Petawawa is celebrating 25-years as a Town in 2022.
Planning for the 25th anniversary celebration is well underway.
Director of Community Services for the Town of Petawawa, Kelly Williams, says the Township of Petawawa and Town of Petawawa amalgamated back on July 1st of 1997.
Williams says they plan to celebrate all that’s been accomplished over the last 25-years.
With a hope to be out of the pandemic by July of 2022, staff have started making plans.
Williams says they will likely add or subtract from the event, but are looking to put on a jam packed, fun filled 4-days, with something for everyone in the family.
A legacy project is also in the works for the 25th anniversary celebration that would see a 4-season Comfort Station set up along the Algonquin Trail in the Town of Petawawa.
Some of the proposed events for the 25th anniversary celebration include a drive-in movie at the Civic Centre back 40, a petting zoo, rock climbing wall, slip and slide, picnic in the park, a craft show, busker fest, antique car show, charity run, live music and fireworks.
The 25th anniversary celebration for the Town of Petawawa would start on Thursday, June 30th, 2022 and wrap up Sunday, July 3rd, 2022.
