Eva Marion Lake
Eva Marion Lake is a local services board in the Canadian province of Ontario, consisting of much of the portion of the Rainy River District lying east of Atikokan, including the communities of Sapawe and Kawene.[1]
The area is counted as part of Rainy River, Unorganized, Ontario in Statistics Canada census data. Nearby places of interest include Quetico Provincial Park, Quetico Centre and Quetico North.
The board's current status is uncertain. A 2008 memorandum by Ontario's Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative indicated that the local services board of Eva Marion Lake was in the process of dissolution;[2] however, the April 2009 revision of the province's Northern Service Boards Act still listed it as an active LSB.[1]
