GREETINGS FROM THE MAYOR Welcome to the 2020 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. 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 Live your best life in Clearview Township. @Clearview_twp

HERITAGE SITES BETHEL UNION PIONEER CEMETERY This cemetery was established in 1855. It was considered one of the only integrated cemeteries of its time, with black, white and aboriginal peoples all buried in it. It remained an active cemetery until 1940 and ended up falling into a state of disrepair by the 1960’s. Prison inmates were used to clear away the surrounding debris of the site however; it fell into disrepair again by the 70’s. It continued to remain in a woeful state until 1997 when Jane Cooper-Wilson and a group of volunteers secured permission from the Township of Clearview to restore and maintain the site. Her organization, The Silver Shoe Historical Society has worked hard to restore and maintain the cemetery. They have also discovered around 400 documented burials with even more awaiting investigation. Address: 2249 Creemore Avenue, New Lowell

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. Address: 141-151 Library Street, Creemore
