Welcome! This account will keep residents and visitors up to date on experiences and events. Why is Goderich called Canada's Prettiest Town?
(58)

Legend has it that a relative of Queen Victoria once visited Goderich and told her what a beautiful town it was, whereupon Queen Victoria stated, "Surely that must be the prettiest town in Canada!"

09/30/2024

Today, September 30th, Goderich Tourism reflects on our journey of Truth and Reconciliation in Canada and celebrates those who keep our Native Land. Today is a day in which we give thanks for the gifts our home brings us and the people who are the stewards of this land.

The Town of Goderich has the privilege of being within the Traditional Territory of the Attawandaron and Ojibway peoples. This land is covered by Treaty 29 of 1827, and in the lands protected by the Dish With One Spoon agreement.

We recognize that Indigenous peoples have been using and caring for this land since time immemorial. We are grateful for their past and ongoing stewardship of the lands and waters, and wish to show them our respect today.

The people of Goderich are committed to addressing the historic and present injustices of colonialism. We acknowledge Indigenous peoples must be included and consulted on matters that impact their lands and waters, and strive to build strong relationships grounded on collaboration, respect, and trust.
