ABOUT CHESLEY

Chesley is one of the Bruce County’s small town riverbank community located near the Saugeen River and referred to by locals as “The Nicest Town Around”. 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

Like our Mayor likes to say… we are half way to everywhere! Only 30 minutes to the beach, and 45 minutes to the ski hills! In Chesley there are multiple opportunities to experience nature and find work life balance. From Kayaking and Hiking to Skiing and Snowshoeing, enjoy some time in our backyard. But the most charming part of living and working in Chesley are…the people!
