Midland serves as the gateway to Georgian Bay's stunning archipelago. The area is the ancestral homeland of the Huron-Wendat, the "people of the island," who called their land Wendake, "the land apart." French Jesuits arrived in the early 1600s, and built a mission, Sainte-Marie-among-the-Hurons, which today can be visited to explore the history of Wendat and French Jesuit settlements. The natural wonders of the region are accessible at the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre, which provides habitat for the iconic trumpeter swan, native to the region and the symbol of Midland.
