A wonderful cultural hub to kickoff our workshop season!
Workshop season has arrived – and we couldn’t be happier!
So bring on the brisk winds of fall, the smell of fallen leaves, the too-early Christmas decorations and the joy of another winter around the corner!
Please note: we are on the road as part of our workshop circuit from Oct 24 – Nov 9th. We will still be accepting orders at this time, and will fulfill them in the order they are received, but there may be a delay on certain items. We will contact you with an update on your order status once it is received. We apologize for any delay and thank you for your understanding.
Incredible hauling conditions on Lake Superior.

Fall is here and the snow- (and ice-) walking season is just around the corner! If you haven’t started preparing yet, you’d best get started! Our fall workshop and winter tripping schedules are now 100% complete. The next two months will see us offering a variety of workshops through NE and central Ontario in preparation for our own winter adventures. You can find all of our offerings here: http://lureofthenorth.com/calendar/
Please note: If you are interested in one of our four Canadian Canoe Museum offerings, please call the museum directly for pricing and availability

Our 3-season shipping department (it gets even more difficult in the winter!)
We’re beginning to transition to full-time living out at “the pond”. As such we’ve updated our shipping policy to reflect the practical difficulties of getting out to the nearest post office. You can read about it here:
lureofthenorth.com/shipping, or in brief:
we will now ship goods once a week, typically on Fridays.
A peaceful moment on the pond.
Things are starting to quiet down a little bit at the pond as much of the summer’s work has been completed. That has brought our thoughts back to the joy of winter travel and the importance of fall preparation!
Our preliminary schedule is now live here, but we’ll be fleshing it out with more details over the next month or so.
The veritable bible of all things traditional winter camping in the north woods is back in print, and in stock! Get it now!
We’ve had enough of this soft-water hauling already!
The summer solstice has passed and with it goes the longest day of the year. Summer may have just begun, but Winter is Coming! We’ve been quiet here at Lure this spring as we’ve been working hard to ensure we have a roof over our heads and firewood in the shed this winter, but expect to hear more from us soon as we begin crafting our fall and winter schedules!
It’s a good life!
We’re proud to announce that the Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce honoured us with the Small Enterprise award at the 2014 Bell Business Excellence Awards. A big thanks to all of our supporters who have helped to make this venture so much fun!
Update June 13:
We will be back to work and filling orders as of June 23nd.
Please note: We’re away for the week to Golden Pond, and will not be shipping any orders in the meantime. You may still place your orders so that when we get back we can fill them ASAP. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Big changes are occurring in our lives this summer as Kielyn and I begin our dream of moving to a wilderness property!

All news, no fluff! We have only ever sent out 4 - 6 newsletters a year, and always when we have a major bit of news we want to share. You know, like one of us is going to be on a fancy TV show, or we're releasing our upcoming trip or workshop schedule. Plus we also offer the occasional newsletter-only special deal!
