Midland, Ontario

Midland is a town located on Georgian Bay in Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada.

The village (incorporated in 1878) thrived based on Georgian Bay shipping and the lumber and grain trade.

[3] The most significant damage was reported at Smith's Camp, a trailer park at the south end of the town, where several mobile homes were completely destroyed.

At one point, for the first time in 25 years, Emergency Management Ontario upgraded Environment Canada's tornado warning to an extreme severe weather warning called "Red Alert" which was issued for most of Southern Ontario's cottage country due to the approaching severe weather and the possibility of violent tornadoes, informing residents in the area that they should seek shelter.

[4] Midland is located at the south end of the Georgian Bay and is the northern anchor of the Simcoe County.

Thunderstorms, hailstorms, snowstorm, lake effect snow and freezing rain are also common for this city.

The largest, depicting a meeting between a local native and Jesuit missionary Jean de Brebeuf is on the silos overlooking the main harbour.

[6] Notable sites in or near Midland include the Jesuit mission of Sainte-Marie among the Hurons, which is now a living museum depicting missionary life in the 17th century.

The Centre is home to the Huronia Players, Quest Art School and Gallery, and Rotary Hall.

Many of these riders also participate in the popular weekly Time Trial series and group rides throughout the summer months.

The provincial cyclo-cross championships will be hosted in Midland on November 13, 2016, as part of the Silver Goose CX Race.
