🌈 Happy Pride Month, Perth! 🌈

June 1 marks the start of Pride Month, and we’re proud to stand in celebration and solidarity with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in Perth and across Lanark County. Pride is about visibility, community, and love... and we’re here for it!

On Friday morning at 11 a.m., join us next to the Crystal Palace alongside our friends from Q***r Connection Lanark to raise the Pride flag.

There are fantastic events happening all month long (and beyond!) coordinated by Lanark County Wide Pride. Find out what’s happening at https://www.queerconnectionlanark.ca/.

Want to learn more about 2SLGBTQIA+ history in Lanark County? We’ve partnered with Q***r Connection Lanark to pull together some amazing resources. Find them at https://www.perth.ca/Pride.

June is Seniors Month in Ontario!

This year's theme, Let's Get Moving, celebrates the many ways older adults stay active, engaged, and connected in their communities.

It also marks the 60th anniversary of Ontario's Seniors Active Living Centres programs, which help seniors stay active, learn new skills, build friendships, and participate in recreational and social activities.

Here in Perth, we're fortunate to have a vibrant community of seniors who volunteer, lead, mentor, participate, and help make our town a better place for everyone.

Thank you for all that you do. Happy Seniors Month!

Arrangements have been made for tree removal, which is expected to take place tomorrow morning.
