Georgina
a Destination for all seasons!
A visit to Georgina on the south shore of
beautiful Lake Simcoe will provide fun for
the whole family year round. Just an hour’s
drive north of Toronto, you will find one
of the finest vacation spots in the country
featuring beautiful countryside, pleasant villages with friendly people and our greatest
attraction - Lake Simcoe.
At one time, Lake Simcoe and all the lands
surrounding it were covered by a much
larger glacial lake called Lake Algonquin. It’s
still large enough to work up quite a chop on
a windy day, when sailboards and sailboats
of many kinds dot the horizon. Excellent
marinas surround the lake and offer a full
range of services.
Amazingly, for a lake so close to Toronto,

Discover GeorGina
Lake Simcoe has one of the highest fish
populations of any freshwater lake on the
continent. Avid anglers visit in every season
and almost always go home with a catch.
In winter, snowmobiles are a way of life on
Lake Simcoe and hundreds of fish hut operators will outfit and happily guide you to the
best spots to drop your line. Local anglers
and faraway visitors come and enjoy the
challenge and hospitality of the area’s fishing
derbies and competitions.
Make sure you book a stop at Georgina’s
Recreational Outdoor Campus (The ROC),
which combines high quality sports and
adventure based activities in an ultimate
outdoor playground. Feel the wind in your
hair as you enjoy the tube and terrain park
where you can whisk down more than 100
feet on its snow tube course or perfect your
snowboarding skills while playing on one of
the four available runs. For the younger set
or more cautious, the ROC’s free toboggan
hill is guaranteed fun. But if careening down
the slopes is a little too fast for your liking,
you can run, walk, hike or snowshoe on one
of the facilities many spectacular trails.
Enjoy the view of the hill from the warmth
and comfort in front of the fire in the spectacular Chalet while you grab a bite to eat or
sip a hot chocolate to warm up.
When the ice breaks up, spring brings us
boating activities of all kinds. Perch anglers
dot the shorelines and river banks. Golf
courses come alive. Scenic drives along the
lakeshore allow you to take in the beauty of the lake in its many
moods featuring the birds, clouds and sunsets for which it is
renowned.
During warm months, The ROC offers a whole host of activities
for the entire family, including a ropes course, climbing wall, 300-ft.
zip line, a water play splash pad, plenty of hiking trails, a comprehensive cycling course, and numerous volleyball, tennis and basketball
courts. Pack a lunch, get something from the Canteen or enjoy a
sit-down meal at the Chalet.
The south shore of Lake Simcoe is rich in culture, history and
nature. It has been the home of a number of famous Canadian writers, and the area is full of lovely summer homes. The tree-covered,
rolling hills and winding rivers to the south are home to many
charming and productive farms, picturesque from seed time to harvest. Georgina’s woods, hedgerows and gardens are home to wildlife
of all kinds with a splendid collection of birds, attracting “birders”
from all over.
The Sutton Fair celebrates its 160th year August 6th to the 9th.
It is one of Canada’s oldest and most popular fair & horse shows.
Georgina is also home to many festivals (See events). With its breathtaking colour, autumn is a delight to the golfer, painter or photographer. On foot or on bicycle, you can experience the fresh air, the
smell, the sounds of the lake and its river inlets with their gathering
birds and beautiful fall scenery.
Georgina has a variety of accommodations to suit every pocketbook, with friendly country inns, resorts, B&Bs, motels and cabins.
Or if camping is your thing, we have excellent trailer parks and
Sibbald Point Provincial Park, which offers hundreds of campsites
and a variety of picnic areas. Our restaurants serve everything from
fast food to fine dining - simple country fare to gourmet delights and there’s evening entertainment at your local bars and taverns.
So come and enjoy our town - Georgina
- on beautiful Lake Simcoe.

Open Water
Bass: This season starts the fourth Saturday in June and is the last species to become fair game on Lake Simcoe. Recognized as one of Canada’s
finest smallmouth bass fisheries this lake has the real potential to provide
anglers with their Personal Best smallmouth ever. Many report that
Georgina’s southeast portion of the lake is home to many of these monster smallmouths.
Simcoe is home to the record for the five heaviest bass ever weighed
in during a Canadian bass tournament. Those fish weighed a whopping
31.5 pounds caught and in the same event an 8.05 lb smallie was also
caught. Tournament anglers from across North America know the bass
here are huge but thousands of recreational anglers have also heard
about the record sized smallmouth Simcoe has to offer.
