Red Lake, Ontario: Not "Red Lake Ontario" – Two Separate Places

Clarification

"Red Lake Ontario" is not a single place name. There are two distinct entities:

1. Red Lake (Municipality): Northwestern Ontario mining town (pop. ~4,100). Includes Balmertown, Cochenour, Madsen, Red Lake proper. Gold mines (Evolution, PureGold). Access: Hwy 105 from Vermilion Bay (Hwy 17), or Red Lake Airport (YRL).
2. Lake Ontario: One of the five Great Lakes, southern border of Ontario province. Major cities on shore: Toronto, Hamilton, Kingston, Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Distance Between Them

~1,500 km (930 mi) by road (Red Lake → Thunder Bay → Sault Ste. Marie → Sudbury → Toronto). 20+ hours driving.

Why the Confusion?

Format "Red Lake, Ontario" (town, province) vs. "Lake Ontario" (lake). Always use comma for municipality.
