About us

With a strong sense of of togetherness, residents celebrate the shared values of warmth and community that define the area. Huron East is not only a municipality where connections thrive and opportunities flourish, but an inviting space to sow your roots. 

Our historic charm adds to our unique appeal.  The Brussels Dam, a testament to local ingenuity, proudly reflects the area's resourcefulness, while Seaforth's train tracks have been vital arteries for trade and connection.  Vanastra's Royal Canadian Air Force Station - once a top-secret military base - marks an intriguing chapter in our historical narrative. 

As the community evolves, it embraces growth opportunities while maintaining its smalltown allure.  Positioned close to large urban centres like London and Kitchener-Waterloo, Huron East is poised for development.  With a focus on enhancing local infrastructure and promoting its scenic beauty, Huron East offers opportunities to connect, celebrate and cultivate a bountiful life. 

Our history

Huron East was incorporated in 2002 after the amalgamation of the former Townships of Grey, McKillop and Tuckersmith, the Town of Seaforth and the Village of Brussels. 

We invite you to immerse yourself in history by visiting one of our historic downtowns, taking a self-guided tour of a former top secret Air Force Base in Vanastra or touring an excellent example of a Georgian country manor house dating back to the 19th Century in Egmondville.
