From its idyllic setting to its strategic location 90 minutes from Southern Ontario's 10 million residents, Southern Georgian Bay is a community offering a perfect business setting. Adding to its attraction is a growing local population base, a modern and expanding manufacturing sector and the realization it's a community poised to grow and ready to meet the challenge with full services, competitive - and stable - taxation rates, abundant housing and a co-operative atmosphere. Strong transportation links - three routes to nearby Highway 400 - 2 deep water ports, and modern airport all connect the region to national and international markets.

Located on the shores of Georgian Bay, Southern Georgian Bay is the commercial and population hub of North Simcoe. The region is prized throughout Southern Ontario as both a historical centre and a cottaging and boating paradise. Over the years, it has developed from its early days as southern Ontario's playground, with a summertime economy, to a community supporting high-tech industries, manufacturing plants and a wide range of retail outlets. It's a top choice for those able to work from home; especially people who have attained a position where they can balance business and pleasure.

As the region expands, so have existing businesses. Major industries, such as Baytech Plastics, Bruin Engineered Parts Inc., CCL Container Aerosol Division, Day Specialties, ELCAN Optical Technologies, Huronia Precision Plastics, Kindred Industries Limited, New England Business Systems (NEBS), Weber Manufacturing Technologies, have all grown. The majority of its industries have achieved the highly-sought ISO/QS rating, giving it an international reputation. A number of new outlets - of particular interest, grocery stores and restaurant outlets, give their direct ties to an increased population - located in Southern Georgian Bay. As opportunities go, Southern Georgian Bay is one whose time is here. The combination timing and location make it attractive to business operators.
