Custom Stickers & Labels — Matheson, Ontario

Matheson is the Black Thursday Forest Fire Memorial community — where the 1916 Matheson Fire, the deadliest wildfire in Ontario's history, destroyed 500,000 acres and killed 244 people — the Timiskaming District community on the Black River where the Black Thursday Interpretive Site (commemorating the July 29, 1916 firestorm that swept from Cochrane to Matheson in hours, driven by drought and wind, incinerating homestead farms, logging camps, and the settlement corridor that had been opened by the Temiskaming & Northern Ontario Railway just 10 years earlier) and the Matheson Heritage Museum (preserving the complete story of Northern Ontario's fire history and the post-fire reconstruction that rebuilt the entire district) define a community whose survival story is one of Ontario's most extraordinary.
