Kincardine
- Our Home -
Kincardine’s heritage dates back to its inception as ‘Penetangore’ in 1848. The name
is believed to be the mispronunciation of an Ojibway First Nation word that Scottish settlers understood to mean “river with sand on one side.” Kincardine was later renamed
and incorporated as a village in 1858. The community continued to grow with the iconic
lighthouse being constructed in 1881. The town remained a proud lumber, salt, fishing,
furniture and agricultural hub and a gateway to Bruce County for decades until the arrival
of nuclear power in 1968. When Canada’s first commercial nuclear reactor was built at
Bruce Township’s Douglas Point, everything changed. The Bruce Nuclear Power Development reshaped the face of the local economy and demographics of the region through
the construction of the eight nuclear reactors at Bruce A and B sites between 1977 and
1987. A dark time saw the town suffer through a recession in the late 1990s after Bruce
A was shutdown under the former Ontario Hydro (now Ontario Power Generation). But
new life was thrust into the community in 2001 when Bruce Power was formed and the
company leased the nuclear site from OPG. Since then, Kincardine has thrived once more
with Bruce Power securing the life extension of the nuclear site for generations to come.
Our community includes the Town of Kincardine, the Village of Tiverton, along with the
hamlets of Inverhuron, Bervie, Armow, Millarton, Glammis, North Bruce and Underwood.
See all that there is to see!

A message from our mayor
“Cead Mile Failte” A hundred thousand welcomes to all our visitors!
On behalf of the council for the Municipality of Kincardine, it is a pleasure to welcome you to our vibrant agricultural centre and naturally
beautiful tourism region. A community deeply rooted in Scottish heritage, culture and ancestry, it is evident to even a first time visitor just
how much we take pride in our past, and celebrate our future. We are
home to the renowned Kincardine Scottish Pipe Band and the weekly
Saturday night parades, a main street tradition in the summer months
for more than a century. An abundance of events and festivals keep
our spirit alive and well on a year round basis - a testament to our
many tireless volunteers, of which we could not do without. A spectacular beachfront and harbour beckon with walking paths, a communitygardened boardwalk and heritage rock garden, all perfect places to experience our photo-worthy Lake Huron sunsets. Tremendous recreational opportunities abound throughout the year.
To name a few, an indoor swimming pool, a splash pad, skateboard park, indoor walking track,
children’s playgrounds, multi-use trail system, surfing, Mountain Bike Park, and more - we’re
sure that you’ll never run out of things to do! We invite you to shop our lakeside downtown,
attend a live theatre performance, camp at Inverhuron Provincial Park, or take in a game of golf
– the options are endless. If visiting during the winter season, snow-shoe, cross country ski or
winter hike a great selection of local trail systems. OFSC District 9 Snowmobile trails are also
plentiful and accessible from many local crossroads, restaurants and hotels. Whatever your
pleasure – or season – we have something for you. Enjoy, appreciate and come back often.

Station Beach
Kincardine’s Station Beach is the pride of local residents, who voluntarily patrol and
care for the area. Along the boardwalk leading to the pavilion you’ll see beautiful gardens
cared for by volunteers who showcase their talents for our local and summer guests.
Take a read of the descriptive plaques along the boardwalk to learn a bit of history of the
area. The wreck of the schooner Ann Maria rests in the wake by the south pier. All but two
souls perished when it sank on Oct. 7, 1902. At the beach you’ll see kiteboarders, kayakers, swimmers, volleyballers, sunbathers and those just out to enjoy the beauty. The
beach has a snack bar, washrooms, fish cleaning station, children’s playground equipment, scenic pavilions and beautiful beach stones. *Swimmers should be aware of the
dangerous rip current that flows out to Lake Huron along the south pier. As a safety precaution, swimming should be avoided during times of heavy wave action.

