Tweed is a municipality in Hastings County in central-eastern Ontario, Canada. It was incorporated on 1 January 1998 and combines the former Village of Tweed with the former Hungerford, Elzevir and Grimsthorpe townships. Winters are cold and snowy and summers are warm, so late spring and early autumn are the best seasons to race.
