I’m Renee and presently i live in Sault ste. marie, my husband John Schell was born in North Bay in 1959.  In 1999 my son, my husband and myself were in North bay visiting his Aunt Amillia, hid mother’s sister.  I and my son had never seen North Bay before, we fell instantly in love with the city. We loved the clean streets, the board walk the parks and the closeness of the water.  it’s 13 years later and we have another addition to our family since then, our daughter Chelsea.  I can’t stop thinking about moving to North Bay, every year i say, Maybe this year we will go ” and something always comes up, a death in the family, shortage of money (thats the most comon reason), and health issues.  4 years ago our 23 year old son moved to kingston to attend college, now he’s living in ottawa.  We are very proud of his achievements and he is having a good life.  however we miss him terribly, and well the soo is very far away, now for the whople new reason to be in North Bay.  If we w  ere there we would be closer to him and he could come for visits more often, he misses us terribly as we do him.  so we are not giving up hope that one day a miricle will happen and we can have our little family back together and spend some more time with Aunt Amillia.  Thank You for creating this site and giving me an oppportunity to share our story.
