Communities

The township includes the communities of Bruce Station, Cloudslee, Plummer, Rock Lake and Rydal Bank.

The town of Bruce Mines is wholly surrounded by, but politically independent of, the township; it was separated in 1903. However, the 2010 mayoral election in Bruce Mines was won by Gordon Post, a candidate who pledged to investigate the feasibility of reamalgamating the two municipalities.[3]

History

Rydal Bank Church located at Rydal Bank within the township is a municipally designated heritage site.
