Municipality in Ontario, Canada
Sioux Lookout is a town in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. Located approximately 350 km (220 mi) northwest of Thunder Bay, it has a population of 5,272 people (up 4.7% since 2011), an elevation of 390 m, and its boundaries cover an area of 536 km², of which 157 is lake and wetlands. Known locally as the "Hub of the North", it is serviced by the Sioux Lookout Airport, Highway 72, and the Sioux Lookout railway station. According to a 2011 study commissioned by the municipality, health care and social services ranked as the largest sources of employment, followed by the retail trade, public administration, transportation and warehousing, manufacturing, accommodation and food services, and education. Although downtown Sioux Lookout is located 71 kilometres from the Trans-Canada highway, the municipality covers the ends or beginnings of provincial highways 664, 642, 516, and 72. Sioux Lookout is also a key airport hub for numerous northern and indigenous communities in Northwestern Ontario and remains a service stop for VIA Rail's Canadian train and a busy railway junction for the northwestern Ontario segment of Canadian National Railway's transcontinental Class 1 railroad. Fishing camps in the area allow access to an extensive lake system fed by the English River. The town is surrounded by several beaches, including Umphreville Park, a historical site that predates the town itself. During the summer months, Sioux Lookout's population rises as tourists, mostly American, arrive to take advantage of the multitude of lakes and rivers in the area. Experienced guides, employed by the camps, can locate the best locations and also provide an educated tour of the unique land known affectionately as "sunset country". .... Learn more at Wikipedia