Although the weedier sections of the lake provide good largemouth
fishing, smallmouth prefer rocky shorelines, points, drop-offs and
around any one of Simcoe’s productive islands. Georgina Island is a top
producer. Rapala X Raps and the new Shadow Raps are great smallmouth
baits here, especially when there’s some chop on the water. Try the X
Rap in water less than 15 feet when bass are off bottom and the Shadow
Rap when they’re closer to bottom. When conditions are calm or bass
are inactive, try casting a Trigger X Flutter Worm rigged wacky style or
a drop shot rig for one of Simcoe’s legendary smallmouth. This lake has
become a true world-class trophy smallmouth destination thanks in no
small part to the majority of anglers who voluntarily live release most or
all of their catch, especially larger fish over 2 or 3 pounds.
A great place to access the lake in York Region for smallmouth is Sibbald
Point Provincial. Here families from across the Region and beyond come
not only to fish but to boat, picnic, camp, swim or just sunbathe on the
clean sandy beach. In 2015, this park will once again host the popular
“Learn to Fish” program and is great for newcomers to the sport.
Perch: Yellow perch are found just about everywhere and we have
both good eaters in the 8-11 inch range and plenty of those true jumbos
(some topping two pounds) that has put Simcoe on the bucket list of
so many perch fanatics. There are many excellent areas for perch, from
Cook’s Bay out of Keswick in the south all the way up to Atherly Narrows
in the north. Georgina’s shores out from the villages of Virginia, Willow
Beach, Pefferlaw, Keswick and Port Bolster however are tough to beat.
Launching your boat from Jackson’s Point at Bonnie Boats or from
Sibbald Point Provincial Park will put you in the heart of some great
perch waters. Later in the year, launching closer to Pefferlaw – like at
Quinn’s Marina on the south side of Hwy 48 will get you to the mouth
and big fall perch in no time.
Finding one or two perch usually means you have found a school so
don’t become discouraged if you don’t get bit right away. Casting a search
spoon such as a small Blue Fox Minnow Spin is a great way to locate a
school of perch. Or, try a slow troll for perch with a mid-sized original
floating Rapala. After you connect with one fish, throw a marker buoy
to the spot where the perch hit and proceed to cast to that area with jigs
or even a modified drop-shot rig. Instead of the weight on bottom, I’ll
often use a Lil Foxee jig, and above that on the hook I’ll add a soft, lifelike,
Trigger X minnow or if they’re really finicky- their new Probe Worm.
Many perch experts on Simcoe are forgoing the use of live minnows in
favor of productive artificials like these.
In the fall, large flotillas of boats can often be seen out from the
Pefferlaw River and these are filled with anglers having a blast fishing
Simcoe’s famous jumbo perch. Our perch are extremely plentiful, but
in order to sustain a true trophy perch fishery, we ask anglers to release
those precious perch over 12 inches. This way we can all do our part to
conserve this great fishery for future generations.
Big Spring Opener! Not many lakes in Ontario have three Big Time
species all opening on the same day but that is certainly the case for Lake
Simcoe. Northern pike, lake trout and whitefish all open on the 2nd
Saturday in May. The more elusive yet trophy sized walleye opens then
too, but they are more of an incidental catch. And in 2015, for the first
time since 2002, a spring cisco (lake herring) fishery will open on the 2nd
Saturday in May as well.
Pike: The shallow, weedy areas in York Region’s Cooks Bay likely hold
more pike than the rest of the lake combined! It’s here that the Aurora

Bassmasters club hold their annual Spring Open Pike tournament out of Keswick’s popular Boston Pizza plaza. Productive
pike techniques include trolling or casting large Blue Fox
Spinners along weedlines and Rapala X Raps overtop weedbeds. When pike are inactive make long casts with jigs and soft
plastics or try some of the Storm swimbaits near the aquatic
plants that pike love.
Lakers and Whities: After the opener boats gather out from
the Willow Beach and Jacksons Point area for big specimens of
either fish that hang around until mid-late June. Their season
closes Sept 30th and reopens Jan 1 for ice fishing. Various jigging spoons produce but the Blue Fox Moresilda spoon jigged
vertically below the boat in 60-75 feet of water comes highly
recommended. The Lil Foxee Jigging Minnow worked right on
bottom is great for whitefish. With more whitefish now feeding on gobies however, be sure to try the Storm Goby swim
bait and work it with little twitches right on bottom. This
will mimic the goby behaviour and should pay big dividends.
For deepwater whitie or laker fishing, you are fishing blind if
you don’t use a high quality sonar to look for the right depth,
baitfish and the big fish you’re after. The full colour Lowrance
High Def Units give unsurpassed clarity and quality even at the
depths these fish reside.
