Weather Trivia
Did you know that Fort Severn is Canada’s northernmost community in Ontario? It’s so far north that during this time of year, daylight hours are just over six, with sunrise around 9:00 AM and sunset by 3:30 PM. The community’s unique location along Hudson Bay makes it prone to strong winds and chilly maritime conditions, even in autumn!
