Multiple dwelling and tourism negotiating place, home and identity

As I write this, I look out over the blue, wind-ruffled waters of Amethyst Harbour, a sheltered inlet of Lake Superior in North-western Ontario, towards a ring of pine and birch-clad rocky islets. I am living in what is
known in this part of Canada as a ‘camp’. This ‘camp’ has been converted from its original seasonal status to year-round habitation. The only sign of others are a few cottages nestled among the trees around the fringes of the harbour. My community consists of some 65 lots, about one-third of the inhabitants of which, like myself, are year-round residents. The ‘campers’
join us for the summer during July and August and for weekends in May, June and part of September.
