Georgian Triangle

The Georgian Triangle is the name of the geographic region containing the counties surrounding the Georgian Bay, mostly Nottawasaga Bay, in particular. The main city in the region is Collingwood, but it is a short distance from its larger neighbours, Owen Sound and Barrie. Recreation and tourism are important parts of this area's economy.

The area is actually a sub-region of two other regions in Ontario, Southwestern Ontario in the western half and Central Ontario in the eastern half. It also forms the western part of what is known as "cottage country" in Ontario, with many seasonal properties; however, in this area most are lived in year-round.

Counties

The counties contained in the Georgian Triangle are:

* Bruce
* Grey
* Simcoe County

Dufferin County and Muskoka may also be considered as outer extensions of the region, and are shown in green on the map.
