The Township of Brock is a municipal government in Ontario, located on the east shore of Lake Simcoe about 1.5 hours northeast of Toronto. It comprises the urban communities of Beaverton, Cannington, and Sunderland, along with surrounding hamlets and rural areas. Agriculture is the area’s largest employer, with a broader mix of commercial and industrial activity in the urban centers and a setting that supports year-round tourism due to its proximity to Lake Simcoe and the Trent-Severn Waterway. The township traces its formation to 1973, drawing together the former townships of Brock and Thorah and the villages of Beaverton, Cannington, and Sunderland, with its coat of arms adopted in 1988. In 2026, Fernando Lamanna was named Acting CAO and Clerk to guide the municipality through a transitional period while a permanent CAO is recruited.
