Big changes are on the horizon for MacTier, and the Township of Georgian Bay wants residents to be at the heart of it!
The Township of Georgian Bay is excited to announce the launch of Refresh MacTier, a new community engagement project designed to reimagine and enhance four key areas of MacTier:
- Stewart Lake Beach Area
- The Downtown Core,
- Mrs. C Park,
- and the MacTier Memorial Community Centre/Arena.
On Friday, September 19, 2025, Township staff will be out in the community, meeting with residents, stopping into local spots, and engaging the young residents to hear directly about their ideas for the community.
Residents are encouraged to share their ideas and perspectives by completing the Refresh MacTier Survey, available online at:
https://www.gbtownship.ca/RefreshMacTierSurvey/
“Refresh MacTier isn’t just about changes, it’s about building a community that reflects who we are today and who we want to be tomorrow,” states Peter Koetsier, Mayor of the Township of Georgian Bay. “We can’t do that without the voices and ideas of the people who call MacTier home.”
In addition to the survey, the Township will be hosting an interactive stakeholder meeting later in September. This session, by invitation only, will bring together community representatives to help focus priorities and explore creative ideas.
To ensure all voices are heard, a Community Connects session will be held later this fall, where the findings will be shared, and residents will have an opportunity to provide input before the vision is finalized.
Let’s imagine MacTier together.
The Township of Georgian Bay is grateful for the support of FedNor, whose commitment to community growth and development is helping make the Refresh MacTier project possible.
