Mayor's Welcome
Welcome to Gore Bay.ca
On behalf of members of council, our town staff and myself I would like to welcome you to our town website and for those of you visiting Gore Bay, I welcome you to our town.
A quick geography lesson will tell you that Gore Bay is located on Manitoulin Island, which is part of a chain of islands located in the northern part of one of Canada’s Great Lakes, Lake Huron.
