Background

Commissioned as one of four large-format short subject productions for
Ontario Place, Toronto - a lakeside recreation and entertainment complex
developed by the provincial government to showcase culture and tourism,
where it premiered to the public on June 11, 1971 as part of the daily
repertory screening schedule to October 11, 1971 (and also in the spring of
1972) in Cinesphere, an 800-capacity film venue designed for the first
permanent IMAX installation. Each of the four films produced for the
inaugural Cinesphere season in 1971 was a documentary portrait of one region
of the province - "Where the North Begins" being devoted to north-central
Ontario.
