Land Acknowledgement
We wish to acknowledge that we live, work on and enjoy the lands that have been inhabited by Indigenous peoples from the beginning. Indigenous families know these lands as the hunting grounds, medicine areas and gathering places. As newcomers, we are grateful for the opportunity to meet here and we thank the generations of Indigenous people who have taken care of this land and its waters for thousands of years.
Carling Township is on the homeland of the Anishinaabek, Ojibway, Odawa and Pota-wa-tomi peoples, under the Robinson-Huron Treaty. As we are all treaty people, it is important to learn about the lands we stand on and the people who live here. Carling Township is committed to providing services without oppression or racism and seeks to understand how we can contribute towards healing and reconciliation.
The Story of the
Township of Carling
The Township of Carling is situated on the eastern shore of Georgian Bay, directly northwest of Parry Sound. The Township was first surveyed in 1873 with a reported land area of 52,926 acres and 2,223 acres of water area. The Township was given the name Carling after the Honorable John Carling, president of the Carling Brewing and Malting Company and M.P.P for London in the 1860s.
On May 29th, 1897 Patrick McCurry, the Stependary Magistrate for the District of Parry Sound declared the “Creation of the Township of Carling.” Carlings first Reeve was David McFarland. Alexander Alves, Frances Dillon, John Buchannon, and David McFarland Jr were Carling’s first Councillors.