Our Lighthouse
The Kincardine Lighthouse is the most iconic building in
the Municipality of Kincardine and it has acted as a boater’s
guide to safety since it was erected between 1880 and 1881.
The uniquely combined tower and keeper’s quarters once serviced the Kincardine’s historic fishing, salt and furniture industries. The eight-sided tower stands 24 metres (74 feet) above
the two-storey keeper’s quarters, which is built on a stone foundation. The three levels of the lighthouse are joined by almost
perpendicular, well-worn staircases totalling 69 steps, which
were climbed at least twice a day by lighthouse keepers. Barrels of kerosene were once used to fuel the lamp and had to be
hoisted to these heights. The first lamp had shutters rotated
by weighted chains to make the light flash. In 1922, the lamp
became electrically powered and today utilizes a large 500-watt
lamp. Sailors, recreational boaters and commercial fishers can
see the light from a distance of 30 km. Managed by the Kincardine Yacht Club, it now operates only as a marine museum on a
seasonable basis. The range light on the north pier is now the
official beacon used by boaters. Also, watch out for our town
mascot, Blinky the Lighthouse!
For info call 519-396-2731 or 519-396-4336 or visit kyc.ca
Marina &
Boardwalk
The Kincardine Marina is one
of the oldest historical marine
gateways into Bruce County
and is based at the mouth of
the Penetangore River. Operated by the Kincardine Yacht Club (KYC), the marina features
slips and docks for boats of varying sizes, a fish cleaning station, boat launches, washroom facilities, gazebos, picnic tables
and barbecues for boaters. Fishing and sailing charters are
also an option for visitors. Next to the marina is beautiful Station Beach and boardwalk along the former rail line, with flower
gardens, volleyball courts and a snack bar. Stop by and tour the
Kincardine Fish Hatchery across the street to see how volunteers keep the fish stocks strong (519-396-5833). Restaurants,
shops and motels are only a short walk up the street.
For info call 519-396-4336 or visit kyc.ca
Kincardine Trails System
Any time of year, take a stroll through one of the many Kincardine Trails. The winding
system features over 22 km of all-season trails within the Town of Kincardine. Keep an eye
out for event postings online and on social media. A large portion of the trails are treed,
providing excellent shade on those hot summer days. From downtown, Geddes Environmental Park by Queen Street bridge is a great spot to get started. Look for entrance signs
off major roads to get started on your adventure. The Kincardine Labyrinth Peace Garden
is located in the heart of Kincardine at Geddes Environmental Park and is a great starting
point. Many new trails and bridges have been added the past couple of years, with plans
to connect to Inverhuron in the future.
For maps, routes or information contact Kincardine Tourism, visit
kincardinetrails.net or join the Kincardine Trails facebook group.
Fish
Kincardine Derby
Celebrating its 31st year in 2016,
the Fish Kincardine Derby is set for
May 20-29, the event offers a $5,000
shopping spree at Canadian Tire for
the top salmon, plus a number of
other prizes provided by local merchants. Top salmon and trout each

Lake Huron Rod & Gun. Many other
deals and events will be taking place
throughout downtown Kincardine.
Camping is also available by the
marina.

Victoria Park &
Scougall Galleries
The arts are a valued part of the
Municipality of Kincardine. Local and
guest artists regularly showcase their
work at the Victoria Park Gallery, located
in Queen Street’s old town hall, the Kincardine Centre for the Arts. From photography, to paintings and sculptures, the gallery is a place to stop, shop and come back
often. Also featured is the legendary work
of John H. Scougall, a beloved local photographer who immortalized the community during the early days of film, by capturing scenes, emotions and landscapes
that will be viewed for generations.

