Explore Parry Sound
Located approximately two hours north of Toronto and two hours south of Sudbury, Parry Sound hugs the shores of the world's largest freshwater archipelago, known as the 30,000 Islands. In 2004, UNESCO designated the region as a World Biosphere Reserve, the Georgian Bay Mnidoo Gamii Biosphere Region.
Parry Sound is rich in arts, culture and heritage. The Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts and Bobby Orr Hall of Fame are home to the international summer music festival, the Festival of the Sound. The Hall of Fame pays tribute to home-town hockey hero, Bobby Orr.
The six kilometer Rotary and the Algonquin Regiment Fitness Trail is a waterfront trail linking to the North Shore Rugged Trail. Stop along the way for a quick swim in sparkling, clean waters or enjoy a picnic at Waubuno Beach or catch a breath-taking sunset over the Bay.

The Business Park has plans to develop up to 145 acres of land for both Aviation and Non-Aviation businesses. The proximity of the Airport Business Park to Highway 400 creates easy access to the Greater Toronto Area while still being part of the gateway into Northern Ontario. This location is perfectly poised to take advantage of the emerging area while becoming a new economic hub within the region.
