...IS STRONGER THAN CANCER
Since the 1950s, bright yellow daffodils have
arrived in communities across Canada to mark
the beginning of the Canadian Cancer Society
Daffodil Campaign.
The daffodil is resilient. It survives our harsh
winters and is the first flower to bloom in the
spring – a time of renewal and hope. The
daffodil is a symbol of strength, courage and
life. During our annual Daffodil Campaign,
Canadians rally around this symbol and take
action to help fund game-changing research
and support services.
With 1 in 2 Canadians expected to be diagnosed
with cancer in their lifetime, many of us have
been or will be directly affected by this disease.
*Canadian Cancer Society website
The Centre will be supporting this campaign but
taking orders of daffodil plants -$5.00/potted
plant.
Orders will be taken only by
the Centre’s volunteer on
duty . Deadline to purchase
plants is March 21st.
Delivery of the pots will be
the week of April 8th.
Thank you for your support
of the Canadian Cancer Society, Renfrew County!

March Walk in a Hike with Nature
Submitted by Pam Gaudette
Well winter certainly has been unpredictable. We had planned two snowshoe days in January and
two in February, with us having to cancel one in January and one in February. We did have nine
participants for the snowshoe walk at the Laurentian Valley Skate Rink in February. The morning
was beautiful and of course the afternoon brought a huge snowstorm to the area. All who
participated really thought the trail was beautiful.
So, we will book two snowshoe days for March, who knows the days might be a snowshoe day or a
hike day or maybe cancelled. If there are any concerns always call the Centre in the morning of the
scheduled day, listen to the radio or check your emails.
We are planning for Day One to be on Tuesday March 5th at 10 am at the Pembroke Marina.
We’ll meet at the beginning of the Kiwanis’s Walkway at the Pointer Boat. We’ll snowshoe along the
path and come back on the river providing the ice is in good shape.
Everyone knows how to get to the marina so I’ll skip the directions.
Day two is planned for Tuesday March 26th at 10 am at the Petawawa Terrace
Provincial Nature Reserve. The form er location of the Petaw aw a Fish Hatchery. The
Terrace is about a 146-metre high sand ridge that was formed when the glacial Lake Algonquin
drained down the Ottawa River to the Champlain Sea.
Need to know: The trails are designated easy to m oderate. There is the Upper Terrace
and a Lower Terrace, both are worth visiting.
Directions: Drive along County Rd 51 tow ards Petaw aw a, northeast of Pem broke.
Turn to the right onto Laurentian Drive in the Town of Petawawa and follow along, it will be on the
right side of the road.
If interested please come, if you need a ride please call the Centre for the possibility of car-pooling
or if you are unsure of the directions you might want to follow us using your own car.
Be prepared with snowshoes, poles if needed, and if wearing
boots have good treads with grips (just in case). Hope to see
you there!
The day could be cancelled in the event of snowstorm,
freezing rain, ice pellets abnormally high winds, or severe
below normal cold temperatures.
