Welcome to the Township of McMurrich/Monteith! We are a small community made up of approximately 800 year-round residents who enjoy the quality of life offered by the Almaguin Highlands. The Township of McMurrich/Monteith has 1,800 residents total, including the summer/seasonal residents. Our Township is proud to be considered one of the Villages of Almaguin! The town centres within McMurrich/Monteith include Sprucedale, Bear Lake and Whitehall. Sprucedale is a quiet community that boasts open spaces at affordable prices. Our communities offer a wide range of services to its residents and have access to most other services within a 15-20-minute drive to Burk’s Fall’s or Huntsville. For recreation, our Community Centre offers a capacity of 194 persons, which can be used for weddings, meetings, dances, exercise classes, craft sales and much more. Beside the Community Centre is the arena, used for skating in the winter, and as an outdoor facility in the summer. Within the vicinity of the Community Centre, we also offer a ball diamond and a soccer field. Come check out our playground that is situated across from the Township office and Community Centre on William Street. We have recently upgraded the Betty Forde playground to include a train for the children, part of the commemorative ceremonies for McMurrich’s 125th Anniversary. As well in 2018 the addition of a playground at the Doe Lake Beach area was installed, located off Almaguin Drive at the end of Birch Court. This playground was donated to our area by Highlands Early Learning and Child Care Centre for the Parry Sound District, Social Services Administration Board
