The flag is a perfect symbol for unity, bringing together many parts of a whole. Since amalgamating, townships that take in a large area and several smaller communities have been struggling to find an identity. Currently, Mulmur is considering changing its title from a township to a town. At the same time, Clearview is rolling out its branding exercise. The brand, under the last term of council, cost more than $60,000 in consulting fees. The logo is the visual symbol that resulted from the exercise. Slapping the logo on the side of township vehicles and raising flags is the easy part, relatively speaking. Creating an underlying cohesive community is the hard part. It should not be seen as an attempt to dull the identities of Clearview’s communities. People who live and visit these communities identify with the parts of the whole more than the township itself. The branding exercise recommended maintaining the identity of each community but also bringing it Made in Creemore Tim Armour has fashioned a selfie stick for all luddites out there. under one banner.
