Welcome to the Village of Elmvale<br />
Welcome back to small town traditions where you’ll feel like you’re<br />
coming home. Located north of Barrie, in the Township of Springwater,<br />
about 90 minutes drive from Toronto, the Village of Elmvale serves a<br />
population of up to 20,000, including summer visitors. Elmvale and its<br />
surrounding area are largely supported through agricultural enterprises<br />
with significant contributions from recreational activities. Enjoy their<br />
small town traditions of friendly shopkeepers, personal attention and<br />
quality service in a relaxed atmosphere.<br />
With an active and engaging main street, Elmvale has art and<br />
photography galleries, a pharmacy with pharmacist Peter Whitfield, a<br />
well-known photographer, a modern library, more than a dozen service<br />
clubs, five churches, public and separate elementary and high school.<br />
Join the residents of Elmvale for the Maple Syrup Festival, Saturday,<br />
April 20th, 2013. Over the years the Elmvale Maple Syrup Festival has<br />
grown in popularity attracting thousands of people, to the streets and<br />
buildings of Elmvale. <strong>Visitors</strong> and<br />
vendors alike enjoy the hospitality of<br />
this small Ontario town and help in<br />
the celebration of the annual maple<br />
syrup production. The Festival strives<br />
to promote maple syrup products,<br />
local arts and crafts as well as local<br />
merchants, schools, and service<br />
organizations.<br />
The “running of liquid gold”<br />
transforms the town with vendors, food galore, book sales, collectibles<br />
and other small town treasures. This fundraising day helps support the<br />
needs of the community with all proceeds turned back to schools,<br />
music programs, library support, arena and community hall projects,<br />
