Our New Town Logo

Monday marked the beginning of Clarenville Day's here in Clarenville.  Clarenville Days is a week long celebration of what we have in Clarenville.  Last evening we celebrated what could be.

After a year long development process, last night the Town unveiled its new branding strategy and logo - Real - Life - Potential .

Pilot Communications designed the logo, slogan and the marketing material including a new town website ( www.clarenville.net ) that you will see compliment the branding strategy.  kudos to them for suggesting such a bold move and kudos to the Town Council for buying into it. (The degree to which we see the town buy-in and live up to the "Brand Promise" remains to bee seen - I am watching to see real change - See my previous post on this http://ourtownclarenville.blogspot.ca/2012/04/sizzle-steak-brand-aid-for-clarenville.html ).  

The new logo is a complete departure from the traditional wheel and goose logos that we have seen in the past.  Some may argue that the new logo is too generic but there is no doubt what it says: it speaks of something critically important in our town - its future.  The logo, slogan and approach  is professional, clean and future looking - like our town needs to be if it is going to successfully harness its uncommon potential.


Traditionalist and long time residents may lament the loss of familiarity embodied in the old logos but we have to acknowledge the fact that the future success of this town is dependent on the future - the next generation and it's new citizens.   To choose to live here, they will want - demand - a more more professional forward looking approach at all levels in Clarenville.  The new Events Centre, the revamp of Elizabeth Swan Park and the logo embody this professional, forward looking approach.  

Applying a forward looking progressive approach across the spectrum of things that make Clarenville what it is will contribute to the value of the town to its residents and its future residents - many of whom will be our children or grandchildren.  My hope is that we'll move sooner rather than later towards better planning, better enforcement of rules and regulations and refocus our efforts on how things SHOULD BE rather than focus on how things are or how things were.

We are in a Very Different Spot - Finance Minister Wiseman on Budget 2015

Finance Minister Wiseman summed up the Province's 2015 Budget reality succinctly: “We are in a very different spot”.  In a period in which oil is less than half the value than it was a year earlier, “different spot” is may be a bit of an understatement.  Things have changed a lot in a year and the minister and the government is facing some serious challenges.  Minister Wiseman talk to the Clarenville Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday evening focused exclusively on how and why the government is planning to deal with the downturn – while trying to have a minimal impact on the economy.   In his address he covered the following topics – each of which spoke to the basic principles government has looked at in its crafting the budget: ·                   A Culture of Cost Management     A Refocus our Health System           A Refocus of the College of the North Atlantic           A Focus on long range planning for infrastructure with 5 year planning           A Readjustment

The Bare Mountain Centennial Star - College Community Involvement

  Bare Mountain is one of the prominent features of the Clarenville's skyline. It towers some 156 meters above Clarenville’s harbour .  You can reach the peak of Bare Mountain relatively easily along the Bare Mountain hiking trail that can be accessed at numerous points in the town.  At the top, you can overlook most of the town, Random Island and Smith Sound as it leads into Trinity Bay.   Beyond Clarenville residents, people are familiar with Bare Mountain because of the prominence of the large star that sits at its top.   Each Christmas season the star is lit - making it visible from the Highway many kilometers beyond Clarenville's boundaries.   The Bare Mountain Star was a 1967 Centennial project of the Town of Clarenville. The original Centennial Star was designed, welded, wired and assembled by students and faculty in drafting, carpentry, electrical, welding and pipefitting programs at Clarenville campus.  They even helped the Town erect the structure.
