Celebrate the Arrival of Labatte House:
Saturday, October 24, 2026 from 1-3PM
For nearly 200 years, Labatte House has stood at Thunder Beach. Built in 1834 by Louis-George Labatte and his family, it is the oldest known surviving historic Métis home in Ontario, a remarkable testament to the enduring history and heritage of the Métis people in the Georgian Bay region.
Now, the Métis Nation of Ontario has acquired this treasured piece of history and is relocating it to a permanent new home within Tiny Township, helping preserve its legacy for generations to come.
Join us to celebrate the arrival of Labatte House at its new home, an important milestone in preserving the history of the Georgian Bay Métis Community.
Where: 159 Balm Beach Rd E
When: Saturday October 24, 2026, 1:00-3:00 PM
