Townsend, Ontario

Townsend, Ontario

Townsend is a planned community in Haldimand County, Ontario, Canada that was founded in 1970. While there used to be some commercial activity (variety store, hairdressing salon, and other numerous small businesses), the community now consists of almost purely residential and government-use property. The governmental services in the area mainly cover children's issues and mental health issues.

It was supposed to have a population of 100,000 people by the year 2000 but they couldn't find enough people to work at the nearby Stelco steel plant and so the community has stagnated over the years. There is a school in the region called Townsend Central Public School which in addition to its own students, houses the sixth grade graduates of Bloomsburg Public School. However, they do not have a special education program.
