KNOWLEDGE OF Kapuskasing
Kapuskasing (2001 population 9,238) is a town on the Kapuskasing River in the Cochrane District of northern Ontario, Canada.
Kapuskasing is the largest community located directly along Highway 11 between Thunder Bay and Temiskaming Shores. The town is also served by Kapuskasing Airport with scheduled passenger service and general aviation. The word Kapuskasing means "bend in the river" as the Kapuskasing river bends within the town.
The town was founded in the early 20th century when the forerunner of the Canadian National Railway was built through the area. During World War I it was the site of an internment camp that held over 1,200 German, Austrian, Ukrainian, and Turkish prisoners.
After the war, a paper mill was established. The mill, now owned by Tembec, is still the town's major employer.
General Motors Canada operates the GM Cold Weather Development Centre at Kapuskasing. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada operates an agricultural experiment station, or Experimental Farm, close to the town.
