  • Strategic Plan
    STRATEGIC PLAN Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula June 2008 Revised July 2015 Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula Page 1 of 11 Strategic Plan Revised July 2015 MUNICIPALITY OF NORTHERN BRUCE PENINSULA STRATEGIC PLAN Northern Bruce Peninsula is a municipal corporation that commenced operations on January 1, 1999. It encompasses the former Townships of Eastnor, Lindsay and St. Edmunds and the Village of Lion’s Head. Many other hamlets within NBP are Tobermory, Stokes Bay, Pike Bay, Miller Lake, Barrow Bay, Ferndale, Dyers Bay and the Lindsay 20 communities. The Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula is the northerly neighbouring community to South Bruce Peninsula, Highway 6 traverses northerly through NBP. The peninsula itself is surrounded on the east by Georgian Bay and on the west by Lake Huron. We are home to Fathom Five National Marine Park, Bruce Peninsula National Park, the Bruce Trail, Niagara Escarpment, UNESCO World Biosphere, Cabot Head and Lion’s Head Nature Reserves, two First Nations Hunting Reserves and a large Bruce County Forest Tract. NBP covers an area of 781.51 square kilometers boasting a permanent population of 3,900 year round residents and just over 5000 households. The Public Works Department maintains 475 kilometres of roads and streets, some of which are paved, some gravelled. Some roads provide year round access while others enjoy only summer accessibility. In 2004, NBP was proclaimed as a “dark sky community” in the hope of preserving and protecting the night time environment and our heritage of dark skies through the use of quality outdoor lighting and goals established which are intended to stop the adverse effects of light pollution.
