Fort Lac La Pluie

I have visited the location shown below but have been unable to locate this plaque there.

If anyone locates it and takes a clear close-up digital photo of this plaque
(see location below) and emails it to me (see menu above),
I will post it here and give that person credit as the photographer.

Plaque Location

Plaque Summary from the Ontario Heritage Trust's website

An important North West Company post situated between the Red River and Fort William, Fort Lac La Pluie (or Rainy Lake House) was the centre of much activity in the fur trade during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It served as a meeting place for traders from Montreal in the east and those from the Athabaska country to the west.
