Midland
Situated at the gateway to Georgian Bay's picturesque 30,000 Islands. Midland is culturally rich and has become the nerve center of North Simcoe for economic prosperity. There is an abundance of recreational pursuits, great shopping, fine dining, friendly merchants, a pleasing breeze which blows up from the bay and some fantastic murals. Home to Discovery Harbour, Huronia Museum, King's Wharf Theatre, Martyrs' Shrine, Midland Cultural Centre, Miss Midland Boat Tours, Saint-Marie Among the Hurons, and the Wye Marsh, Midland is the place to visit - hope to see you soon!
