Thank you to everyone who participated in our community surveys and focus groups to help tell Glenview's story!

 

Your insights about Glenview's welcoming character and generational loyalty are shaping our brand development. Click here to learn more about what we've learned and where we are in the process!

 

Now we need your help building on our 107-year-old bear symbol! Since 1917, the Jackman Park Bear has watched over Glenview with the motto "Hug the Bear" - meaning to embrace and care for our community. Local businesses have already started calling him "Jack the Bear."

 

Take our Bear Survey and help us expand on his established history. Share your ideas about his personality and how he could best represent our community today.
