Town of Midland, Ontario

Midland is one of the jewels of Georgian Bay. Located 90 minutes North of Toronto, this community provides an exceptional place to relocate and retire. Located on the shores of a deep harbour with a dynamic recreational waterfront that includes a number of Marinas and a newly completed waterfront trail. Summer, Winter, Fall, and Spring – this community is always bustling with activity – we are known for incredible boating, fishing, golfing, skiing, snowmobiling, biking, hiking trails, historical sites, and breathtaking scenery. Sport is an important part of the activities of the town. The newly completed North Simcoe Arena complex features two ice surfaces that are in use all year round. Additionally, the Midland YMCA is a “core” facility in town, providing a myriad of services to the community at large.

Midland offers a “quality of life” that encompasses a busy retail and manufacturing base, excellent health care facilities, educational facilities from kindergarten through high school and beyond [in both official languages], boutique shopping and big box stores, available affordable housing from moderately priced to exclusive waterfront properties, as well as rental housing. Safe neighbourhoods offer access to schools, parks, and shopping.

Employment opportunities can be found in the municipal, provincial, and federal sectors, retail, manufacturing, healthcare, and also include a thriving independent business community. With its natural beauty and many recreational facilities this picturesque town is a sought after site for meetings and conventions at facilities that offer high tech amenities that can meet every need.

Midland is a wonderful place to live, raise a family, and retire. It is an attractive, creative and prosperous community that exemplifies the Canadian way of life that began so long ago on the shores of Georgian Bay.
