Welcome to the Township of Brock
A Community With a Heart!
The Township of Brock is located on the east shore of Lake Simcoe approximately 1 hour northeast of Toronto. The municipality presents three distinct urban areas, numerous hamlets, and beautiful countryside. While agriculture is our largest employer, a full range of commercial and industrial businesses are located within the urban areas of Beaverton, Cannington, and Sunderland. The Township’s location on Lake Simcoe and the Trent-Severn Waterway make it a popular destination for tourists - both summer and winter!
The municipality was named for General Sir Isaac Brock, a young soldier who was shot by the Americans as he led his soldiers into battle attempting to prevent the Americans from establishing a landing at Queenston Heights during the War of 1812.
The municipality was created as a result of the proclamation of the Regional Municipality of Durham Act, S.O. 1973 and consists of the former Townships of Brock and Thorah, the Village of Beaverton, the Village of Cannington, and the dissolution of the Police Village of Sunderland.
The Township’s coat of arms was designed and formally adopted on November 28th, 1988. There is also a detailed explanation of the arms depicted.