Visitors and residents alike will want to insert the latest
Navionics Canada Gold 2XG chip into their sonar’s that
will give a complete digital map of Lake Simcoe showing
depth contours, shoals and other likely fishing spots. With
Lowrance’s built in GPS, you can also save your Simcoe hot
spots and revisit them easily to help increase your odds.
WINter FISHING:
If you enjoyed fishing Simcoe during the open water season,
then we welcome you back with open arms to try the great
sport of ice fishing here. With several ice hut operators in
Georgina it makes it easy for families and others to try this
great winter sport. For active, hard core ice anglers, the quality
and quantity of fish available, brings them back year after year.
MNRF stocks 50,000 lake trout and ~140,000 whitefish into the lake each year
and there is evidence of natural reproduction for both as well. Yellow perch are
still the most sought after species during the hard water season on Simcoe, simply
because of the quality and quantity of perch here. In 2015, the highly acclaimed
“Perchin for MS” derby out of Sibbald’s Point attracted 450 anglers and the winners
had over 10 pounds for their heaviest 10 perch.
Whether you are one of the thousands of visiting anglers or a local Georgina
resident, you need go no further than out from the shores of one of our lakeside
communities, for some tasty Lake Simcoe fish caught through the ice.
For more information on Lake Simcoe fishing regulations check out www.mnr.
gov.on.ca Here you can also log onto the new interactive Fish on Line link with
Google Maps and learn all about the fish from Lake Simcoe.
For all Lake Simcoe anglers regardless of whether you are a pro or just fish for
fun … remember, regardless of the season, the future of fishing is in your hands.
Please practice selective harvest and catch and release to ensure the great fishing
opportunities remain for future generations.

the entire year, but each community comes alive during the summer
months.
The streets of the main uptown Keswick area get closed off to traffic
and opened up to the public for its two feature festival attractions.
Music in the Streets offers free live entertainment throughout the day
in June, including students from Connors Music, local bands, choirs and
theatre groups.
And the merchants of the main shopping district host a fall family fun
day in September for the Uptown Keswick Harvest Festival featuring a
vendors market, barbecues and lots of activities for the kids.
The Sutton BIA hosts four events with free horse-drawn wagon rides
at all events (weather permitting).
A Spring Fling kicks off an exciting roster of events in May with a community garage sale in the Market Square.
And a sea of yellow rubber duckys floating down the Black River heralds the arrival of one of Sutton’s main attractions — the Festival on
High and duck race. The family friendly event includes children’s games,
face painting, live music and vendors.
A Hallowe’en Haunt in October encourages everyone to dress up in
costume for plenty of games and prizes in the Market Square, which is
also home to the annual Christmas tree lighting Dec. 5 featuring free hot
chocolate and fireside carolling before the annual Christmas Parade of
Lights, which runs from Jackson’s Point to Sutton.
Jackson’s Point’s downtown parkette is the picturesque park setting for
a number of great events taking place such as summer concerts and
sales and culminating in a year-end songfest wrapped around a Menorah and Christmas tree lighting at the end of the year.
But the feature event is the annual Painted Perch Festival — an afternoon and evening of fun and excitement for the whole family.
The kids can enjoy games, crafts and face painting and there is always
plenty of live music featuring lots of local talent. Don’t forget to check
out all of the wonderful handcrafted perch and vote for your favourite.
There is also be an array of vendors, artisans and some great food and
drinks to enjoy.
The large BIA membership is dedicated to preserving and maintaining
the local flavour of each of Georgina’s historic community downtown’s
while being united in a common goal of restoring, enhancing and beatifying each local downtown core to share with heartfelt hospitality with
residents and visitors alike.

Georgina Pioneer Village
& Archives
Explore Georgina’s rich history and the people and places of its past
with a visit to the Pioneer Village & Archives.
Officially opened on Thanksgiving Day 1975 by Chief of the Chippewas
of Georgina Island, Lorenzo Big Canoe, the Georgina Pioneer Village &
Archives is a veritable heritage showcase.
Located near the south shore of beautiful Lake Simcoe, this 10-acre
site is home to numerous buildings that interpret the history of Georgina
between 1850 and 1920, including a one-room schoolhouse, a general
store, a train station, a blacksmith shop, an apothecary and a backwoods
log house.
The Pioneer Village also houses an extensive archival collection
comprised of records created by the councils of the former townships
of Georgina and North Gwillimbury, as well as the Village of Sutton. In
addition, the Archives contain a number of personal family documents,
including land records, photographs, scrapbooks, bibles and related
ephemera.
Heritage camps, tours, workshops and school visits are just some of
the activities that take place throughout the season. The Village also
hosts a number of popular special events, including Rise to Rebellion:
An Interactive Re-creation of the 1837 Rebellion for Grade 7 students
in May; Canada Day celebrations in true 19th-centry style July 1; and
a Harvest Festival in September celebrating the arrival of autumn with
a display of vintage farm equipment, plenty of food, children’s crafts,
music, apple cider and historical demonstrations.
