The Township of Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards is one of those townships where I discover or see something new each and every time that I visit. In terms of census data, the Township of Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards has a population of 2,410 people (2021 Canadian Census) and occupies an area that is approximately 391 square kilometres. It includes the communities of Killaloe, Round Lake and Wilno. Needless to say, this sparsely populated township is an outdoor lover’s dream!

There is this transformation that happens to the Township of North Algona Wilberforce in the summer. I was once told that the normal population of the Township of North Algona Wilberforce is around 3,000 people. Whereas I was told that in the summer, the population can go up to 12,000 people. As a result, the township takes on a whole new life and soul in the summer. In the summer, the Township of North Algona Wilberforce definitely takes on a resort/cottage vibe, which I absolutely love! It is like everyone is on vacation and in a great mood!

Hello hello, friends! Welcome back to another blog post written by yours truly in collaboration with the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association. This blog post focuses on celebrating spring in the Town of Renfrew. Being able to prance around the Town of Renfrew recently really fed my soul. The sun was shining, it was warm out, and people were smiling – like I said, it really fed my soul. Dare I say, it also felt like a little piece of normal again, although, I do acknowledge that the pandemic is still ongoing.

Hello hello, friends! This may be an unpopular opinion, but I absolutely adore winter. I especially love winter in the Ottawa Valley. There are so many activities to do, it makes it hard not to love this season. In this blog post, we are focusing on the towns of Deep River, Laurentian Hills and the United Townships of Head, Clara and Maria. These townships are the furthest west and north sections of Renfrew County and are filled with such a bounty of nature. This blog post was created in collaboration with the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association. I hope you enjoy this blog post because I really enjoyed writing it.

Hello hello, welcome to another jam-packed blog post that has been created in collaboration with the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association. Recently, I polled my audience on Instagram to see if people celebrated Valentine’s Day and if they did, who did they celebrate with (spouse/kids/friends). Close to 60% of respondents stated that they do celebrate, with the vast majority celebrating with their spouse/partner.

Hello hello, I hope you’re ready for another jammed-packed community itinerary because this one is definitely one of my favourites. Where are we headed with this community itinerary? We are pointing the spotlight at the Township of Greater Madawaska. To say that I’m obsessed about the Township of Greater Madawaska would be putting it mildly. There is a large variety of things to do and see. It has all the charm of a ski town without all the pomp and circumstance. I would also be remiss if I did not mention that the Province of Ontario has a “staycation tax credit” during the 2022 tax year. More information on that can be found here. Well, without further delay, let’s get down to business!
