Thunder Bay Off The Beaten Path: 22 reviews and 13 photos
Mt McKay is well known as a lookout point, but few know the story of the small chapel located there. An Ojibway village was facing a brutal winter of starvation. They didn't even have bait for ice-fishing. The Chief's daughter took a hunting knife and butchered her own legs so the men would have bait for fishing. The village was saved but the princess died and the chapel was built in her honour. It is believed that this chapel brings good luck to Thunder Bay farmers, and rain dances are still sometimes held there.
