Clarenville Council's

The first Council’s object was mainly to prepare the ground work for the succeeding councils, such as the organization of a system of taxation, bringing in regulations and local laws, formulating some all over planning for the development of the town, road improvements, sanitary improvements, etc.

In 1952, the Council secured an adequate right of way for the main road through the town and in a short time Clarenville began to take on a new look as fences got moved back and wider and better roads took shape. Sewers have been installed in several problem areas and the town has been made cleaner by the development of a disposal area for refuse and the operation of a monthly garbage collection service.

Traffic regulations have been put into effect, taxed enforced and building controlled. And we now have the added convenience of street lighting.

Social benefits derived form the Town Council’s efforts are the making available of a splendid site for a Community Playground and Park, the support of groups endeavoring to have a Regional High School and an Exhibition Building located in the town and the development of our natural swimming pool and the erection of dressing rooms.
