Bridge to be named after former councillor

Former Clearview Councillor Ed Christie will be honoured with the naming of a bridge over the Batteaux Creek. Christie is remembered for his contributions to trail development on behalf of the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) and the Blue Mountain Snow Drifters.

Mayor Doug Measures says Christie had been working for many months prior to his death on creation of a trail bridge on the 30/31 Sideroad. He worked closely with OFSC and township staff to secure approvals from landowners and the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority.

Legion. She says the Legion is made up of people who understand service and the need to give back to their community and looks forward to making many new connections in the coming months.

Township staff will work with the OFSC on plaques to be erected at either end of the bridge recognizing Christie.

A resident of Nottawa, Ed Christie was elected to Clearview Council in 2018 and died in November 2019 from Acute Leukemia. He was 79.
