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.

Our Township encourages events that promote community spirit and connect residents and visitors in each of our hamlets and villages. Come and meet your neighbours at one of the Small Halls events, cheer on the local sports teams or volunteer for a local organization. Recreation services and community cultural celebrations are all part of the Clearview experience. Each year, I am joined by our Council at the Culture & Sports Hall of Fame Awards to honour individuals, teams and organizations that have made an impact in Clearview. We are proud of our rural roots and look forward to an exciting future!

You can stay connected to Clearview Township by visiting our website clearview. ca. Or explore the tourism opportunities at discoverclearview.ca
