Pelee is Canada’s southernmost community, a Lake Erie island township where day-to-day life leans into sky-wide horizons, quiet beaches, and strong neighborly ties. Governed by the Township of Pelee, and reached by the Pelee Islander ferry or a small airstrip, it’s within easy reach of supermarkets and services in Leamington and Kingsville, with broader arts, healthcare, and shopping in Windsor and across Essex County.
Nature is your backyard: hike the wind-shaped sand spit at Fish Point Provincial Nature Reserve, scan the shoreline at Lighthouse Point for migrating songbirds and monarchs, or cycle quiet roads past rare alvars and vineyards. The Pelee Island Heritage Centre dives into Indigenous history, winemaking, shipwrecks, and the island’s renowned spring and fall birding. Summers bring beach days, paddling, and stargazing under dark skies; winters deliver peaceful trails and a tightly knit calendar of community events.
For families, elementary learning is available on-island through the public board in an intimate, multi-grade setting, while older students typically attend mainland schools with transportation and flexible scheduling coordinated around ferry service. Everyday essentials are covered by island businesses and seasonal markets, and residents tap township services, library programming, and recreational facilities organized by the municipality.
