Welcome to Clayburn Village

Clayburn Village is a small area that was constructed in the early 1900's. It was the first “company town” in BC as it was built for the employees of the Clayburn Company brick plant. Even after the brick plant shut down several original houses, the schoolhouse, a store, and the church still stand. Clayburn Village is a very popular filming location.
