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.

[edit] Corey Perry

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)

[edit] Timiskaming vs. Temiskaming

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)

[edit] Tri-Towns

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)

[edit] Population counts

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)