Kincardine Scottish Pipe Band
Saturday Night Parades
The Kincardine Scottish Pipe Band
marks 108 years as a band in 2016, as the
band continues marching and making history. The Saturday Night Parades draw
thousands of people each week from the
local area, regionally and even from around
the world, starting on June 25 until Labour
Day weekend (Sept. 3). The parade begins
at 8 p.m. sharp at Durham Market Square
North and rounds the corner north on
Queen Street. The parade makes its way to
Quinn Plaza to allow for a break and meetand-greet for children with the pipers and
drummers. Regrouping afterwards, the
band marches back to Victoria Park for a
riveting concert to wrap up the evening.
The oldest street band with unbroken service in Ontario, members take pride in welcoming anyone interested in learning the
pipe and drums free of charge. The band
was founded by William Young in 1907, but
didn’t take to the streets until 1908. At that
time the fledgling band practiced in what
is now the award-winning Sugar Shack
Tattoo and Art Gallery. The pipe band is a
charitable organization and is always looking for donations. Will ye no come back
again?

Phantom Piper
Most nights from July to Labour Day,
visitors and local alike can bring in the
evening with the soothing sounds of the
bagpipes as the Phantom Piper plays
down the sun from the Kincardine Lighthouse. The pipers are proud members of
the Kincardine Scottish Pipe Band who
donate their time to perform every year.
Pipers start their tunes shortly before
dusk and wrap up shortly after the sun
passes beyond the horizon.
Splash Pad
The Kincardine’s Lions Club
Splash Pad at the Davidson Centre was a great addition to the
community in 2015. The facility
has a variety of water features
across a 3,000 square foot pad.

Inverhuron Beach
Inverhuron Beach, located in the hamlet of Inverhuron, is sheltered, beautiful and open
to the public. It is accessible by driving west of Tiverton on Bruce Rd. 15. The area is perfect for swimming, kayaking, bodyboarding, building sand castles, picnicking or just laying around, soaking up the sun. Just south of the river, you can see the remains of the
once large shipping pier that burned well over a century ago. McIntyre Park is just steps
from the water. Inverhuron Provincial Park is across the bay and the Inverhuron Mountain
Bike Park is just a short drive north off Albert Street. Inverhuron Kids Day is a popular
event with sand sculpting and food for guests. The season wraps up with the Inverhuron
Corn Roast and the Inverhuron Fun Run. This quiet hamlet is a bustling network of activities, with many summer residents enjoying its natural qualities.

Presents “Talking Dirty”
One of the all time Canadian classic comedies, Talking Dirty, (subtitled
‘A Comedy of Manners’) is a witty,
contemporary satire on sexual fun and
games. Michael Kaye and Dave Lerner
find themselves at an out-of-town
convention; one looking to have an
affair, the other, already in the midst of
an amicable break-up. And when the
women show up, all hell almost breaks
loose. It’s funny, sexy, and just dirty
enough. The play packs an 80’s punch,
but still begs the question, ‘how much
has really changed and how much has
stayed the same?’

For nearly 30 years the award-winning Kincardine Theatre Guild (KTG) has been delighting audiences from near
and far with its broad range of productions. Each show
demonstrates the talents of many local actors and crew
members that volunteer their time to make each performance a memorable one. The theatre season runs
from September to June and produces three shows each
season. The Guild was born in 1982 when a small group
of residents responded to the need for live theatre in the
community. KTG is a wholly volunteer, non-profit, fun,
community theatre company run by an elected Board of
Directors. It has since climbed to an award-winning level
that is envied by both professional and semiprofessional
theatre groups. We love it when you come to the theatre!
Don’t miss Mrs. Parliament’s Night Out with eight
shows between May 27 and June 11. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat will run this holiday season.

Kincardine water sports
Kincardine’s Station Beach is keeping up with
some of Canada’s coastal surf spots and is listed
as one of the top five places in the country to enjoy
various types of surfing, paddleboarding, kiteboarding and other water sports. Keep in mind,
the weather plays a huge part in the swell size and
breaks here, but plan it out online and you can find
yourself with some solid 10-foot waves. When it’s
wavy, surfers flock here and use social media to
coordinate trips. After surfing, enjoy a hot shower
at the beach and a cold drink at a local restaurant
downtown, just minutes away.
