The Township of Georgian Bay is an area municipality of the District Municipality of Muskoka, in south-central Ontario, Canada. It is located on the Severn River, where it empties into the eponymous Georgian Bay. The municipal offices are at Port Severn. This township is the administrative centre of the Moose Deer Point Ojibway First Nation reserve. ==Communities== The township contains the communities of Bayview Park, Big Chute, Cedar Nook, Crooked Bay, Franceville, Go Home, Honey Harbour, Macey Bay, MacTier, Moon River, Potters Landing, South Bay, Wolverine Beach and Wood Landing. Honey Harbour serves as a launching point to the "30,000 Islands" that make up the Georgian Bay geography. The islands that are accessible from Honey Harbour are dotted with hundreds to thousands of cottages. The cottages serve mostly as summer residences. Many very large cottages have been built recently, which has resulted in an increase in the property values. The economic cycle of Honey Harbour is tied to the cycle of the cottagers. Honey Harbour has a small grocery store ("Towne Centre" and Picnic Island Resort, which features its own general store and gas bar), a post office, a liquor store, a bakery, a Catholic church and school, a public elementary school, several small craft stores, a large resort (the "Delawana Inn", which has recently been placed under receivership and closed until further notice ) and several marinas. In addition to cottages, there are multiple waterfront trailer park resorts available as well. There are also numerous clean beaches lining both the shore and islands, inhabited by the diverse Ontario wildlife. Honey Harbour's founder's name was Harvey Hewitt from Pasadena, California. The double H's were a play off of his name. He was also the original pioneer and co-developer of "Woolite." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Georgian Bay, Ontario」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