And the holiday season truly takes on magical proportions when you
step back in time with the sights, sounds and smells of an early settler
Christmas during the Village’s Old Fashioned Christmas in November.
The Pioneer Village is open by donation only from Wednesday to Sunday, including
holidays, from the first weekend of June to the last weekend of August from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission applies to special events. For information, visit www.
georginapioneervillage.ca or call 905-476-4301, ext. 2284. Access to the Archives is

160th
Sutton Fair
aug. 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th, 2015
& HORSE SHOW
This year’s 160th Sutton Fair & Horse Show promises to be another
big year for the Sutton Agricultural Society.
A stellar list of events includes something for everyone in the family.
But the fair hasn’t lost touch with its long-standing roots and tradition that make this a true country fair.
From its humble beginnings as a one-day event in 1855 to its current
four-day action-packed schedule, the Sutton Fair combines the best of
both the entertainment and agricultural worlds.
This year’s theme is “100 Years of 4H Ontario”.
Decorations and activities during the four days of the fair will
embrace and celebrate the venerable 4H experience.
Organizers are also excited and thrilled to feature a second pavilion
on the property built in 2013 to add another venue for the entertainment and animal shows.
Many competitions and contests will “rev up” the excitement more
than ever before featuring monster truck rides on General Hazzard.
And once the smoke clears and the roar of the grandstand settles
from the popular truck and tractor “pulls”, as well as the Thrill Show
demolition derbies, there’s still plenty to tempt the thrill seeker on the
World’s Finest Midway.
Take a ride or two, sample some food, visit the 4H and youth venues,
view the leisure exhibits and take in some of the special events and
you’ll enjoy the perfect family outing.
A large entertainment tent features daily acts and a host of exhibitors
present their wares in the arena for the duration of the fair.
Kids can look forward to a children’s fun area, a mini-barn, petting
zoo, high-flying frog races and pony rides.
With so much to offer, free parking and reasonable entrance fees, it’s
worth the trip to the Sutton Fair for its small-town charm and big-ticket
entertainment for the entire family.
Visit www.suttonfair.com for more information,
a complete list of daily events, admission fees, directions,
hours of operation and to view the 2015 Sutton Fair Prize Book.

SUTTON
With almost 300 original art works and a continuous roster of exhibitions and events, the Georgina Arts Centre & Gallery in Sutton is a mustsee attraction in Georgina.
Founded by a small collective of art enthusiasts in 1999, the centre is
widely renowned for its world-class art and small-town charm
Three on-site galleries include the BRUCE SMITH Gallery — named
after Bruce Smith, who donated a huge collection of original oil paintings
by Albert Chiarandini - and a new ALCOVE BIINDIGEN GALLERY,
which permanently showcases First Nations artists and features Native
exhibitions all year.
The Retail BIINDIGEN (Welcome) Native Gallery, mentored by Elder
Duke Redbird, showcases a large selection of paintings, bead work, soapstone carvings and giftware from Native artists and works in conjunction
with local artists, First Nations Cultural Tours and Georgina Island First
Nation.
The GACAG’s permanent collection includes paintings by Albert
Chiarandini, York Wilson and Bruce Smith as well as photographs by
Georgina artist Tom Zsolt.
Summer KidsArt camps run all summer, including an Animals Among
Us camp in July, but there are plenty of events for the entire family to
enjoy.
Gourmet luncheons once every month, special galas like the Art Expo/
Biindigen Culture Days festival in September and an impressive roster of
exhibitions keep the centre a vibrant hub of cultural and fun activity.
A new Music at the Gallery component features concerts, presentations,
wine and gourmet food.
But one of the centre’s premiere events is its First Nation Cultural Day
inclusive of a Family Pow Wow in June. The First Nations cultural awareness day allows guests to learn about traditional singing, dancing, drumming and crafts, welcoming everyone to share in the celebration with
First Nation peoples attending from across southern Ontario.

The Stephen Leacock Theatre of Performing Arts continues to capture the
imagination with live theatre like you’ve never seen it.
Opened in 1985, performances on its stage have been igniting the imagination and tickling the fancy ever since.
Famous for its up close and personal ambience, the 295-seat theatre presents a varied schedule of local, national and international entertainment.
Located in the north end of Keswick just off of The Queensway, the theatre
offers the best in musical guests, comedy acts and stage productions — all in a
wheelchair accessible, comfortable and, air-conditioned facility.
