Featuring many unique environments - from limestone cobble shores and rolling farmlands to bur oak prairies and inland lakes - the Municipality of Gordon/Barrie Island comprises the North Central region of Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada.  Located in the North East corner of Lake Huron, Manitoulin Island is one of the few remaining unspoiled pieces of natural beauty in North America.

Gordon/Barrie Island is home to a diverse group of full- and part-time residents and several businesses.  Our municipality provides an ideal environment for hunting and sport fishing, farming, starting a business, raising children, and retirement.
