Temiskaming Shores

Temiskaming Shores

formerly  New Liskeard 

      city, Timiskaming district, eastern Ontario, Canada, at the northern end of Lake Timiskaming (an expansion of the Ottawa River), near the Quebec border. Originally known as Thornloe, the town developed on land that the provincial government opened for settlement in 1822. It was renamed New Liskeard, derived from Liskeard, Eng., the birthplace of the town's founder, John Armstrong. The city of Temiskaming Shores was created in 2004 by the merger of New Liskeard with adjacent communities.

      A market and distributing hub for the surrounding farming, lumbering, and cobalt- and silver-mining region, Temiskaming Shores also serves as a hunting and fishing resort. Industries include ironworks, dairies, canneries, and pulp and lumber mills. Pop. (2006) 33,283.