Committed to providing quality entertainment at affordable prices, the
theatre continues to host a number of highly acclaimed performers ever since
its first stage acts more than 25 years ago. Rita MacNeil, Jeff Healey and The
Arrogant Worms are just some of the many talented performers to grace the
stage. Enthusiastic theatre goers return time and again for repeat appearances
by favourite entertainers, such as the Yuk Yuk’s comedy troupe.
Home to the Queensville Players theatre group, the theatre has always been
a strong supporter of home-grown talent. Copacabana, The Adventures of
Tom Sawyer, Confessions of a Dirty Blonde, and The Wizard of Oz are just
some of the productions that have received rave reviews from audiences.
A highlight of this year’s roster is Lisa Brokop’s Patsy Cline Project Sept.
12.
Brokop will transport the audience back to the hey-day of country music
with her presentation of Patsy Cline classics accompanied by multi-media
imagery for an incredible musical journey featuring some of Cline’s most
memorable songs including “Walkin’ After Midnight”, “I Fall to Pieces”, “She’s
Got You”, “Sweet Dreams” and “Crazy”.
If an extended stay in Georgina is on the agenda, why not sign the kids up
for summer theatre camp sessions, which are available from July to August.
Budding thespians can learn the art of acting, aspects of stage presence and
voice projection while receiving instruction in mime, improv, vocals and
dance. The training portion culminates in a final performance for friends
and family.
Less than an hour’s drive from Toronto, the Stephen Leacock Theatre is
a worthwhile trip for an evening out to enjoy great music, comedic performances or a thrilling mystery.

town red and white in true patriotic style at the
town’s impressive Recreation Outdoor Campus
— otherwise known as The ROC — July 1, 2015.
Enjoy live entertainment, children’s activities,
inflatables, food and so much more during a day
full of exciting festivities for the whole family from
2 to 10:30 p.m.
The day’s events culminate in a spectacular fireworks display beginning at 10 p.m.
Canada Day is a free community event and this
year the town will be giving back to the community in a big way.
It is asking participants to bring a non-perishable food item to this year’s Canada Day Celebrations in support of the Georgina Community
Food Pantry.
So bring the family (and a canned good for
those less fortunate) and hook up with friends
as you celebrate the British North America Act,
which created the Canadian federal government
on July 1, 1867.
The BNA Act proclaimed one Dominion under
the name of Canada.
Dominion Day was officially renamed Canada
Day by an Act of Parliament on October 27,
1982.

GEORGINA ISLAND
Stay, play,
getaway
You don’t have to look any farther than Georgina Island for a unique
travel destination — only an hour’s drive north of Toronto.
Visitors are encouraged to leave their vehicles on the mainland since your
“getaway” starts with a short ride to the island aboard the ferry Aazhaawe,
whose name means “to go across”, or on the island’s water taxi.
Located north of Sutton overlooking Duclos Point and Virginia Beach,
Georgina Island is the largest of Lake Simcoe’s three islands and home to a
proud Chippewas community.
Sure to satisfy the nature lover and outdoor enthusiast alike, Georgina
Island is the perfect landscape to rediscover nature while you learn about
the area’s culture and traditions.
Make sure to stop by the band’s central community centre to view a comprehensive photographic collage of the Chippewas history documented
through an impressive pictorial testament to the Island’s people and ways
of life.
Then take a stroll a few metres behind the building to take in what can
be described as nothing less than a glorious view and experience of Lake
Simcoe.
Enjoy spectacular sunsets, watch for herons or hike the woodland paths.
Walk the same steps of many before you on Georgina Island’s Nanabush
Trail system.
Originating from the Ojibwa story about the son of a West Wind Spirit
father and human mother, the woodland paths follow the four sacred medicine paths of the Tobacco, Cedar, Sage and Sweetgrass trails and feature an
authentic wigwam village and educational information.
While you wait for the ferry, enjoy a warm cup of coffee, a cool drink or
a bite to eat at the Virginia Beach Marina as the ferry docks just outside its
doors across the street.
The marina and restaurant also provides boat slips, fishing tackle, bait
and licenses.
Georgina Island is a unique travel destination offering everything from
the rustic, natural delights of nature at the Nizh Meegwunun Family
Campground to the soft comfort of lodge and B&B accommodation.
It is the perfect place to stay, play and getaway.

tHe cOmmuNItIeS
of
Georgina
Georgina, considered one town, actually consists of numerous lakeside communities and hamlets including Keswick, Orchard Beach, Roches Point, Island Grove,
Willow Beach, Franklin Beach, Jackson’s Point, Sutton, Baldwin, Brown Hill, Udora, Port Bolster, Pefferlaw, Virginia, Egypt, Vachell, Cedarbrae, and Duclos Point.
