We watch the meetings
so you don't have to.
But someone should.
Clearerview tracks Clearview Township council meetings, reads the agendas, watches the recordings, and writes up what happened. Independent. Unpaid. Skeptical.

Single-dwelling lot on Cado Drive clears first hurdle; NVCA concerns remain

47-home Nadawa subdivision stalls on water capacity; residents challenge traffic and lot size
A proposal for 47 townhouse and detached units on Battle Road in Nadawa drew a packed room and pointed questions about water supply, school capacity, and whether the density fits the hamlet. The developer has joined a landowner group funding a water study, but no municipal services exist yet and the county school is already in portables.

124-unit Creemore subdivision draws sharp pushback on density, traffic, and storm water
A proposal to rezone 2.9 hectares at the north edge of Creemore for 124 townhouse and detached units triggered the longest and most contentious public meeting of the night. Residents challenged traffic studies, questioned underground storm water tanks, and argued the project doesn't fit the character of the village. The developer is part of a landowner group funding a water/sewer study; no capacity exists today.

What This Is
Clearview Township council makes decisions that affect your property taxes, your roads, your water, your zoning, and your community. Those decisions happen in meetings that most people never watch. The agendas are posted as PDFs. The recordings go up on YouTube days later. The minutes are approved weeks after that.
Clearerview exists to close that gap. We monitor the meeting calendar on clearview.ca, download the agendas when they're posted, watch the recordings after the meetings happen, and write plain-language summaries with commentary about what was discussed, what was decided, and what you should probably pay attention to.
This is not a news outlet. It is not affiliated with the township. Just a low tolerance for process theatre.
