Elliot Lake, Ontario

Elliot Lake (2001 population 11,956) is a city in northern Ontario, Canada.

The town was first established as a uranium mining town in 1958. However, when the mine ran out in the 1980s, the town looked elsewhere for its survival. Now, tourism is a major business in Elliot Lake, and the town is actively seeking retirees to move there.
