  • General Information and Mayor's Message
    1. General Information and Mayor’s Message The Township of Southgate is a local municipality in the southern part of Grey County. It is a rural township with 2 small villages of Dundalk and Holstein and several small rural hamlets. The Township is a result of the amalgamation of the Village of Dundalk and the Townships of Egremont and Proton in 2000. The Township is 644 hectares (249 sq. miles) in size and has a population of 7,354. The Township is the southern gateway to Grey County and that is where the municipalities name comes from “Southgate”. The key strengths of Southgate as a great location for your business are: • Close to Greater Toronto Area (GTA) • Lower cost of living • Lower labour costs • Strong agricultural base • Reliable labour • Close to large GTA labour force • No traffic (reverse commuting) • GTA residents somewhat familiar with area due to tourism, snowmobiling, cottages and events. • Near retirement communities along Georgian Bay • Southgate has a strength in green industry 1.1 Mayor’s Message It really is an honour to be the Mayor for the Township of Southgate. I am humbled by the support and kind words that people have expressed. I am very excited with the new Council and look forward to new ideas and renewed interest in keeping our Municipality great. We have a diverse population that is hard working and creative. From our citizens to our large businesses, we see new concepts and ingenuity. We have a seniors group that other areas of the Province are trying replicate. We have a top-notch farmers market as well as province leading agricultural growth.

  • Time Line by Clare Mclean-Wilson
    Time Line By Clare McLean-Wilson 1615 Champlain and the Recollet Missionary Father LeCaron are the first white men to visit the native people that live in what will become Grey County. 1815 Captain Owen, in his ‘little survey schooner’ discovers the harbour that will later be named Owen Sound. 1818 The first native treaty is struck. For the ‘yearly payment for ever of twelve hundred pounds of currency in goods at Montreal Prices’ the land covered by Osprey, Collingwood, Artemesia, Euphrasia and St. Vincent, approximately one million five hundred and ninety two acres, is relinquished by its native occupants. 1833 Charles Rankin comes to survey and lay out townships in “the Wild Land beyond the Simcoe district”. 1835 Tarvas Indians from Wikwemikog and Pottawattamies from the State of Wisconsin join the Ojibway people of this area after their land is given to the Government of the United States. 1836 The Sauking Treaty takes “in the land in the County of Grey from the west of the Townships of Euphrasia and St. Vincent to a line directly west of Owen Sound and extending south from that line probably over all the remainder of the county.” Except Sarawak and Keppel, all of the future Grey County is in white hands. 1841 July 6, the first post office in Grey County is opened in St. Vincent Township. 1848 First year that what will be Grey County has an election for a member of the Provincial Legislative Assembly. 1849 First horse brought to Grey County. It was white and belonged to Arthur Hill Rigland Mulholland, a clergyman.

  • THE CHRONOLOGICAL POSITION of the CRS SITE, SIMCOE COUNTY, ONTARIO David R. Bush
    Bush: THE CRS SITE 17 THE CHRONOLOGICAL POSITION OF THE CRS SITE, SIMCOE COUNTY, ONTARIO David R. Bush ABSTRACT Through the application of the coefficient of similarity test (Emerson, 1966, 1968) on the ceramics excavated from the CRS site, the chronological position and cultural affiliation of this site was established. The ceramic vessel and pipe analyses of the recovered materials indicate the site to be a very Late Prehistoric Huron village occupied between A.D. 1550 and A.D. 1580. INTRODUCTION The preliminary excavation of the CRS site (from 1968-1973) was undertaken with the hopes of establishing the site's proper cultural and temporal position. Further studies of cultural processes could then proceed once the cultural and chronological position of the CRS site was evaluated. It has been the aim of this research to utilize the coefficient of similarity test as one method of determining the chronological placement and cultural affiliation of this site. The following is the study of the ceramics excavated from the CRS site. Simcoe County, Ontario (Figure 1, taken from Emerson, 1968, p. 63). SITE DESCRIPTION The exact location of the CRS site has been withheld by personal request of the landowner. The site lies approximately one-half mile east of Hog Creek and approximately 3-1 /2 miles south of Sturgeon Bay. The site sits within the 900 foot contour line about 320 feet above the water level of Georgian Bay. Within a 2 mile radius of the site the soils are generally deep, moderately well drained, and have a good water holding capacity.

  • History of the Simcoe County Region Indigenization Column: May 17, 2017
    History of the Simcoe County Region Indigenization Column: May 17, 2017 If anyone has been to the Simcoe County Museum on Highway 26, they will have seen the beautiful Huron-Wendat artifacts and replica longhouse they have on permanent display. With all the discussion around Anishnaabeg (Ojibwe people) and the Anishnaabemowin (Ojibwe language) program, many may be confused as to why there are different nations in the same region. Hopefully, I can shed some light on this question. This region was once inhabited by the Huron-Wendat nations, until about 350 years ago. The Huron- Wendat are a confederacy of five Haudenosaunee-speaking (Iroquois) nations. They are the; Attinniaoenten ("people of the bear"), Hatingeennonniahak ("makers of cords for nets"), Arendaenronnon ("people of the lying rock"), Atahontaenrat ("two white ears" i.e., “deer people”) and Ataronchronon ("people of the bog"). These nations had once been as far south as the Virginias and Ohio Valley, but had settled in this region pre-contact. These nations came into contact with the French settlers in the early 1600s, and it was this contact that caused a great deal of epidemics such as measles, influenza, and smallpox amongst the nations. The term ‘Huron’ comes from a demeaning nickname for the nation, which means ‘boar’s head’ in French and was used in reference to ruffians. The Wendat were enemies of the five Haudenosaunee nations (later joined by the Tuscarora in 1722 and became the Six Nations we know today). By the mid-1600s the Wendat population had been reduced by half, from approximately 20,000 to 9,000 by the epidemics brought by the French settlers living in close quarters with the nations.

  • How Well-Protected Are Greenlands in Simcoe County?
    HOW WELL-PROTECTED ARE GREENLANDS IN SIMCOE COUNTY? Proportion of total land area in each 'level of protection'. County of Simcoe July 2019 To see the full legend, go to bit.ly/greenlandsreport. Map produced by Assim Sayed Mohammed and Kirby Calvert, Department of Geography, Environment and Geomatics, University of Guelph, on behalf of the Rescue Lake Simcoe Coalition. HOW WELL-PROTECTED ARE GREENLANDS IN SIMCOE COUNTY? The Rescue Lake Simcoe Coalition’s greenlands[i] mapping project seeks to identify how well- protected Simcoe County forests, wetlands and shorelines are by analyzing the strength of the policies that protect them, and mapping the results of our findings. Cartographers created four maps for this research, showing the land use mix in Simcoe County, the breakdown of the levels of protection, the locations of aggregate resources that could eat into the best protected greenlands if extraction were permitted, and the features identified in our “Best Protected” category. What should we have? Forest cover 50% forest cover or more of the watershed is likely to support most potential species, and healthy aquatic systems.[ii] Simcoe County has 22%, but is losing forest cover. Wetlands The greater of (a) 10% of each major watershed and 6% of each subwatershed, or (b) 40% of the historic watershed wetland coverage, should be protected and restored, and no net loss of wetlands. [iii] Simcoe County has 14% wetland cover based on our analysis, and approximately half of its historic wetland cover.[iv] Simcoe County is losing wetlands. [v] Simcoe County’s land use mix does not meet ideal greenlands protection targets, but it is possible to get it right in Simcoe County, and permanently protect an effective Natural Heritage System to buffer our waters and ecosystem from the impacts of climate change and development.
