Mayor's Message

On behalf of Iroquois Falls town council, municipal staff and residents of our community, may I extend a hearty welcome as you take time to visit and browse through our municipal website.

The vibrant community of Iroquois Falls is located a few miles off Highway 11. You can access many necessities such as a modern hospital, restaurants, groceries and of course coffee! Iroquois Falls population of 4,729 residents is largely bilingual (French and English) with a very notable presence of Italian, Polish and Finnish cultural heritages.

Our community serves a broader referral region of approximately 6,500 people, with a modern 34 bed hospital, soon to be supplemented with the addition of a 15,000 sq. ft. medical clinic, providing a much broader level of primary care to our community and surrounding areas.

The Jus Jordan Arena and Iroquois Falls Sports Complex continues to be regarded as one of the finest sports facilities in the province, having an arena seating capacity of 1,600 and the home of the Abitibi Eskimos (Eskis) Junior A Hockey Club,the pride of our entire region.

Iroquois Falls is the center of the true lifestyle of Northern Ontario.  The area boasts numerous outdoor activities, including a winter Lake Trout Derby, the annual Search for Moby Pike Tournament, as well as the renowned Porquis Blues Festival.  Iroquois Falls plays host to numerous outdoor activities which includes boating, snowmobiling, ATVing, fishing, hunting and boasts many other leisure activities in our many lakes and forests.

As with many other northern communities, Iroquois Falls relies heavily on the forest industry to sustain its community, with AbitibiBowater being the major employer, producing high quality newsprint and specialty products. The Monteith Correctional Complex is also situated within our boundaries.

We hope you enjoy our website and please come and visit us and enjoy our superb and friendly northern hospitality.
