SEAFORTH
WELCOMES YOU!
Whatever the reason... whatever the season
Seaforth is an easily accessible
town on the busy Highway 8
corridor to Stratford and Lake
Huron that can't be overlooked.
Seaforth is a must-see for travellers
heading west for the lakeshore or
theatre patrons taking in local culture.
Seaforth is a town rich in history and
heritage.
Seaforth's most outstanding attraction
is its Main Street which boasts one of
the finest examples of late 19th century
streetscapes remaining in Ontario.
Buildings such as the Cardno Opera
Hall, the Carnegie Library, complete
commercial blocks dating from the
1870's and the restored Van Egmond
House are remarkable examples of this
area's architectural excellence.
This small town of 2,300 is big
on services, stores, facilities and
recreation. Seaforth has a
continually expanding
community hospital, two
residential care facilities for
seniors, a community centre
serving the town and
surrounding district, a variety of
parks and recreational facilities
including a superb 18-hole golf
course, curling club, bowling
alley, swimming pool, arena and
more.
There is always something
happening in Seaforth. Some of
the town's annual attractions
include: Agricultural Society
Tractor Draw - Dance
July 1, 1995.
Community Yard Sale
Aug. 5
Sidewalk Sales
Aug. 3 - 6
BIA Moonlight Madness

Lions Club Santa Claus Parade

All of these activities result from a
zealous community spirit cultivated by
the numerous community groups and
associations which make Seaforth a
wonderful place to live.
There aren't many places where you
can buy a 40,000 square-foot industrial
building on one acre of land for under
$300,000. Nor can you rent downtown
commercial space for under $3.00 a
square-foot in many cities. It's also
difficult to find a four bedroom home for
less than $100,000. In Seaforth you can
do all three!
We would be happy to help you find an
appropriate site for your business and
homes for your employees. We can even
find you the employees right here - there
are over 100,000 people within a 30-
minute commute!
Seaforth's getting better every day!
Come and see for yourself what our town
has to offer. For more information on
Seaforth, contact the Town Clerk's Office
