The ride mirrors the travels of the fur traders and the military strategist, Des Troyes, who conquered James Bay in 1686.
Cochrane Winter Carnival is held the second week of February every year. It is known as the longest running winter carnival in Northern Ontario. Come and chase the winter "blahs".

Take in the Chimo Bantam Hockey Tournament, attend the Police/Firefighters hockey "grudge" match, carry a torch in the Torchlight Parade and Bonfire.
