This Town has an unbreakable bond with the Canadian Pacific Railroad (CPR). Established as a key division point along the North Shore of Lake Superior for the CPR since operations began in 1885, Schreiber has seen all of the changes in this national link as Canada has evolved and grown over the years. Mining for Precious Metals and Base Metals has been featured in the area over the last century.
