In 2016, this area of eastern Ontario will mark its 200th Anniversary - and preparations are already underway. From all indications this will be a major celebration! This section of our website will provide updates as we move closer to 2016 and the various organisations involved in the celebration develop and stage their events. See below for a listing of coming events and use the sidebar menu to see the details of the various organizing groups.
As of the fall of 2012, organising committees have been appointed for the Town of Perth, Tay Valley Township and Drummond/North Elmsley Township. Further east, the Beckwith Township Heritage Committee will also be participating in selected events.
