunity to read them would enjoy a 'Look back in Time'

KEEP YOUR HANDS ON THE WHEEL :>)

Well if you haven't been reading up on Ontario Laws here's a new one for you.

As of Monday, February 1, 2010 it is illigal to use a hand held cell phone, blackberry and other electronic devices while behind the wheel.

Hands free cell phones and some other devices are still legal to use. To find out more about the ban on hand held devices in Ontario while behind the wheel check out this link http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/safety/topics/cellular.shtml  This will give you the information you need to know before crossing the border with a hand held cell phone.
