Kapuskasing is surrounded by many small communities. Therefore, our town acts as the centre of services to a population base of approximately 15,000. It is centrally located in Northern Ontario with near equal distance by air from Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury and North Bay - all major northern urban centres.
Our town is a natural distribution hub situated in Northeastern Ontario. Due to its strategic location, halfway between North Bay and Thunder Bay, Kapuskasing is both readily accessible and well-positioned to provide and distribute goods throughout Ontario. As the furthest point north accessible by road, Kapuskasing is also a major supplier and distributor of products and services to isolated communities along Hudson Bay and James Bay, as well as in northern Quebec.
Accessible by air, rail and road, Kapuskasing and the communities surrounding it benefit from its location. Along with its many natural resources, Kapuskasing possesses the potential needed to grow and expand.
