Clearview Township is receiving provincial funding to strengthen its emergency preparedness and response capabilities.
Simcoe-Grey MPP Brian Saunderson announced the province is investing up to $46,828.70 through the Community Emergency Preparedness Grant to help the municipality better respond to emergencies. The funding will support the purchase of essential supplies such as cots, blankets, and a generator for emergency shelters, as well as an enclosed utility trailer to improve the storage and deployment of evacuation resources in areas prone to prolonged power outages.
“This investment will help Clearview Township strengthen its emergency preparedness and ensure residents are supported when it matters most,” says MPP Saunderson.
“From severe winter storms to extended power outages, having the right equipment and resources in place is essential,” adds Mayor Doug Measures. “Clearview is grateful for the support from the Provincial Government and the Ministry of Emergency Preparedness and Response. Minister Jill Dunlop and our MPP Brian Saunderson have demonstrated they care about the smaller communities across our province and are helping to keep our towns safe.”
The province says the grant is part of a broader effort to improve local resilience, with $15 million invested since 2023 to support hundreds of communities across Ontario.
