Mayor's Message

On behalf of myself and Brockton Council, welcome to our website. The Municipality of Brockton is a caring and kind community with unique charm and character in our rural municipality and hamlets, with a vibrant local economy that mixes urban energy, rural charm, and state-of-the-art innovation. Whether it’s the fresh air of our rolling countryside, the vast forested wetlands of Greenock Swamp or the sparkling waters of the Saugeen and Teeswater Rivers, we are proud of our rich natural environment and the enjoyment it offers in all four seasons.

Our farming community continues to be the economic driver in the region with some of the most modern farms, and some of the best farm land in the province. Brockton is a natural tourist destination for visitors who enjoy fishing, hunting, hiking, canoeing, heritage and much more. Our vibrant local economy mixes urban energy, rural charm and state-of-the-art innovation. Brockton features one-of-a-kind downtown shops, a strong agri-business community and leadership in drinking water excellence.

Come home to community. Come home to Brockton.

Mayor Chris Peabody
