Thessalon is a town in the Canadian province of Ontario, located at the junction of Highway 17 and Highway 129 on the north shore of Lake Huron. It is surrounded by but not part of the municipality of Huron Shores, and is part of Algoma District. The main industries are timber and tourism. The town is a popular retirement community. There is an arena and one primary school in the town. It is home to a few local celebrities, including Jackie Layer (former assistant coach of the Colorado Rockies), and Lloyd Boyer (former Montreal Canadiens prospect and small-town hockey legend). William Tremblay of the Sault Greyhounds was born here, and Angelina Napolitano, the first person in Canada to use the battered woman defence for murder, lived here briefly in the early 20th century.〔''Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online'': Angelina Napolitano.

The Thessalon River flows through the town and into Lake Huron at Water Street. Fishing is excellent in the river: yellow perch, pickerel, bass, northwater salmon and muskie. It is the administrative headquarters of the Thessalon Ojibway First Nation reserve. ==Demographics== Population trend:〔Statistics Canada: 1996, 2001, 2006 census〕 * Population in 2011: 1279 * Population in 2006: 1312 * Population in 2001: 1386 * Population in 1996: 1485 * Population in 1991: 1543 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thessalon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
