Township of Ignace

Welcome to Ignace
“You ‘otter’ be in Ignace” Ignace adopted the Canadian Otter as its mascot, recognizing the creature’s intelligence and playful spirit. The otter is an aquatic animal that swims and dives with great elegance. A favourite winter past time is sliding down snow banks. “Iggy” the White Otter hosts White Otter Days, an annual social gathering in July that features music festivals and sporting events. Situated on the shores of Agimak Lake, Ignace is a perfect place to raise a young family or settle in for life’s golden years. Ignace blends small- town comforts and neighbourly folks who are always ready to lend a helping hand. Ignace is a gateway to the remote water falls, rivers, lakes and forests that surround it. There are two white sand beaches on Agimak Lake, and a floating dock provides an enclosed area for swimmers. In colder months, Ignace transforms into a winter playground. Residents like to ski or snowshoe, and the Ignace Otters Snowmobile Club sponsors special events on the trail network. Our small town is a fusion of cultures where French, Italian, other European and First Nations people share their heritage. The splendor of the stars in the clear night sky defines the spirit of the north, reflecting our spacious and abundant landscape. |
