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.
