recognized as the Gateway Port to Manitoulin Island and a critical
stop-over point for refueling and re-supplying water traffic on the Great
Lakes.In 1998, the Town of Little Current was amalgamated with the Township of
Howland and the McGregor Bay area to form the municipality that we now know as
the Town of Northeastern Manitoulin and the Islands. To this day, the Little
Current waterfront is the life-blood of the community and the key to its
economic success. The rich marine history of Little Current has continued to
present day where the 560 meters of town docks continue to host hundreds of

western Manitoulin to create family farms, many of them landed right here in
Burpee-Mills. About 330 people call our community home, and we're proud of the
friendship we enjoy and the services we provide. Our volunteer fire department
and recycling centre are two of the most obvious, but we've got more. Our
municipal complex houses a large community hall, township offices, fitness room

Nine or ten times each year the complex is also home to our famous pancake
breakfasts. Community volunteers make it happen, and hundreds of folks come
from miles around to enjoy good food and good times. We're proud of our
community, we take care to make it a great place to live, and we welcome

In 1866 the Township of Tehkummah was established,
taking its name from a man named Louis Tekoma, who came here after the signing
of the 1836 treaty made Manitoulin a native reserve for those loyal to the
British. The present day village of Tehkummah, surrounded by softly rolling
farmland, sits inland from the site of the original settlement at
Michaels Bay on the south shore. Michaels Bay was the site of a
highly successful sawmill which burned to the ground in 1914, along with the
village itself. Visit the Little School House Museum in South Baymouth to learn
more about Michaels Bay, and its interesting cast of characters, and the
history of Tehkummah Township.
