Waterfront Master Plan

The final draft of the Waterfront Master Plan is now substantially approved as per Resolution 2026-026

The waterfront is one of the defining features of the Town of Parry Sound. Set on the shores of Georgian Bay, the waterfront and harbour area are accentuated by the rugged Canadian Shield and tall pine trees, offering spectacular vistas with access to Georgian Bay and the 30,000 islands archipelago.

Parry Sound's waterfront is a gathering place on the shores of magnificent Georgian Bay, a special place that is cherished and visited often by local residents and tourists alike. It is a place where land meets water, where culture meets nature, a place of vitality and economic opportunity.

A Waterfront Master Plan describes and illustrates the vision of the future of the waterfront, and sets out principles to guide decision making and investment. Any development should include a commitment to maintain public access along the water's edge, open views of the harbor and Seguin River, and connected systems of public spaces and pedestrian routes.
