The Culture Alliance in the Heart of Georgian Bay is comprised of The Town of Midland, The Town of Penetanguishene, The Township of Tiny and the Township of Tay.  Together we are celebrating, fostering, promoting and leveraging cultural resources in the Heart of Georgian Bay, with a view to growing a prosperous year-round creative economy, and enhancing the quality of life and cultural awareness for all residents.

The Tay Township Horticulture Committee celebrated the inclusion of an indigenous area in the garden located at the Municipal office, 450 Park Street in Victoria Harbour on Monday, June 24, 2024.

The community came together to witness and celebrate this important addition, which reflects a deep commitment to honouring and preserving the cultural heritage of the region.

Recently installed features include a symbolic lighthouse, as well as a wood feature paying tribute to the Township's historic ties to the lumber industry. These elements will be complemented by plantings of birch, cedar, sweetgrass, sage, and tobacco, symbolizing a profound connection to the Indigenous lands upon which our community thrives.
