Port Ryerse, Ontario
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Port Ryerse is a fishing village (hamlet, actually) in Norfolk County just slightly southwest of Port Dover where people from Southwestern Ontario rent cottages and fish for pleasure during the summer months (Victoria Day through mid-October). There are very few year-round residents and most of the people here drive to Port Dover or Simcoe to purchase groceries and other goods, although a historic general store was once present up until September 2004, when it sadly caught fire and burned down. However, a handmade soap and bath shop and folk art shop still exist in the community.
