Contents |
South Bruce was created in 1999 as part of county-wide municipal restructuring. In 1998, the Township of Culross and the Village of Teeswater amalgamated to form the Township of Teeswater-Culross. Similarly, the Village of Mildmay joined with the Township of Carrick to form the Township of Mildmay-Carrick. The following year, both Mildmay-Carrick and Teeswater-Culross amalgamated again to form South Bruce, choosing Teeswater as the seat of the municipality.
According to the 2006 Census, South Bruce is home to 5,939 people over an area of 487.17 square kilometres. This is a 2.0% drop from the population of 6,063 recorded in the 2001 census. There were 2155 private dwellings occupied by usual residents, out of a total of 2297 dwellings.[1]
