		<description><![CDATA[Ancient peoples believed the Great Spirit needed a place of peace and beauty to call home.  Legends say Manitoulin is that place.

A curve of white beach against calm blue water with sailboats on the horizon.  A rocky, windswept point where great waves crash in as the sun sets red.  Still green fields that roll down towards a sparkling bay. A quiet night under a sky that is a sanctuary for stars.

This is Manitoulin Island.

This podcast is dedicated to those who are curious about Manitoulin Island, the largest freshwater island in the world. It's filled with images and motion and music that speaks to the exceptional quality of life on our beautiful island.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Treasure Island is a jewel set in the turquoise waters of Lake Mindemoya. The long sandy beach at Providence Bay with a boardwalk traversing the accompanying sand dunes is a model of tasteful conservation and use of a beach area. At the end of the walk is a new Interpretive Centre, built of the very coral reef limestone that is the backbone of the Manitoulin Island. Lake Manitou is the largest and deepest lake on the Island and is used year round for activities such as boating, swimming, fishing and snowmobiling. Other lakes include Big Lake, Pine Lake, Martin Lake, Windfall Lake and Snow Lake. The Mindemoya and Manitou Rivers flow from their respective lakes and find their way to the south shore of Manitoulin Island. Rainbow trout and salmon spawn in these rivers. A large tract of Carolinian forest with maples, oaks, ironwoods, poplars and white cedar stretches from Mindemoya to Sandfield and beyond, providing a habitat for a healthy Whitetail deer population, a Sandhill crane staging area. The township is on a major North American migratory bird flyway.

The area offers a diversity of attractions and unique landmarks. Treasure Island is a jewel set in the turquoise waters of Lake Mindemoya.

			<description><![CDATA[The community of Manitowaning lies nestled in a picturesque bay side setting on eastern Manitoulin Island, ten miles from the North Channel - yesterday’s Voyageur trade route and today’s internationally popular cruising destination.
 
In 1836 a treaty was developed declaring the entire Island of Manitoulin as a Native Reserve.  The town of Manitowaning (originally termed "The Establishment") was established as a joint experimental project by Anglican missionaries and the Canadian government as an effort to achieve a settled agrarian life for aboriginals.  The mission (later deemed a failure and abandoned) steadily evolved through a revised treaty in 1855 that opened the Island to non-Native settlement, thereby establishing Manitowaning as the first European community and main shipping port.

			<description><![CDATA[The Norisle was retired from service in 1974 and later purchased by the Township of Assiginack in 1975 (for the sum of $1.00) to serve as a floating marine museum and tourist attraction for the community of Manitowaning (now berthed at Bay Street Marina).  Over the years, the ship has provided thousands of visitors with a “hands-on” interpretation of what earlier marine transportation was like on the Great Lakes.  Most recently, she also served as a training ground and summer camp for the Sudbury based Navy League and Sea Cadets.
