With only a two-lane highway leading to South Bruce Peninsula, it makes accessing the town difficult. This, amongst other infrastructure problems, has hindered the area’s ability to attract new businesses and new talent. The town hasn’t quite seen the development that the Municipality of Kincardine - to the north of them - has experienced with Bruce Power. There is potential to expand the slate quarries that exist in the region, but there are some challenges with further development.
Given that South Bruce Peninsula is only a few hours’ drive from major urban areas like Toronto and Hamilton, is located on the water and has wide array of outdoor activities to participate in, there does exist opportunity for growth and expansion. Infrastructure issues, lack of full time jobs and a vibrant population are some of challenges that are hindering the community to reach its full potential. While the future of the South Bruce Peninsula could take off in many different directions, there exist plenty of untapped opportunities that could lead to its revival.
