Editor: Re your editorial comments on bylaws and the lack of effective bylaw enforcement in Clearview. There is bylaw enforcement in Clearview, it just happens to be selective in operation! Fail to register a dog that has passed away and within days of the final date to register the animal [...]
Editor: By the time this is read St. Patrick’s Day will have passed on after enduring heavy heated discussion in dispute over the brand changing of Creemore Springs Beer. An interesting anecdote as to the influence of a historical beer logo occurred with the most Irish of beers, Guinness, [...]
Editor: As a resident of Clearview living on Lavender Hill Road, this is what we are faced with every spring. It takes weeks of precarious driving on a pothole-filled road before the township grades it for a temporary fix. Why can’t this road be amended to sustain traffic for longer than a week [...]
The first Anglican Church in Creemore was an attractive building erected at the top of the hill south of what is now the Collingwood Street Bridge. The graceful spire and the columns at the front must have pleased the eyes of the settlers used to rude log cabins. Newly built, it opened in 1855 [...]

Home is the hunter. Home from the hill. It’s stymied my stalking endeavour. To track down this prey will take all of my skill. It’s a beast so elusive and clever. It’s said to inhabit the hills and the glens all along the Bruce Trails’ rugged measure. There clefts in the limestone can offer it [...]
Editor: I can remember buying my first six-pack of Creemore Springs beer 20 plus years ago, and have been a fan ever since. Who knew that eight years ago, we would move to Creemore and find really great friends, stores, restaurants and the brewery on our doorstep? In the summer, on our porch, [...]
Editor: I am writing to voice my support for the proposed plan to accept TD’s generous land donation to extend Creemore’s community gathering area. I believe this provides a rare opportunity to enhance the Station on the Green by creating a vibrant and multi-purpose village square that can [...]
Clearview’s planning department has been going through a lengthy review of the township’s zoning bylaw. The “housekeeping” exercise is intended to clean up the language, make it consistent and easy to interpret. One great example is that in one definition, many different uses were reduced into [...]
