Georgian Bay — Huronia
Midland Real Estate
Martyrs' Shrine, Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons, and the southern Georgian Bay waterfront — Midland where Huronia's 17th-century history meets cottagers' weekend geography.
Living in Midland
Midland anchors the Penetanguishene-Midland area on the southern Georgian Bay shore with the deepest historical layering of any comparable Ontario community. Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons — the reconstructed 1639 Jesuit mission site — is 5 minutes from the downtown and one of Ontario's most significant heritage sites, depicting the first European community in what is now Ontario and the world of the Wendat (Huron) people who hosted it. Adjacent Martyrs' Shrine commemorates the eight Jesuit missionaries canonized as saints by the Catholic Church. The Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre provides nature education and bird observation trails. Georgian Bay's waters and islands are accessed from Midland's harbour.
The town itself has a working downtown that functions beyond summer tourism — Huronia District Hospital, Schools, and regional retail make it a genuine service hub for the Penetanguishene-Midland area. Average prices around 50,000 reflect the combination of Georgian Bay access and more affordable housing than Collingwood or Meaford to the north and west.
