Here's whats New in Downtown Renfrew

          Summer is bursting into Full Bloom in Historic Downtown Renfrew! 

We’re welcoming the season with colour, community, and celebration!

From bold blossoms to cascading petals, these floral displays reflect the heart and spirit of Renfrew. Take a stroll, snap some photos, and soak in this breath of fresh air in the Heart of our town.

An exciting event happening soon in Renfrew and Arnprior.  Lucas De Sousa, a  volunteer with two Community Living Organizations, is cycling across Canada to  raise awareness of the work Community Living organizations do.  His plan is to  visit as many organizations as  possible, and we are expected to receive a visit as  he travels through the towns of Renfrew  and Arnprior.  Lucas is currently in  Thunder Bay and will let us know as he gets closer to the  Ottawa Valley, probably  early to mid-July.  We would love to have as many people involved  in welcoming  Lucas and cheering him on as he travels through.  Please feel free to share  with  your network and reach out with any questions.  We will keep everyone posted on  the  date.  You can find his full story in the link below and follow him on Instagram  @coast2coast4CL.
