Currently rent is allocated equally amongst all the physicians in the building. Bonuses for preventive care are paid to each physician individually.

The Community

Parry Sound is a community of 6500 residents, 1 hour and 15 minutes north of Barrie, and 2 hours from Toronto on Highway 400. The catchment area is 30,000. We are nestled in the heart of the gorgeous 30,00 Islands of Georgian Bay. The area is known for outstanding fishing, swimming, boating, kayaking, and canoeing. Multi use trails abound. Several great provincial parks are close by, most notably Killbear Park. Winter activities available: XC skiing, snowshoeing, skating, and snowmobiling. We host the world-renowned annual Festival of the Sound, a summer, 3-week chamber music festival held at our modern Stockey Center for the Performing Arts. This facility also offers many concerts and events throughout the year. Sports leagues (hockey, curling, soccer, baseball, slow pitch, etc…) are available, as are children’s activities and lessons that include dance, swimming, music, art, and figure skating.
