A series of events are planned throughout 2017 to mark Bruce County's 150th Anniversary - "Explorers of Bruce."
Activities include a New Year's Eve Party, Curling Funspiels, a Halloween event, Culture Days and a Military Reunion Dinner.
An interactive outreach exhibit will showcase the county's history at local events throughout the county all year long.
A project to collect stories from past and present residents of Bruce County is also being launched, and will be shared on a website created for the 150th Celebrations.
The county also plans to plant 150 trees of substance, and create a time capsule.
Warden Mitch Twolan stated: ”On behalf of County Council, I want to thank the cross functional team for all of their planning work. The program is exciting and we will have a terrific year celebrating our 150 th Birthday.”
The committee will now proceed to finalize plans and begin seeking community partners to work together to celebrate the County’s 150th!
