The geographic township of Laurier in Parry Sound District was named in 1878 for Wilfrid (later Sir Wilfrid) Laurier (1841–1919), then minister of inland revenue in Alexander Mackenzie's government and later Prime Minister of Canada, 1896–1911.[6]

## Transportation

[edit]

The Canadian National Railway transcontinental main line and Ontario Highway 11 travel a roughly parallel course from the middle of the western edge to the centre of the northern edge of the township.
