The Town of Parry Sound is charting a course for the future! The major commercial hub for Northeastern Georgian Bay, this vibrant centre serves a population of over 15,000 and is little more than two hours by four-lane divided highway from Toronto, Canada's largest metropolis. Our location on spectacular Georgian Bay, adjacent to the 30,000 Islands, has made our community a prime visitor destination for several generations - in fact, the summer population of the region swells to over 75,000 people, residing in many thousands of cottages in the region, over 100 resorts, several provincial parks, and at more than a dozen marinas.
