1834 Métis house to be moved across Georgian Bay to become a museum
The historic Labatte House, a Métis residence dating to 1834, is being relocated to preserve it. The building weighs roughly 75,000 pounds, so the move across Georgian Bay to Balm Beach requires careful planning. The goal is to establish a museum focused on Indigenous and Métis history in the region. Restoration work is scheduled to begin soon, with a concrete foundation expected to be in place by spring 2027.
