History
Candy Mountain stood in Oliver Paipoonge, west of Thunder Bay in northwestern Ontario, opening in 1972 and closing in 2002. Its distinction was its chairlift, recorded as the longest in the province while it ran. Beyond the opening and closing years and that one detail, very little about the area is documented in accessible sources, and the fields here are left empty rather than filled in - the reason it shut, the lift specifications, the trail names and the fate of the infrastructure are all unrecorded. The coordinates mark Candy Mountain Drive, the road named after the hill.
