A MESSAGE FROM THE CAO Welcome to the Township of Clearview’s Fall and Winter 2022-2023 Activity Guide!

There have been many tough decisions made regarding the closure of municipal facilities and programming – and staff and council alike have agonized over these decisions. We are truly looking forward to more events and get togethers as we navigate through what we all hope to be the final wave of this pandemic. Now more than ever we need to come together, safely and responsibly as a community and be very proud of the sacrifices we’ve made in keeping our community safe.

The activity guide will keep you informed as to what’s happening throughout the Fall and Winter of 2022 and into early 2023 with regards to recreational programming and upcoming events. I encourage you to check out the many events and get outdoors to experience what Clearview has to offer. Don’t forget to visit our many restaurants and businesses, while you are out and about in our wonderful community!

For the most up to date resources please check out our website at www.clearview.ca or by following us on Twitter @Clearview_twp or on social media at DiscoverClearview.

On behalf of Clearview staff, management and Council we look forward to the many upcoming events that mark the change of the seasons!

Be well, be safe and enjoy your day in Clearview!

Learn to Curl The Stayner Curling Centre offers a Learn to Curl Program. The program is designed for people who would like to curl but are unsure about how to get started or the sport in general. The program is offered in the Fall with daytime and evening sessions. The curling equipment is provided, and instruction is given by trained Club Coaches. You will quickly learn to curl and have a lot of fun doing it. Watch for registration on our web site www.staynercurling.com in September.

Our Curling Centre As much as curling is a sport that offers strategy and competition, it is the social aspect that attracts many of our Members. Curling is a sport that is equally enjoyable for all ages. Come and try us out!

Stick Curling It is now common to see curling stones being delivered from the upright position with a stick that is slipped over the handle of the curling stone.

This allows participation by people who have a physical limitation or those that are taking up curling later in life.

Using the stick removes the need to master the traditional slide delivery. You can curl as a stick curler in anyn of the Leagues.

Junior Program Check our website for registration dates and other details of this program 2022-2023 Registration Watch our web site for registration details starting in early September. Register for our Learn to Curl Programs or as a League Member. Register early to ensure your spot.

HERITAGE SITES HIKING TRAILS CREEMORE LOG CABIN – EARLY 1870S, RELOCATED 2011 First built at the edge of the village (at George and Mary streets) and constructed with trees harvested locally, this is the last original log house in Creemore. Its first residents were James & Abigail Scarrow and their ten children. Early in the 20th century, Joseph & Emily Veitch made it their family home, followed by their daughter, Hazel (Veitch) Shaw. Its last resident, Marlyn Shaw, lived in it alone for many years. Over time, the cabin’s exterior was radically altered, and its interior changed, but the basic structure remained. Early in this century, community volunteers raised funds to save the building and to reconstruct it centrally in the village on vacant former railway land. Owned by Clearview Township, the cabin is financially supported and administered by volunteers. It serves as a venue for cultural exhibits and programs.

“History Hosts” welcome visitors on Saturday mornings from Victoria Day to Thanksgiving, NORTH AMERICA’S SMALLEST JAIL – 1892 Under the direction of the village Constable, this little “lock-up” served for half a century as a secure place to jail lawbreakers. For offences like drunkenness or disturbing the peace, inmates were lodged here over night. Those charged with more serious crimes were held here until transported to the County Sheriff in Barrie.

The lock-up not only jailed lawbreakers, it occasionally provided social service. From its earliest years – and especially in the 1930s Depression – “tramps” found short-term shelter here and were fed at village expense. In the 1940s, new provincial police regulations closed this local lock-up. In the 1960s it re-opened as a tourist attraction, promoted as “North America’s Smallest Jail.” Although other communities may contest the claim, Creemore continues to affirm its title as a village with “a big heart and the smallest jail.” From May through October, the little lock-up is open daily to the public.

THE BRUCE TRAIL: Canada’s Oldest Marked Footpath Purchase a Bruce Trail Guide Book or download the Bruce Trail App. The Blue Mountain Bruce Trail Club maintain and promote the 67 km long section of the Bruce Trail that is through our region. The Club volunteers host hikes and events throughout the year and the End 2 End in May. New hikers are always welcome! www.bmbtc.org or www.brucetrail.org DUNEDIN RAVINE NATURE PRESERVE Located 15 minutes of Creemore on Concession 10, the 68.5-acre Dunedin Ravine Nature Reserve is along the Northern flank of the Noisy River Valley and provides habitat for Butternut trees, Shining-branch hawthorn and Bobolink.

LIME KILN SIDE TRAIL Look for the Franks Kiln Side Trail to see the kiln once used by early settlers to burn dolostone rock to create lime, and the Freedom Rock, with inscriptions on it made by people of days gone by.

CLEARVIEW ECOPARK Located in Stayner, the Clearview EcoPark Loop utilizes a mix of sidewalks and built trail network and with numerous access points into the various subdivisions both along the trail and west of the park. The EcoPark is the perfect destination for those looking to get out for a walk, bike ride or to go bird watching.

SNOWMOBILING

Get out and enjoy winter and the trails that Clearview Township has to offer!

Don’t forget that trail users are required to display a valid snowmobile permit that entitles you to enter and travel any open OFSC Prescribed Trail at any time during the winter as often as you wish.

They are the only source of funding for trail operations. To ensure that your money goes to the OFSC district you ride most, it is important to buy your permit from a club in that district.

The permit expires May 31 of the season of purchase. The permit is valid only in the province of Ontario and may be used for the Ontario Federation Of Snowmobile Club's Prescribed Trails. All permits must be purchased before travelling on the trails. They expire at midnight on the posted expiry date.

PARKING There is free parking in all municipal parking lots. Staging is best available at the New Lowell Recreation Park, 5212 County Rd. 9 and Station Park, 7259 Highway 26, Stayner.

Where can I purchase my permit? All permits are sold online.

CLEARVIEW KIN CLUB We are not new to the area, but a new chapter has begun. As we embark as a new club, we look forward to servicing and supporting our community. Stay tuned to see us helping and hosting future events. We are excited to get out into the community and start meeting our local residents.

Contact: Angie Emerson, 705-606-0973 or Ang9610@yahoo.ca LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL is the largest, most recognized service club in the world. The Stayner Lions Club has had a presence in this community for over 66 years. We are a busy club of men & women with a common goal - To serve. At the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, we supplied the nursing home and retirement home staff, with coffee and treats from Tim Hortons.

Just a small way to say thank you for their efforts during that difficult time. We hold an annual Mustang draw, suppers, pancake breakfasts, operate the concession booth at the arena and do park and roadside cleanup. Through our fundraising efforts, we can donate to camps for children with cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, vision loss and hearing loss. Locally, we support youth organizations and are always willing to lend a hand to those in need. Our Clearview community is always there to support our fundraising events! Thank you! If you are interested in becoming a member of the Stayner Lions Club, or would just like more information, call Sandra at 705-428-6316
