Unorganized North East Parry Sound District is an unorganized area in Parry Sound District in Central Ontario, Canada.[3] It is served by the local services board of Laurier[4] and is part of the Almaguin Highlands region.[5] The region had a population of 179 in the Canada 2021 Census, and a land area of 183.04 square kilometres.
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]
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.
