Trees of Remembrance for Reg Pye and Chris Carroll
On May 5, 2025, trees were planted at the Clayton Community Center Ballfield in memory of Reg Pye and Chris Carroll. Family and friends raised the funds through a BBQ fundraiser during a ball tournament. These trees will provide shade for future players and spectators, serving as a lasting tribute to Reg and Chris, who were both well-loved members of the community. They will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
The Clayton Community Center needs your help!
The Clayton Recreation Club has a straightforward Mission Statement: To ensure the long-term viability of the Clayton Community Centre (including the ballfield and grounds) as a hub for hosting a wide range of year-round activities and events for local and surrounding communities; and to provide an appealing, versatile facility for area residents, businesses and organizations to host their own events.
The current volunteer Board of Directors is prioritizing key capital projects over the next few years, including washroom and kitchen upgrades, siding repairs, backup power installation, and accessibility improvements. While we are actively fundraising and working with the municipality, we need added support to secure grants, finalize plans, and complete these projects. To learn more or offer your help, please contact [email protected].
Thompson’s Sweet Retreat Maple Syrup
Thompson’s Sweet Retreat is a family run 1200 tap award winning Maple Syrup Producer located at 1922 Clayton Road just outside of the village of Clayton Ontario. In 2024 they won Reserve Grand Champion at the Perth Festival of the Maples.
Visitors can take a tour of the production facility and go for a walk on the nature trail through the trees and around the pond. With the abundance of animals in the area (deer, turkeys, geese, ducks, squirrels, muskrats, turtles, wild birds and raccoons) a wildlife encounter is almost guaranteed. Over the last few years they have been a foster and rehabilitation home for orphaned baby raccoons through Holly’s Haven Wildlife Centre.
Watch for our Maple Weekend event in April and our Fall in Love with Maple event in October each year. We always have plenty of inventory available for purchase.

We acquired the ranch in the summer of 2020, and each day here feels like a refreshing escape from the everyday hustle. Once you step onto the property, it’s like entering a different world. Our nearly 500-acre ranch borders Taylor Lake and even includes part of an island!
We’re home to six wonderful horses: Angus, Oshki, Soup, Scarlette, Chyme and Teeter. We breed and raise performance horses, from English Hunter Ring competitors to Western Reining stars.
I’m a lifelong horse enthusiast with a background in competitive showing across North America and international events. Ryan, my partner, is an outdoorsman who enjoys hunting, fishing, and anything motorized, and he’s incredibly handy. Our connection was instant when we met in 2019, and just six months later, we were searching for a farm. We wanted a property with ample space—200 acres or more—to accommodate my horses and his outdoor pursuits. When we found this place, it felt like a dream come true. Despite initial doubts about its feasibility, we made it our own.
We’ve turned the ranch into a family haven, with my mom and Ryan’s parents both close by. The spa area, which was abandoned when we bought the property, has been revitalized with a lot of hard work. Friends often encouraged us to share this space, and after some thought, we decided that opening it up for others to enjoy our peaceful retreat aligns perfectly with our vision.
We’re passionate about supporting local talent and fostering a warm, welcoming environment for our community. In true Lanark County fashion, we also produce our own maple syrup using a wood-fired evaporator, giving it a distinctive flavour. With over 500 taps and growing, it’s another way we celebrate and share the unique character of our retreat.
