Horton’s planning committee has unanimously voted to keep Farrell’s Landing in township hands. The recommendation, made at the committee’s June 11 meeting, will go forward to the July 2 Horton council meeting. Approval is expected, since all council members also sit on the 10member planning committee. A decision on the future of the former road, which was never closed on the Ottawa River shore, came after several months and meetings of discussion. The township was asked in the summer of 2012 to sell or lease the right-of-way to the family of Debbie Grantham and husband Dino Di Pietro. Grantham is best known, to many local residents, as the niece of longtime Town of Renfrew historian Marjorie Lindsay. “Clearly, I’m disappointed,” said Grantham, who attended the meeting along with her mother, Glenyce Renaud, and another family member who requested anonymity.

RVH’s Teddy Bear Picnic Siblings Liam Craig, 3, and Makenna Craig, 5, and their teddy bears enjoy a sweet treat at the Renfrew Victoria Hospital’s annual teddy bear picnic Saturday. The event, designed to make children more comfortable in a medical setting and provide a fun, family venue, was greeted with warm, sunny weather and plenty of ‘patients’ for volunteer medical professionals to see.
Renfrew hospital expansion wheels in motion Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com
Bigger and better are the operative words for Renfrew Victoria Hospital officials as they anticipate a multimillion dollar expansion.
The expansion’s site plan is nearly complete, but the sooner it’s approved the better, since RVH is seeking to fast-track provincial government approval so construction can start on its new two-storey dialysis centre by late summer or early fall.
Expansion features demolition of former residential properties, where the centre will be located, and the creation of gated parking access around the dialysis centre and other nearby medical facilities.
