The Renfrew community lost a well-respected citizen Wednesday. Janet Robertson lost her long battle with cancer. Well-known as a community organizer, Robertson, 50, was instrumental in orchestrating the Celebration of Life in Renfrew. The event at the Renfrew Armouries annually boosts the spirits of people in the middle of winter, and encourages them to come out and have a good time for good causes, which they did. Celebration of Life is also major

fundraiser for cancer research, Hospice Renfrew and Renfrew Victoria Hospital. It has become a day-long event, including a breakfast held at Rocky Mountain House and dinner at Finnigan’s. As a part of the Three Amigos, Robertson was also a driving force behind the Easter dinners, which also packed the armouries each year. She was also a long-time employee at Scotiabank. Visitation for Janet Robertson at McPhail & Perkins Funeral Home was held Sunday. Her funeral was Monday morning at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church.
