Organizer
Municipality of Port Hope
The Municipality of Port Hope is a remarkably picturesque community located on the shore of Lake Ontario and the rolling hills of Northumberland, with a population of approximately 16,500. We partnered with the Rotary Club of Port Hope to celebrate Farley Mowat's birthday in May. As part of the celebration, we renamed a local park in Farley's honour. The dedication ceremony was postponed to the fall in light of covid-19.
