Hay Island (Georgian Bay)
Hay Island is a Canadian island in Georgian Bay, in the province of Ontario. It is one of three islands in Colpoy's Bay, and sits to the north east of Wiarton and north of Owen Sound. The other two islands in Colpoy's Bay are White Cloud Island and Griffith Island. It is known as Hay Island because of the abundance of hay grown dating back from 1856. British troops grew hay over long winters on this Island.
