The Scugog Region was the summer home of the Mississaugas for more than 100 years prior to European settlement. They travelled here each spring from the shores of Lake Ontario to enjoy the plentiful supply of maple syrup, wild rice, cranberries, and game such as deer and bear. The wide marsh that existed then abounded with ducks, geese and many other waterfowl. ("Scugog" is a native word meaning "marshy waters".) The Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation is a small aboriginal community with a very real understanding and appreciation of the concept 'survival of the fittest'. Geographically it is the closest First Nation to Metropolitan Toronto, the largest city in this country. The community is dynamic and development has occurred at a tremendous rate over the last ten years. The Great Blue Heron Charity Casino will be the central business venture providing strong economic development and future success for the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation.
