Wahnapitae, Ontario
Wahnapitae is a community in the Ontario city of Greater Sudbury. The community takes its name from the Wanapitei River, which flows through Wahnapitae, and whose name in turn comes from the Ojibwe word Wahnabitaybing, which means "tooth" and describes the shape of Lake Wanapitei. The correct spelling of the community's name should not be confused with the correct spelling for the water bodies.
From 1973 to 2000, Wahnapitae was part of the town of Nickel Centre, in the Regional Municipality of Sudbury. On January 1, 2001, the Regional Municipality was dissolved into the single-tier City of Greater Sudbury.