Named by Governor John Graves Simcoe in honour of King George III, the area was surveyed in 1817 and settlement began in earnest in 1819. The first patents
were issued to Captain William Bourchier, R.N., who, in 1839, built his regency home known as the “Briars.” Drawn by good agricultural land, a scenic pine-forested
shoreline and close proximity to York (now Toronto), Georgina soon became home to numerous settlers, many of whom have family names that are still prominent
in the town. The Georgina Historical Village at the Civic Centre welcomes visitors of all ages to learn more about their heritage.
KESWICK
Keswick, the largest of Georgina’s urban
communities, offers an attractive combination of
urban services and rural charm. It is also home to
the Town’s Civic Centre located on Civic Centre
Road, 2 km east of Woodbine Avenue and north of
Baseline Road.
The community has been the site of extensive
development recently with a resultant doubling of
the population over the past decade and a forecasted
doubling again in the next 15-20 years which will
see a population of approximately 71,000.
Keswick is home to some of Georgina’s largest
employers such as Kesmac Inc., grower of sod
and manufacturer of sod farming equipment; J.C.
Trailers, manufacturer of specialty trailers for
both domestic and overseas markets; and Krate’s
Marina, a full service marina (See page 7 for a full
list of services).
HIStOrIc SIteS
One of the most beautiful and historic buildings
in the area is the Anglican Church in Roches Point,
which was built in 1863. The Rev. Walter Stennet
M.A., retired principal of Upper Canada College,
designed the building in a primitive Gothic style
reminiscent of an English country church and did
most of the labour in building it. The graveyard, so
lovingly kept, is full of historic interest as it contains
the remains of many of the early settlers.
accOmmODatION
Lake Drive North has several beautiful bed and
breakfast establishments and motels, all with a lake
view.
SHOPPING
There are five distinct shopping areas in
Keswick:
• Glenwoods Plaza – The Queensway South at Glenwoods Drive;
a modern plaza with stores for groceries, electronics, women’s
fashions, optical services, home decorating, fitness training,
pet supplies, restaurants, smoke and gifts and The Beer Store.
• Keswick Marketplace - Woodbine Ave. & Glenwoods Ave., Walmart,
T.D. Bank, RBC Bank, Prestige Jewellery, Subway, St. Louis Bar & Grill,
Sunset Grill restaurant, Dollarama, Marks Work Warehouse, Scotia Bank,
TD Bank.

Discover GeorGina
• Uptown Keswick– Simcoe Avenue and The Queensway South/
Church Street area featuring business services (insurance, office supplies,
accounting), groceries and specialty foods, wine making, crafts and art
supplies, flowers & gifts, Canada Post and The Georgina Advocate.
• Yorkwood Plaza – Woodbine Avenue; a plaza anchored by the Zehrs
grocery store, which also offers a pharmacy and photo processing. The
rest of the plaza includes pet supplies, restaurant, hair stylist, veterinarian,
dentist, and Staples.
• Arlington Shopping Plaza – Woodbine Avenue and Arlington; a
plaza featuring the LCBO, pharmacy, medical centre, food and other
retail outlets.
• Additionally, the whole of The Queensway South from the southerly limits
of Keswick to Church Street in the north, consists of retail and commercial
outlets, fast food establishments and residential areas.
tHe artS
The Stephen Leacock Theatre at 130 Gwendolyn
Blvd. has an active schedule of local, national and
international entertainment and is also home to the
Queensville Players, a local amateur theatre group
specializing in musicals.
eNtertaINmeNt
There are a number of pubs/restaurants in Keswick
all offering various forms of entertainment. Dancing is
usually available. Current movies are screened every
day at The Gem Theatre.
SPOrtS
Whether you’re boating, fishing or sailboarding,
Keswick boasts several marinas situated from the
south end of town on Cook’s Bay northward to Island
Grove on the south shore of Lake Simcoe. Each offers
such services as slip rentals, boat and fishing gear
rentals, boat launching, and sales and service of all
sizes of pleasure craft.
Canadian Tire in Keswick now offers live bait and
allows prospective anglers and hunters to get their
appropriate licenses.
Georgina’s new Recreation Outdoor Campus
(The ROC), which combines high-quality sports and
adventure activities, in an ultimate outdoor playground,
is open all year.
Golfers have an excellent full-service, nine-hole golf
course available at Orchard Beach. Public swimming
is available at Clarendon Beach Park, which also has
playgrounds and picnic facilities.
During the winter, the local marinas offer ice fishing
supplies and, of course, full snowmobiling services. Ice
sailing on the lake is very popular for those who have
their own equipment.
