Tom Sidney, co-chairs of Renfrew’s Canada 150 committee, revealed the plans at a press conference on Oct. 21. “2017 will be a very exciting year for Renfrew,” said Eady. Groups, clubs and individuals are encouraged to get involved in the celebrations. “We are looking for other people in our community, if they have an idea to bring it forth in an orderly manner so we can organize a schedule,” said Eady. “If another municipality has other events we are willing to be as co-operative as possible. We don’t want to conflict any community events.” Sidney says they hope to spark interest in those planning events already. “A lot of events are coming back downtown and we are working with the business improvement area,” said DEREK DUNN/METROLAND Sidney. “At the end of the day we are all Canadians and we want to help other groups advertise.” Although some events will be held downtown, Saturday, July 1 activities will still be at Ma-Te-Way.
