The Town Times portion of our Community Guide
offers a quick reference resource to season-specific
municipal administrative information. If you need
information about by-laws, services and programs
this resource highlights some that residents may want
to know. More information is available through our
website at www.petawawa.ca and at our municipal
office.
Our Community Services Department and the
Petawawa Public Library continue to be the foundation
for many of our recreational, social, and cultural
activities. The staff strive to provide memorable,
affordable recreational activities for every age, interest
and ability. If you have program or service ideas please
be sure to let us or the municipal staff know. Above all,
participate, be active and involved in the community.
Take part in planned events, walk the trail networks,
play a sport, sign your children up for programs, go
to the beach and try a paddle activity. The best of our
intentions is only good as long as we lead by example.
Council works hard to manage the essential services
of the community and your input is valued; below
is a summary of the 2019 budget and a highlight of
significant projects.
