We watch the meetings
so you don't have to.
But someone should.
Clearerview tracks Clearview Township council meetings, reads the agendas, watches the recordings, and writes up what happened. Independent. Unpaid. Skeptical.

What This Is
Clearview Township council makes decisions that affect your property taxes, your roads, your water, your zoning, and your community. Those decisions happen in meetings that most people never watch. The agendas are posted as PDFs. The recordings go up on YouTube days later. The minutes are approved weeks after that.
Clearerview exists to close that gap. We monitor the meeting calendar on clearview.ca, download the agendas when they're posted, watch the recordings after the meetings happen, and write plain-language summaries with commentary about what was discussed, what was decided, and what you should probably pay attention to.
This is not a news outlet. It is not affiliated with the township. Just a low tolerance for process theatre.
