On the one hand, the government (specifically the MTO, the only ministry that cared at the time) has been using the "southern border of Parry Sound district" definition for at least 35 years. It was on the forms when I applied for my first driver's license, if I recall correctly.

On the other hand, I don't claim that "Parry Sound district" necessarily covers the same geographical location now that it did back then.

On the third hand, if I were drawing an "I think this is northern Ontario" line, it would be at about the latitude of North Bay, but that's just my opinion and has no authority. At least the government definition is official.

On the fourth hand, I think I've visited the actual town of Parry Sound for all of one hour thirty-odd years ago, so I can't speak to its demographics or culture. We've almost never had any reason to detour that far from the straight shot down to Toronto along Hwy. 11.
