Canada Day activities in Armour Township were celebrated on July 8, 2017 with the Historical Society. The Historical Society hosted our Heritage Day at the Watt Century Farmhouse featuring a special museum exhibit from Archives of Ontario about Ontario's agricultural past. We brought farming history to life and families were engaged with horse-drawn wagon rides, a bouncy barn, farmer's market, a trackless train, a reptile adventure camp, a touch a truck display, a free BBQ and heritage games.

Traditional industries were profiled. Farm life depicted for the day included a maple syrup, a trapper, and a quilting club display. We acknowledged the history of the Homestead Act by distributing pine saplings to attendees. The event brought in a lot of visitors for the day.

Happy 150 Canada!
