The historic Labatte House, a Métis residence from 1834, is set to be carefully moved to Balm Beach to ensure its preservation. Weighing approximately 75,000 pounds, the relocation is a meticulous endeavor across Georgian Bay. This effort seeks to create a museum dedicated to Indigenous and Métis narratives in the area, with restoration scheduled to start soon and a concrete foundation expected by spring 2027.
