Perth Military Settlement
Throughout 2016, the four eastern Ontario Municipalities
of Beckwith, Drummond/North Elmsley, Perth and Tay Valley will be celebrating
the 200th Anniversary of Canada’s Perth Military Settlement. They want to
welcome visitors interested in participating in this historic year. Your
assistance in advising those in your area about our celebration activities
would be greatly appreciated.
