Mead is a Dispersed Rural Community and unincorporated place in geographic Lowther Township,[3] Cochrane District in Northeastern Ontario, Canada. The community is counted as part of Unorganized Cochrane North Part in Canadian census data, and is located just north of the border with Algoma District.
