Welcome to the Municipality of North Perth
We are proud to have served the North Perth for 25 years – a community of wonderful people and top quality businesses. - Shane Van Allen, Owner, Van Allen Insurance
Greetings from North Perth where time is forgotten and life is lived to the fullest! As Perth County’s ambassador of small town charm and big city convenience, the communities of Listowel, Atwood, Monkton, and Gowanstown make up this thriving area.
Enjoying its time in the spotlight this past year is the village of Monkton on the kids TVO series “Giver 2”, a 13-part live action TV series that teaches and encourages kids to become more involved in their local communities. The program helped rebuild the local playground in Monkton and it awaits your arrival to enjoy with the family! 
Whether a sports enthusiast, supporter of the arts, history buff or someone that loves to shop, North Perth offers something for everyone! Take advantage of the 22 km North Perth Community Trails and enjoy the mixture of farmland, parks and former railway lines. Connecting Gowanstown to Henfryn, Listowel and Atwood, the trail offers hiking, cycling, horseback riding and cross country skiing. Spend a day in Listowel visiting the playgrounds, soccer fields, 2 golf courses, tennis courts and skate board park. Pack a picnic lunch or pick up some take out from one of the family run restaurants and head over to pavilion next to the pool and splash pad. It’s the perfect location for the entire family to enjoy on a beautiful summer day. Listowel offers a bustling downtown shopping district and a dynamic business and commercial sector on the edge of town. Women’s fashions, jewellery, home décor and treasure hunting at vintage stores are all waiting for you to explore. For the history buff, the Carnegie Library and magnificent homes built in the 1800s including the four-storey bell tower of the Italianate-style that operates as a bed and breakfast.
North Perth is home to Paddyfest, North America’s largest Irish Festival in March. In May, visit the Home and Lifestyle Show at the arena. Come back in June for The Teddy Bear Family Fun Day or in July for the Canada Day Celebrations and the Listowel Agricultural Fair. Whether you are spending the day alone or with the family, there is always something to do in North Perth!
