These are just a few of the innovative and celebrated
historical moments that the Town of Hudson Bay is proud of. Today
Hudson Bay is still a major junction with the railway running in
three directions, and the highway running in all four directions.
Things have changed, and come and gone, like in any community, but
the warmth, friendliness and pioneering spirit lives on.
