The Lac des Mille Lacs and Upsala area, located about 140 km northwest of Thunder Bay Ont., is about to get some higher profile attention thanks to a new tourism campaign.
A volunteer group with connections to the area wants to raise its profile with a publication, website, social media and billboard campaign.
Jenny Veal, one of the people working on the Upsala/Lac des Mille Lacs tourism initiative, said the area has much to offer for people looking for adventure close to Thunder Bay, especially as many people are trying to stay home because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
