The township includes the communities of Bruce Station, Cloudslee, Plummer, Rock Lake and Rydal Bank.
The town of Bruce Mines is wholly surrounded by, but politically independent of, the township; it was separated in 1903. However, the 2010 mayoral election in Bruce Mines was won by Gordon Post, a candidate who pledged to investigate the feasibility of reamalgamating the two municipalities.[3]
Rydal Bank Church located at Rydal Bank within the township is a municipally designated heritage site.
