A huge thank you to everyone who joined our recent Community Gathering at The Lumberjack Tavern!

✍️We asked folks to write down “How would you describe Big Bay to someone who’s never been here?” and here's what you said:

"If you've never been to Big Bay...you MUST wave at passing cars."
"There is no place like Big Bay. Small but proud, very quiet, end of the road."
"Small, tight-knit community where everyone is welcoming and willing to lend a hand."
"Historic small town charm with world class scenic beauty."
"Full of spirit and love for the outdoors!"

Stay tuned for more events and initiatives as we continue to celebrate and care for our special town. In the meantime, let’s keep sharing our stories and ideas. Comment below with how you describe Big Bay! 👋🦟🌲📍
