Recreational and leisure opportunities abound, with Seguin's natural parks, trails, beaches, sports fields and community centres.

Waterfront Living
Seguin provides a natural backdrop to any setting. With its lakes and rivers, Seguin has 1000’s of kilometers of shoreline to experience whether it be by boat on crystal clear waters or by foot on leaf strewn wilderness trails. Many of Township’s 186 lakes of all sizes are recreational destinations for some 15,000 seasonal residents.
Access to the lakes can be gained through a variety of means. Seguin is home to a number of private marinas and resorts. In addition to these private businesses, there are nineteen public boat launches and landings within Seguin Township. Explore the many diverse, beautiful lakes by canoe, kayak or boat. The options are endless for summer exploration.
The preservation of Seguin’s natural qualities is a priority of our residents. As an environment first municipality we pride ourselves in environmental planning initiatives aimed at improving our water quality and ensuring our lakes remain healthy. With a variety of stakeholders, we have developed a Lake Stewardship Handbook that offers practical approaches to be better stewards of the environment. And, we have developed a "Stewardship Seguin" program that recognizes and applauds property owners for making improvement to their properties.
In addition, the Township actively undertakes an annual Water Quality Monitoring and Septic Reinspection Programs which is aimed at monitoring the ecological health of our lakes and maintaining septic systems as part of our overall stewardship initiatives. The Water Quality Monitoring Program measures such things such as nutrient concentrations and dissolved oxygen levels in the water as well as the clarity and temperature of the water.
Finally, Seguin champions the principle that, while the lakes function as a common space, there is limit to the number of lake users that can be accommodated on them and still maintain their amenities and natural character. In this regard, the number of new cottages and resorts are controlled by means of establishing the recreational carrying capacity of each lake.
Please protect our shorelines and keep our lakes safe and quiet! Seguin is a proud supporter of Safe and Quiet Lakes and of the Georgian Bay Biosphere Reserve.

Home Based Business
What is a Home Based Business? The Township of Seguin allows occupants of dwellings to conduct businesses from their homes. Allowing new businesses to start at home and to grow into successful operations is part of the Township’s economic development strategies. Generally, home based businesses are commercial activities that occur within a residential dwelling located in a residential or rural area of the municipality. In Seguin, some home industries are also permitted in accessory buildings without requiring a rezoning. Some of the uses that are considered appropriate for home based businesses include offices of professions like an accountant or doctor, consulting services, music or dance instruction, creation of crafts, hair salon, distribution sales office, high tech and computer services, and similar gainful occupations. What rules would apply to my Home Based Business? Standards for home based businesses are intended to balance the interests of the business entrepreneur and preserving the quiet and safe residential character of the streets and neighbourhoods of the community. The municipal zoning by-law does this by regulating the amount of floor space that can be dedicated to the business within the dwelling, limiting the number of employees who do not live in the house, and listing the types of uses that are permitted. Additional regulations address the parking required for the business, maximum number of commercial vehicles permitted, prohibiting nuisance impacts, and hours for deliveries.
What do I need to do to start my Home Based Business? There is no business licensing currently required by Seguin for home based business or home industries. You should, however, contact the municipal office to check out the rules around home based businesses and home industries to confirm that your business will be permitted under the current Zoning By-law. Certain business are not permitted to be home based and therefore would have to be located in commercial or industrial areas.
When it is time to grow – what should I do? You started your home based business, things are going great, but you are running out of room. When your business out-grows your home and property, it is time to start looking for a commercial or industrial site in the community to take your business to the next stage of growth. The Township is ready to help you with this next stage in your business development.
