Georgian Bay Mnidoo Gamii Biosphere

The Georgian Bay Biosphere (GBB) is an inclusive and dynamic organization that builds capacity for regional sustainability in eastern Georgian Bay. Established in 1998, the GBB is a non-profit registered Canadian charity governed by a Board of Directors with an administrative office located in Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada.

In 2004, our grassroots nomination document was accepted by UNESCO as it met strict criteria for designation as a world biosphere. Biospheres receive no funding from UNESCO nor from Canada, but rely on charitable donations, government grants and contracts to deliver their work.
