The town is part of municipality of Arran-Elderside, which also include the villages of Paisley and Tara. Founded in 1855, the town is home to Big Bruce, a 15ft tall herford bull statue noted for being one of Ontario’s greatest roadside attractions of 2021. The community is filled with outdoor attractions from hiking along the Chesley Heratige Trail to one of the best fishing in Ontario. In the winter, the community becomes a winter paradise with snowshoeing and cross country skiing.
HIGHLIGHTS
