Sydenham Discovery
- At different times, by different people, the Sydenham River has been called Jonquakamik, Ah-yan-yon-kege, or Big Bear Creek. One tributary off of the northern branch of the river is still referred to as Bear Creek. The name Sydenham comes from Lord Sydenham, who was governor of Canada from 1839-1849.
