Little Current, Ontario
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Little Current is a community in the Canadian province of Ontario. It is located on Manitoulin Island, in the town of Northeastern Manitoulin and the Islands.
Little Current is well known as being a site of one of the world's few remaining swing bridges. The bridge, located on Highway 6, crosses the North Channel of Lake Huron to the mainland, where the highway continues northward to Espanola.
Each year the town hosts "Haweater Weekend," a weeklong celebration which takes its name from the Haweaters, the name given to one who is born on Manitoulin Island. The main celebrations take place on the first weekend of August, and include a fireworks display, a video dance, street vendors, and a parade.
