Get outside and #WalkYourWard
Starting February 14, we're challenging you to share your photographs on social media throughout the year that you think best represent the Severn community. Visit your favourite places, discover new ones, share the places you love in Severn and celebrate what makes our community special. Find your ward and learn more about where you live at severn.ca/wards.
To participate, residents are encouraged to explore their wards on foot, by bike, on skis (or another way that gets you moving), pausing to take pictures of their favourite locations and destinations along the way. From there, images can be uploaded to social media (Instagram, Facebook and Twitter) using the hashtag #WalkYourWard for a chance to be featured on Severn's website and social media channels.
"There is so much to see, do, and explore within Severn’s five wards—so much of which is unknown to or overlooked by those who’ve yet to visit. This challenge is a wonderful way to start illuminating some of these things while helping residents break up the doldrums of winter."
For more information or to follow along, visit our Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter accounts.

About Severn
Located just 90 minutes north of the GTA and easily accessed from major highways 400, 11 and 12, Severn is nestled in the northern corner of Simcoe County and is considered the gateway to the Canadian Shield. Its sprawling network of trails, combined with pristine lakes and rivers have created an all-season destination for adventurers to explore, while festivals and events, boutique shops, dining establishments, and historic buildings offer something to appease almost everyone else. With a friendly and welcoming residential population spread across a series of charming settlements, Severn is known as a community of communities—both a beloved escape and a place to call home for those who seek a balanced lifestyle.
