Description
MAILING ADDRESS:Town of Minto | 5941 Highway 89 | Harriston ON | N0G 1Z0 | PHONE:519-338-2511 | FAX:519-338-2005 The Town of Minto is composed of the former Towns of Harriston and Palmerston, the former Village of Clifford and surrounding rural area of the former Minto Township.
Located in the northwestern boundary of Wellington County, the Town of Minto is well situated between the major centres of southern Ontario and popular recreational areas along the eastern shore of Lake Huron and southern Georgian Bay. Minto is located just 1 to 1-½ hours from cities in the “Golden Horseshoe” industrial heartland, like Toronto and Hamilton, and less than an hour from Kitchener-Waterloo, and Guelph. The City of Owen Sound offers Great Lakes port shipping facilities, as does the Town of Goderich situated approximately 100 kilometres to the southwest.
From our earliest history until today, the success of our community has been a product of the creativity and imagination of the people who came here to build a life for themselves and their families. A spirit of enterprise and innovation has been a key ingredient in building the vibrant rural community that Minto is today. Our unique identity as a community is a product of a proud agricultural heritage, the history and
contributions of those who settled in this place, and the sense of volunteerism and commitment to community that has helped us achieve everything that Minto is today. Our culture and heritage is the glue that connects old residents and new, our past and our future.
The Town of Minto is an event and culture-based destination with numerous family-centred events and activities taking place throughout the community all year round. Enjoy our historic downtowns, which
feature live theatre, a cinema, galleries, a railway museum, shopping and restaurants.
Our community boasts three arenas, two swimming pools and numerous ball and soccer fields, acres of parkland and scenic walking trails. Stop and play golf, mini golf and lawn bowling. Minto is also home to wonderful agritourism destinations. Check out some of these unique
properties including Flowers to Fragrance Lavender Farm, WildThings Plant Farm, Reroot Organic Farm, Steckle’s Flowers & Produce and our popular Farmers’ Market in Palmerston which operates from the beginning of June till the end of August.
Escape from the chaos of daily city life and discover why
Minto is where your family belongs!

Going through Harriston anytime soon? Take a quick stop downtown to tour our new public outdoor art exhibit! "LIKE" the photo of your favourite cone in this album to vote for the People's Choice winner! #CoolConesCrawl For more information on the project visit www.treasuresofminto.ca Presented by: Harriston Downtown Revitalization Committee & Minto Cultural Roundtable In celebration of the Canada Packers Reunion taking place August 11, 2018 and the history of York Ice Cream production in Harriston, the Minto Cultural Roundtable and the Harriston Downtown Revitalization Committee have teamed up to launch an outdoor public art exhibit titled “Cool Cones”. “Cool Cones” will see 10 artists adding their art and craftwork to a three dimensional metal and urethane spray foam ice cream cone sculpture to create unique works of art. The base sculpture has been created by Minto’s very own Andy Pridham from “Weathered”. The “Cool Cones” will be on display from June 2, 2018 – October 26, 2018. “The Harriston Downtown Revitalization Committee has been working on this idea for a couple years now in an effort to stop traffic in the downtown core” said Manager of Economic Development Belinda Wick-Graham. A special event unveiled the “Cool Cones” on June 2nd and now the public is invited to vote on the “People’s Choice” cone from June 2nd – August 11th when the winning artist will be recognized at the Harriston Street Dance!
