A Canadian legend paints on forever.

The rugged beauty of the Canadian Shield landscape has been captured by many painters, but perhaps most famously by Tom Thomson, whose work inspired the “Group Of Seven” artists.

Tom died mysteriously in an accident on Canoe Lake in Algonquin Provincial Park in 1917, aged 39. The true cause of his death is unknown and another Canadian icon, the late Gord Downie (along with his band The Tragically Hip) wrote a song called “Three Pistols” speculating about his demise.

You can visit a memorial to Tom Thomson by renting a canoe at the Algonquin Park Portage Store and paddling a little distance up the lake to an island where a brass plaque is mounted on a stone cairn. For those who prefer dry land, his statue, pictured above, is found in the scenic town of Huntsville in the heart of Muskoka, where many Ontarians have holiday cottages.
