Hearst is a town in the district of Cochrane, Ontario, Canada.[2][3] It is located on the Mattawishkwia River in Northern Ontario, approximately 92 kilometres (57 mi) west of Kapuskasing, approximately 520 kilometres (320 mi) east of Thunder Bay along Highway 11. At Hearst, Highway 583 extends northward to Lac-Sainte-Thérèse and southward to Jogues, Coppell and Mead.
Hearst is well-known for its prevalent French-Canadian culture. Just over 96% of the town's residents speak French as their mother language, the highest proportion in Ontario,[4] and the dialect of French in Hearst is particularly known for being nearly indistinguishable from the French spoken in Québec.[5]
