Deep River
Riverbank Project Update
 It’s happening. With
our success in obtaining a $58000 grant from the
Trillium Foundation we will now begin Phase II of the
Riverbank Project, terracing of the hillside at the
Centennial plaza. We still need some additional funding
but are confident that there will be additional
contributions once work gets underway on May 10. Perhaps
there are some ex Deep Riverites who have not yet
"gotten around to it". more...
If you would like further information about the project just email bishopw@magma.ca.

Petawawa
Heritage Society
The Petawawa Heritage Society received a grant for ten
thousand dollars for the Log Structures Relocation
Project (the Relocation) was to undertake the transfer
of two log structures, one 17’ x 17’ and the other
18’ x 30’, that are replica examples of 19th century
buildings. The Relocation would have these structures
moved from their current location on the range control
area of Canadian Forces Base Petawawa and transplanted
to the Petawawa Heritage Village site for use in public
and educational programming. The log structures will
represent the Leder Family homestead and will depict the
German cultural influence of the Town of Petawawa in the
mid-19thcentury. The building where moved November 2009
and restoration will begin in Spring of 2010.