For spectators, the local twin pad arena, the
Georgina Ice Palace on Woodbine Ave., features figure
skating and hockey from the youngest up to and
including the Junior C team known as the “ICE”.
JACKSON’S POINT
HIStOrIc SIteS
The waters off Jackson’s Point are ideal for divers
who wish to explore history. Here lie remnants of the
pre-war Metropolitan Radial Railway (formally Grand
Trunk Rail) which brought hundreds of tourists from
the noise of the city through quiet fields to the placid
cool waters of Lake Simcoe at Jackson’s Point. Further
east along Hedge Road at the entrance to Sibbald Point
Provincial Park can be found St. George’s Church and
the burial site of one of Canada’s foremost authors
– Stephen Butler Leacock. Although he won worldwide acclaim with extensive writings on political
science, economics and history, he is best known for
his “Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town,” “Arcadian
Adventures with the Idle Rich” and “Literary Lapses,”
the first works to be essentially Canadian in character
and spirit. Buried in the same church yard is Mazo de
la Roche, author of “Jalna.”
The church, as it is today, was built in 1877 in
memory of Susan Sibbald by her sons (she had nine). A
little wooden church had been built there earlier by the
settlers. The altar and hymn board are of oak and were
carved and presented by the Rev. George Everest. The
beautiful west window is dedicated to the memory
of three airmen killed in the First and Second World
Wars. The woodwork in the church is oak, pine,
black walnut and butternut. The bible on the prayer
desk was presented to the church in 1841. The Holy
Communion Service dates from 1841 as well.
Sibbald Point Provincial Park is one of southern
Ontario’s most popular parks, drawing thousands
of pleasure seekers each year for summer camping,
picnicking, swimming and boating, and for winter
activities such as cross country skiing and ice fishing.
It is located north of Hwy. 48 on Park Road.
Just inside the provincial park stands Eildon
Hall, a memorial museum which was the home
of Lieutenant-Colonel Wm. Sibbald and his wife,
Susan.
Perhaps the most historic building in the area is
The Briars. Originally built in 1840 by Cpt. William
Bourchier, R.N., Frank Sibbald, eighth son to Susan
and William Sibbald, added extensively to it. It was
transformed into a resort by his great nephew, Jack
Sibbald after W.W.I and into an inn in 1977 by his
son John and his wife Barbara S bbald, who with sons
Hugh and Andrew, operate it today. It is recognized as
one of the premier destination points for business and
pleasure in Southern Ontario.
HIStOrIc SIteS
The Manor House in Sutton and the Briars
in Jackson’s Point, both built by the Bourchier
family, are now heritage sites. Additional
historical sites of interest include St. James
Anglican Church — 1856, the Holborn Home
known as “Maple Hurst” on River Street, Dr.
Noble’s Home at the Pioneer Village and the
Georgina Island Reserve.
accOmmODatION
The “Point” offers the best in guest accommodation
from The Briars Resort, a Three Diamond hotel to small
motels and Bed and Breakfasts. Whatever your desire,
it can be found in Jackson’s Point. (Take advantage of
the enclosed directory for a more complete listing.)
SHOPPING
High Street and Dalton Road make up the
shopping district for Sutton. Much of this
retail and commercial area features smaller
specialty stores and services.
SHOPPING
The Lake Drive and Dalton Road intersection has a
number of stores offering gifts, food, pharmaceuticals
and refreshments and is within walking distance to the
Jackson’s Point Harbour.
Farther south on Dalton Road are two major food
stores, a flower shop, two pharmacies, a building
supply outlet, hardware store, Giant Tiger and many
restaurants.
The Jackson’s Point BIA is continually making the
area better for shoppers. Make sure you stop by to see
the latest improvements!
eNtertaINmeNt
Dinner and dancing are available at The Briars Resort
on Hedge Road every Saturday evening. The Lake
Simcoe Arms British Pub extends a warm welcome
with a variety of pub favourites and other popular
dishes and offers live music year-round, and on the
patio during summer months. If you’re in the mood
for fine dining, Jackson’s Place has you covered.
SPOrtS
Jackson’s Point has a transient public harbour to
serve the boating public. The area is excellent for all
types of boats and personal watercraft. It also has a
private marina offering full services to boaters and
fishing enthusiasts both during the summer and the
winter.
De La Salle Park, Franklin Beach Conservation Park
and Willow Beach Conservation Area are operated by
the Town of Georgina. They offer excellent swimming
with picnic facilities and parking.
Golfers have a choice of two nine-hole courses, one
right near De La Salle Park and the other at Willow
Beach, a short distance west. The latter also offers a
driving range and a mini putt course.
