The Final Days of the Furgary

This was the scene at North Bay yesterday afternoon. All the shacks were gone except the two shacks--#6 and #10--designated for preservation. 


The map below is from the Furgary-Shantytown Vision Plan


The shacks in red were demolished in January 2024. The shacks in white were demolished in the past week. The two shacks in yellow are to be rehabilitated. The shack in blue is to be mothballed.

Last Monday, before the demolition began, Theresa Nicholson took pictures of the shacks from her kayak. They may be the last pictures taken of the shacks. She shared them with Gossips and gave permission for me to publish them here.

  1. Sad, but not much else could have been done at this point. Those shacks were turning into a version of Norman Bates mother.
