Local attractions

Hi!

Great article on Parry Sound, is anyone from there? We could perhaps add more of the local attractions not already included in its own section? --ShaunMacPherson 19:46, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

There's a Wal-Mart with a McDonalds in it next to a standalone McDonalds... Not really anything else that isn't already mentioned. There's some annual celebrations in the town square and some of the roads nearby, but I don't know much about the details. One of them's posted on a sign near the mall. 24.146.8.72 18:15, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Depot Harbour

Dan Crawford 99: It is Depot, not Depo. The Parry Sound Public Library's Web site [1] has the correct spelling.

Question - Depot Harbour destruction by fire The Parry Sound page refers to Depot Harbour's destruction by fire during V-E Day celebrations, but the Depot Harbour page says it was destroyed on 8/14/45 during V-J Day celebrations - at least one of those must be incorrect.--Byoolin 12:53, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Depot Harbour page is correct: the date given by the Parry Sound library pages linked above is V-J Day. I've also re-worded things a little, to indicate that the fire was accidental. It was funnier with the implication of deliberate destruction intact, but not accurate. Unless someone's got a reference... —Eric S. Smith 18:44, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Content

Please note that several recent additions to this article were formatted in the style of a Parry Sound tourist brochure, not an encyclopedia article. I've reformatted them in proper encyclopedic format. Bearcat (talk) 18:32, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Parry Sound Development

Perhaps someone could add a section on the main article about the development of Parry Sound including the south end of town.

Notable People

Should Ian Borden, President, International at McDonald’s Corporation and soon (as of Sept 1) CFO McDonald's Corporation be added to the list of notable people? 192.55.55.57 (talk) 19:57, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The list should only include people with a wiki article, and when a reliable source ties them to the location. If he meets both, add him and the source. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 20:33, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
