SOUTHERN GEORGIAN BAY, ONTARIO CANADA

REPRESENTING: Towns of Midland and Penetanguishene and the

Townships of Tay and Tiny It is our great pleasure to introduce to you the Southern Georgian Bay area. Located in the heart of Central Ontario on the southern shores of Georgian Bay, which is the gateway to the picturesque 30,000 islands. The area is 142 kilometers (85 miles) north of Metropolitan Toronto and is easily accessible to Highway 400 via Highway 12, 27 and 93. BRIEF HISTORY: The area known as Southern Georgian Bay was first inhabited by the Huron people (or Ouendat as they called themselves) over 500 years ago and was the heartland of the Huron nation. Today, this heritage is portrayed in full, three-dimensional detail at the Huron Indian Village. This was Canada’s first recreated Indian Village. In 1610, Samuel de Champlain sent Etienne Brule to live with the Huron and learn about their language and culture. By 1639, French Jesuits founded Sainte-Marie among the Hurons on the Wye River near Georgian Bay. Here, Ontario’s first European style farm flourished. Sainte-Marie was the earliest European community in what is now Ontario. The Jesuits spent most of their time evangelizing in the surrounding Huron villages. For these priests, Sainte-Marie was a place of retreat and spiritual refreshment. In 1648, the mission appeared to prosper, but tragedy struck the Huron. Fur-trading power struggles between the Huron and Iroquois intensified. Backed by English and Dutch traders, the Iroquois attacked the Huron nation and dispersed them. In 1649, Jean de Brebeuf and Gabriel Lalemant were martyred at St. Ignace near present day Victoria Harbour. The same year, the Jesuits and some Huron survivors burned and abandoned Sainte–Marie. Many local landmarks remember the stories of the Frenchmen in Huronia. Extensive archaeological and historical research enabled today’s recreation of Sainte-Marie among the Hurons on its original site. Across the highway stands the Martyrs’ Shrine; this commemorates the eight Canadian Martyrs. Thousands of people annually visit this historic hillside with a view of the Wye Valley. In 1793, Lieutenant John Graves Simcoe judged Penetanguishene Bay ideal for Great Lakes naval strategy. The events of the War of 1812 highlighted the importance of a base on the upper Great Lakes, Penetanguishene became a depot for decommissioned naval vessels. Among the vessels moored at the


4

King’s Wharf were the 124–foot HMS Tecumseth and the 78–foot HMS Bee and a fleet of smaller vessels. By 1820, the base maintained over 20 vessels, supplied British posts to the northwest and housed over 70 personnel. Admiralty surveyor Henry Bayfield came to the base to chart Georgian Bay, Lake Huron, and Lake Superior. In 1834, the Royal Navy left the base due to the high upkeep to the wooden vessels. The introduction of steam ships revolutionized traditional marine navigation through the Welland Canal. At the time, members of the 68th

Regiment were posted to the base and then joined by British army pensioners. The community grew to be the largest on Georgian Bay. The improved military climate in 1856 encouraged the British government to close the garrison and the property was given to the government of Upper Canada. A boys reformatory was established in the military buildings. New buildings appeared on the site and in 1904, the Ontario government took over the entire complex as a reformatory and later a mental health facility. Today, the Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care occupies the hilltop, while the land below comprises a historic attraction, Discovery Harbour. Immigrants and farming families came to the area in the 1840’s. They established new lives and brought skills with them that would prove valuable in the newly created settlements. From Champlain County in Quebec came a group of farmers who settled primarily in Lafontaine. Then lumberjacks and timber smiths relocated in Perkinsfield. Penetanguishene became a lively hub as lumber mills, gristmills and transportation connections generated a growth boom. In 1871, Thomas Gladstane, the first postmaster and merchant, built a store and H.H. Cook constructed a large lumber operation along the shore in Midland. The steamer Gore ran weekly routes from Southern Georgian Bay to Sault Ste. Marie and stagecoach services ran weekly to Barrie. In 1874, the North Simcoe Railway established a route in Penetanguishene and the Midland Railway Corporation of Port Hope. The area became an important command centre of the Georgian Bay water and land based railway systems. SOUTHERN GEORGIAN BAY experienced an unprecedented expansion of industrial, commercial and tourism businesses that established Midland as the western terminus of its operations in 1879. In the early 1900’s the S.S. Keewatin was built for the Canadian Pacific Railway in Greenock, Scotland. She sailed her maiden voyage on September 14, 1907, arriving in Montreal, Quebec on September 23, 1907. Once she entered the entrance to the Welland Canal, she was separated into 2 sections for passage through the Welland Canal, and was reunited in Buffalo, New York. The S.S. Keewatin went into regular service between Owen Sound, Port Arthur and Fort William (Thunder Bay) in Lake Superior on October 7, 1908. A new depot facility opened in 1912, shifting the S.S. Keewatin’s home to Port McNicoll, Ontario.

For over 50 years this lovely steamer was destined to make history as she served as a railway link, connecting Georgian Bay and upper Lake Superior railheads. She was the last of the classic Great Lakes passenger steamships and was retired on November 29, 1965. For the past 42 years the Keewatin has been docked as a floating museum in Douglas, Michigan and in 2007 turned 100 years old. In 2012 the Keewatin was returned to Port McNicoll. In the early 1900’s Southern Georgian Bay welcomed many to the area. Some included the Group of Seven (renowned artists), who left us a rich and vibrant pictorial legacy of our bay and it’s 30,000 islands, and Orville Wright, the great aviator who spent 25 years by the east shores of Georgian Bay in Cognashene. Since the 1950’s, companies like Ernst Leitz Canada (now ELCAN), Techform, CCL Containers, TRW, Baytech Plastics, Weber, Franke, General Mills have moved to the area to enrich the economic base. Without people, there is no community. Internationally renowned individuals, such as Brian Orser (skater), Angela Schmidt–Foster (x-country skier), Cindy Thompson (dancer), and Russ & Glen Howard (curlers) have called this area home. Today, Southern Georgian Bay takes pride in its diversified industrial manufacturing base, a variety of retail service sectors, heritage tourism attractions, and a strong sense of community!
