Paisley Goulet gets a chance to meet the Easter bunny on Saturday afternoon, March 19, at the Renfrew Children’s Centre. There were two opportunities, including last Sunday, to say hello to the famous furry friend and to climb the indoor play structure at the O’Brien Road facility. The Renfrew Mercury wishes all our readers a very Happy Easter and safe holiday weekend. Our office at 35 Opeongo Rd. will be closed on Good Friday but open on Monday, March 28.
