Waterfront Master Plan

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.

The Town of Parry Sound is undertaking a process to update the Waterfront Master Plan and invites community residents and visitors to get involved. 

Through this process, we are looking to explore and update the Vision of what the waterfront could become over time. To do that, we need to understand what is important to you. 

This is your Town. This is your waterfront. Let's plan the future together!

The Town has retained MHBC Planning to assist with the Waterfront Master Plan and hosted a kick-off event on October 7, 2024. In concurrence with the Official Plan update, the following are some of the key components of the WMP project:

Throughout the project, there will be opportunities to be involved such as providing feedback and community engagement sessions. The Town will provide notice of these opportunities and welcome your feedback.
