Today
The historic naval and military base (Discovery Harbour) near Penetanguishene is open to visitors. At one time it offered trips in the two reconstructed sailing ships from the 1812 period, HMS Bee and HMS Tecumseth. While this is no longer permitted, the sailing ships may be visited in the harbour.
Penetanguishene, along with Parry Sound, is now one of the departure points for Georgian Bay's 30,000 Islands boat tours. These leave daily from the town's main dock.
Penetanguishene is home to the Mental Health Centre Penetanguishene, a maximum security mental health facility.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“Boundless in your charity, but shrewd and cautious as a lender, you delight all those today whom you made beggars the day before.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“We had to take the world as it was given:
The nursemaid sitting passive in the park
Was rarely by a changeling prince accosted,
The mornings happened similar and stark
In rooms of selfhood where we woke and lay
Watching today unfold like yesterday.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Everything here below beneath the sun is subject to continual change; and perhaps there is nothing which can be called more inconstant than opinion, which turns round in an everlasting circle like the wheel of fortune. He who reaps praise today is overwhelmed with biting censure tomorrow; today we trample under foot the man who tomorrow will be raised far above us.”
—E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
