Midland community - You Are Welcome Here Midland, Ontario is a beautiful little town on the shores of Georgian Bay, the original territorial lands of the Anishinaabe nation. It has a population of almost 18000 which triples in the summer because of its thriving tourist industry. Historically Midland was predominantly English speaking with a strong French element in Penetanguishene, a town 5 km away. Through the years a multicultural mix has built on this base. A little history: In 1615 French Jesuit missionaries established a mission in an effort to evangelise the indigenous peoples. This was short lived due to invading tribes from the south. Today there is a large shrine and reconstructed village to commemorate the martyrs. Two hundred years later during the War of 1812 the English built a fort near Midland to defend the area. There is a reconstructed historic site there as well. Through the years lumbering and shipbuilding drew workmen and their families to the area and the town was formed. Both these industries gradually failed but were replaced by manufacturing ones. Today there is a modest industrial mix. Farms surround the town. Resources, Services, Facilities: Midland has all the necessary amenities to provide a comfortable lifestyle. A wide variety of indoor and outdoor sports and cultural facilities are available year round for all ages. There are several elementary schools and a couple of high schools, both public and Catholic. A well- equipped hospital with an active emergency department provides excellent care. (More complex procedures are performed in larger facilities 50 km away.) Several long-term care facilities accommodate those requiring extra help. Various religious denominations are available to provide spiritual guidance. And there is a newly reconstructed main street with shops, restaurants and financial institutions. Opportunities: Midlanders are found in all the venues mentioned above.
