Thunder Bay: In Search of the Sleeping Giant

On this episode of CG Kids, Eldon sends Idee and Sid to Thunder Bay, Ontario, the largest city on the shore of Lake Superior to find and interview the infamous Sleeping Giant. Along the way, they meet Adam Moir, Natural Heritage Education Leader for Sleeping Giant Provincial Park. Adam takes them on a hike to the bottom of Ouimet Canyon, also known as the Grand Canyon of the North. It's so deep that sunlight never reaches the bottom and chunks of snow and ice, along with arctic plants are a common sight - even in July! Next, it's over to Silver Islet. Once the largest silver mine in the world, it's now a ghost town with a permanent population of three. There, Sid and Idee meet Cam Snell, Sleeping Giant Provincial Park Superintendent and Silver Islet resident who takes them on a tour of his completely alternatively powered house. When Sid and Idee finally climb up on the Sleeping Giant's knee, they get to see what this big guy is really made of.
