You may be wondering why there is a Blueberry festival in a remote area of NW Ontario. Normally there aren’t many blueberries growing in the boreal forest. I came from Thompson Manitoba and there were not many blueberries at all. (only small, tiny, sweet strawberries and some raspberries.) But for over 100 years a unique environment was created through the harvesting of trees for pulp and paper. The clearing of the forest and the sandy soil has created a great environment for blueberries. I am told that one can pick the delicious berries  by the bucket. The town of Sioux Lookout has an annual Blueberry festival, held for one week where the whole town is dedicated to venerating the illustrious blueberry. Here are some pics of the festival in 2013. Enjoy.
