Welcome to the Pointe au Baril Information Centre 2010 Season! Of utmost importance is that we have changed the date of our Canada Day Celebrations from Sunday, June 27 to the more appropriate Saturday, July 3 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Pointe au Baril Community Centre. The Celebrations will include our Delicious Pickerel Lunch, parades, presentations, the Official Flag Raising Ceremony and lots of activities for the kids! As well, White Squall will join us again with their terrific Paddling Demonstration and Exhibit.
The 3rd Annual Arts & Crafts Fair will again have our talented Arts & Crafts Vendors exhibiting a wide variety and selection of wonderful high calibre hand crafted items: exquisite jewellery, pottery, paintings, sculptures, native beadwork, superb glassware, log furniture ... and so much more. So - be sure to mark your calendar!!
Our many, many thanks to all the Volunteers and Arts and Crafts vendors who helped make last year's event a time to remember. And a big thank you to the hundreds of visitors who attended all or part of the day. We could not have done it without you! As well, our new Visitor's Washroom, with Wheelchair Access, was installed in June of 2008 here at the Information Centre located on Hwy. 69. Our very sincerest thanks to those involved in the fundraising and construction of this fine, new, modern facility. It is a well kept, much appreciated addition to our Information Centre by our travelling visitors. Pointe au Baril is located on the shore of the magnificent Georgian Bay with sparkling blue water with windswept pines - Tom Thomson country!! For the avid fisherman/woman, enjoy the excitement of getting that prize Northern Pike, Bass, Walleye or Perch. We have many fishing camps and Bay Resorts with everything you might need - from guides to fishing boats.And, there is so much more than fishing! Enjoy boating, hiking, riding the RV trails, site seeing and great eating. Fresh pine scented air and pure water to drink. In addition to the great Georgian Bay, we also have smaller lakes in the area. Moose Lake is just off Highway 69 and is a very special spot for those who like to canoe or row. Naiscoot Lake and River are easy to access and have superb boating and fishing. Harris Lake is another great recreational Lake that connects to the Magnetawan River System. A great place for long scenic rowing trips alone or with groups of outdoor enthusiasts. Our hospitality is second to none; we strive to make your trip to the area memorable for you and your family. For maps and information about this wonderful area, please contact our Information Centre and we will be happy to assist you. The Information Centre and Chamber of Commerce is located on the east side of highway #69, just as you enter Pointe au Baril from the South. And, as you leave Pointe au Baril from the North. We look forward to seeing you here in the beautiful Pointe au Baril area of Georgian Bay. Sincerely, Lillian White, Office Manager
