The Iron City: An American outpost in the heart of Ontario cottage country — via financialpost

The Americans have been coming to this outpost since 1901, and there is no sign — short of an anomaly, such as the border-closing pandemic summer of 2020 — that they ever intend to stop. Theirs is a reliable summer tide of happy, vacationing folk, a migration area businesses count upon for an injection of precious tourist dollars derived from an American bunch who aren’t simply passing through, but have stuck around for almost 125 years.

“Our cottages are all pretty pathetic, because we want to live in the middle of nature,” said Steffey, who has held an assortment of senior executive positions throughout his career, including being the former chief executive officer of an Australian insurance company.Nick Steffey, Iron City resident

“I would never work for people who I didn’t appreciate — and these are great people,” Moe Gregoire, the club’s year-round, live-in caretaker, said. The summer community is not without its Canadian content.

Numbered among the outsiders are the Lawson family.
