Border Crossing & Passports
You will need a valid US passport or pass card to get back into the United States. You will be asked as you enter Ontario for your passport to prove your citizenship. Children traveling with only one parent, should carry a consent letter from the other parent and have it notarized. It's a good idea to call ahead prior to crossing to see what items are not allowed in Canada. Do not always rely on websites, always call to stay up to date. Show respect, be honest, and cordial.
Armstrong
It's a small community that offers the staples you need if you happen to run low on supplies. A general store offers everything from a gallon of milk to a gallon of paint and a small selection of liquor and beer. The Mini-Mart Gas station is located next to Chateau North Restaurant & Motel. A small post office, health clinic, Ontario Police Department and a medic helicopter are also part of the community. A restaurant is located on King St as well as Queen St. just as you enter town. An unmanned, 4200ft blacktop airstrip is located on Memorial Ave (aka Jackfish Rd) approx. 7.5 miles from Armstrong. Fly-in or drive-in, we'll be there to greet you.