SUTTON
Captain William Bourchier, R.N., a Scotsman,
returned from the navy after the War of 1812 and
took up grants of land with his younger brother,
James, in what is now Sutton. They pronounced their
name “Bowxher”. Eventually, they were to become
responsible for the development of Bourchier’s Mill,
later Sutton.The village has developed to the point
where it now runs into Jackson’s Point to the north and
the hamlet of Virginia to the east. Virginia Beach has
both a ferry and a float boat service to the Georgina
Island Reserve. The Beach is accessible either from
Hwy. 48 and Virginia Beach Road at Virginia or via
Black River Road from Sutton.
Jackson’s Point
Parkette
eNtertaINmeNt
Pubs/restaurants on High St and Dalton Rd offer
entertainment and dancing for the young at heart.
The Sutton Fair and Horse Show, August 6 to 9,
is one of the oldest fairs in Ontario presenting its
160th edition this year. The Fair offers something for
everyone, regardless of age.
SPOrtS
Sutton is blessed with a large fair grounds, a curling
arena, the Sutton Arena, an indoor swimming pool
and extensive playing areas for tennis, baseball and
soccer. Be it summer or winter, there is always plenty
to do. The proximity to Lake Simcoe, of course, opens
up all the usual activities of swimming, boating and
fishing in the summer and snowmobiling and ice
fishing in the winter.
BALDWIN
Located south of Sutton and just east of Keswick, the
tiny hamlet of Baldwin is home to many hobby farms
and equestrian centres.
The main landmark in Baldwin has always been the
grist mill on the Black River. The first mill was built
in the early 1800s, but both it and its replacement
burned down. The current structure was brought from
Keswick piece by piece and began operation in 1883.
Many of the area’s original wood and cobblestorne
structures are still standing.
Most of the area’s small businesses and amenities
are accessible off the main Hwy. 48 artery north of
Ravenshoe Road and south of High Street. The main
commercial sector is located at the Baldwin Plaza on
the east side of Hwy. 48, which includes a coffee shop,
horse equipment and saddle retailer, bait and tackle
shop, custom signs, art gallery, restaurant and motel.
Baldwin is also home to the Baldwin Airport, which
offers skydiving through the Parachute School of
Toronto Limited; Blue Willow’s Garden Centre; the
Baldwin Conservation Area; Lyndhurst Golf Course, a
public, 18-hole golf facility; a 10+ pump self-serve gas
station and convenience store; and numerous antique
retailers.
PEFFERLAW
Although the village of Pefferlaw is concentrated to
the south of Hwy. 48 along the Pefferlaw River, the area
of Pefferlaw extends from Virginia to Port Bolster and
includes Duclos Point, McRae Beach, Morning Glory
and Holmes Point.
The village owes its founding to the river flowing
through it which bears its name. The Pefferlaw River
afforded an excellent site for a mill and, circa 1830,
Captain Wm. Johnson, R.N. retired, built a sawmill,
grist mill and woollen mill after similar efforts in
Baldwin had failed.
HIStOrIc SIteS
The site of the old mill is now a lovely park to be
enjoyed by all.
SHOPPING
The village has a downtown section offering
groceries, refreshments, banking services, restaurants,
a library, gas station, automotive repair and personal
services.
SPOrtS
The extended area of Pefferlaw includes a great deal
of Lake Simcoe shoreline and, as such, offers the usual
summer and winter sports of fishing, swimming,
boating, ice fishing and snowmobiling. Much of the
area is taken up with private cottages, but Holmes
Point is an exception with both a public beach and a
private, commercial beach. The latter is situated at the
mouth of the Pefferlaw River and includes a motel, a
restaurant and docking facilities for boats.
Another hidden treasure in Pefferlaw is Eaglewood
— 90 acres of “wilderness” with hiking, skating, cross
country skiing, group camping, day visits, horseback
riding, fishing, housekeeping accommodation,
common room and much more. Eaglewood is a
community oriented family resort that is fully
wheelchair accessible.
The Pines of Georgina Golf Course on Hwy. 48 is
a competitive, 18-hole course complete with all club
facilities, a lounge and a restaurant.
PORT BOLSTER
The hamlet of Port Bolster is often considered an
extension of Pefferlaw and offers the visitor much of
the same services. Its main street is Durham Road 23
(also known as Lake Ridge Road). The Port Bolster
area is very popular for its fishing, both in summer
and winter.
UDORA
The hamlet of Udora is located in the southeast of
Georgina and borders the Region of Durham. Like
Pefferlaw, it too is situated on The Pefferlaw River
which is the focal point for a large private camp, in
effect a subdivision of cottages, owned by the Estonian
Summer Homes Association.
