Council invites suggestions for names of two roads: TransCanada Highway going through Clyde River and Service Road
Presently, the TransCanada Highway from Charlottetown to Borden runs through the municipalities of Cornwall and Clyde River. Later this year the Cornwall bypass highway will provide an alternate route between the roundabout at North River and the roundabout/interchange that will be built at the west side of Clyde River. The portion of the present TransCanada Highway that runs through the Municipality of Cornwall has already been renamed by Cornwall Council. The Clyde River Council would like our community to name the portion of the TransCanada Highway that lies within the Municipality of Clyde River. Also, there is a service road to be named.
Clyde River Council is inviting community residents to provide input on naming the two roads: the service road and the section of TCH running through Clyde River – each road will have a different name. You can include your suggestions for names in the comments section below or email administrator@clyderiverpei.com.

Spring clean up of Murchison Place Park will take place this Saturday, May 4th, 9:00 a.m. until noon. Take along a rake, work gloves and any other useful garden equipment e.g. wheelbarrow. Refreshments will be served. It will be a great time to catch up and clean up after our long winter.
The clean up is taking place early this year as work is being done to the Park throughout May to replace boardwalk. For safety reasons, the Park will be closed to visitors during that time.
