Cannington is a small village located in Ontario, Canada in Brock Township, which sits in the northern section of the Regional Municipality of Durham. It also holds the high school that serves the majority of Brock Township.
Cannington is one of three towns in Brock Township, a thriving series of communities about 1.5 hours north of Toronto. It (the township) sits on Lake Scugog and the Trent-Severn Waterway, and contains three thriving communities, one of which is Cannington.
Cannington was home to the notable author Timothy Findley, who wrote a memoir, From Stone Orchard, about his experiences at the farm on the outskirts of Cannington.
Until recently there were two public schools that served Cannington and the surrounding areas: Cannington Public School and H.W. Knight Public School which generally served the in-town children and the farming community respectively. The schools have recently been combined and now the different buildings house different grade levels. Planning has commenced on constructing a single school for the entire community.
Cannington has many club sports and leagues, including a Men's Hockey League, a Minor Hockey League, Softball Leagues, Hardball Leagues and a thriving Broomball League.
