Parry Sound is a town in southern
Ontario,
Canada.
The town proper is about 6000 residents strong, and the surrounding area brings this total up to about 14000. It is situated on
Georgian Bay, just at the edge of the
Canadian Shield. It is part of the "lakeland" region of Ontario, and is a trap for
boating and
fishing connoisseurs. The
Huron First Nations themselves used the area of Parry Sound as a holiday land for more than 100 years before the arrival of
Europeans. The
Ojibway First Nations established a village,
Wausakwasene(shining shore), at the delta of the
Seguin River. In Parry Sound's waters, in Georgian Bay, there are many little islands, and the watery regions are often called the "
30000 Islands".
