Our Mission:

Saving Our Rich Heritage

From the ancient canoe and snowshoe routes of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation to the vintage yellow brick houses built with local clay to the stunning Lake Huron sunsets and a quaint main street leading to the beach, Southampton has a unique cultural heritage worth preserving. We love the piper as the sun drifts below the horizon, the pow-wows at Saugeen First Nation, the river's working harbour, concerts in the Fairy Lake bandshell, and even the fierce snow squalls of the Great Lakes; it’s all cultural heritage and it all matters.

We are committed to:

Listening and engaging with the community about what the heritage environment of our town means to us all, and how the diverse nature of our 6,000-year- old history can be commemorated and understood now, and for the generations to come, building bridges between people and histories to build our town for a bright future.
