Not many small towns offer all the shopping opportunities we do, and there are two reasons why Gore Bay is unique. First, we’re far enough from larger centres that we’ve always had to stay self reliant. Another reason you’ll find most everything here is because we’re committed to making Gore Bay a complete little community.
