Situated in Ontario's Far North, Red Lake sits close to the Trans-Canada Highway minutes from Vermillion Bay in beautiful Sunset Country.  Home to 5,000 people, it's is a haven for sports fishermen and cottagers alike. 

Most people visit Red Lake for its natural beauty.  The abundant wildlife, parks, peaceful scenery are perfect conditions for experiencing incredible Ontario fishing in the many freshwater lakes.  More than 100 fishing and hunting lodges act as a starting point to any weekend out.  Although it's remote, some find it better to fly-in at one of the serveral outposts. 

Each Winter an ice fishing derby and the cross country ski runs attracts thousands to the lake itself. During Spring and Summer, fly-fishing is the norm.  Recently, Wintariofan dollars helped back several fishing derbys, including the annual Winter Curling bonspiel at the Co  Arena.  In the town two arenas are the centre points to recreation.    Red Lake is also a mining community, which provides economic growth for the Kenora Township District with its vast mineral mines.  Even gold can be found.      

For education, young residents attend the Red Lake District High School.  The school specializes in  compulsary subjects, preparing students for post secondary education.   

Wintariofan Lottery thanks the Municipality of Red Lake for inviting the draw to such a beautiful part of Ontario.
