Our Internet Service
Provider:
The Nitesky homepage is now hosted by Thunder Bay Internet. We believe them to be the very best that the Thunder Bay area has to offer and have found it easy to set up a connection. Even way out here in Nolalu they have provided us with a DSL connection.
Local Things of Interest:

Kakabeka Falls (pics)- 'Niagara of the North'. At 128' this falls is almost as high as Niagara (Niagara being an average 172' high) and though it is not as wide, it is Canadian on BOTH sides.

Nice pics of the falls during a rare event when the Electric Company is not diverting most of the water for their own uses.
