Greetings from The Mayor Welcome to the 2019 Spring and Summer Clearview Township Activity Guide.

It would be my hope that you will find opportunities to explore and discover Clearview Township inside the pages of this guide. Clearview is such a wonderful place to live. We are blessed with beautiful landscapes, the wonders of our natural environment, and the friendliest people anywhere in Ontario! If you have an interest in rural culture or a taste for the urban fare, you may find it here. If you don’t find what you are looking for in this guide, then please take a look online at our Discover Clearview website, discoverclearview.ca.

Clearview Township is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. We’ve come a long way since 1994! Recreation services and community cultural celebrations are all part of the Clearview experience. Come out and meet your neighbours at one of our Small Halls events, or cheer on the local teams and show the province that rural living is something we celebrate every day.
