OUR COMMUNITY: OVERVIEW
Lambton Shores is a thriving community of neighbourhoods, both rural and urban, encompassing the shores of Lake Huron. The Municipality of Lambton Shores came to be when the Towns of Bosanquet and Forest, and the Villages of Thedford, Arkona and Grand Bend amalgamated in 2001.
Lambton Shores is home to quaint neighbourhoods, thriving businesses and a longstanding farming industry. Our 12,000-plus residents include young families, retirees, and everyone in between.
With premier beaches in Grand Bend and at Ipperwash, breathtaking sunsets and popular harbour-marinas in Grand Bend and Port Franks, it’s no wonder Lambton Shores is the summer retreat destination of choice for thousands of sun and nature lovers each year.
Our residents have a special appreciation for nature too, and we take pride in being home to the Oak Savannah Forest, Rock Glen Falls, Thedford Marsh, Pinery Provincial Park (Southern Ontario's largest forest area), and the Karner Blue Butterfly Sanctuary.
Beautiful parks, conservation areas, golf courses and – coming in the fall – the all new Lambton Shores Recreation Centre, all contribute to an excellent quality of life.
Ours is a community where, while we love our own village or town, we understand that the whole is truly greater than the sum of the parts – and that this new entity “Lambton Shores” provides us with an increasing quality of municipal services and facilities. In that respect, we have grown to become very proud of our Lambton Shores identity.
