 Mayor Welcome to Pembroke!The Heart of the Ottawa Valley ...Thank you for visiting our website. What would make me even happier is to have you visit our City in person and experience first hand all that we have to offer. As a community that was established in 1828 we can follow our roots back to pre-confederation, in fact the recent Pembroke Superior court House (built in 1868) which has undergone a $15 million retrofit speaks to that fact, and it should be on your checklist of places to see when you are visiting Pembroke. The building has been restored to its original grandeur and architectural prominence. Pembroke has a strong historic past rooted in the lumber industry, and its future remains bright and optimistic as we focus on the fact that we are the largest centre between Ottawa and North Bay along the Trans Canada Highway. We relish the fact that we have state of the art health, eductional, and recreational facilities. The Pembroke Regional Hospital has just undergone a tremendous expansion, and the recent diagnostic services enhancements wil serve the people of this region for many years to come, as they can be assured of the best in health care. We strongly support our youth and the education system offers state of the art English and French elementary and high schools, as well as a Montessori school, presenting local students with many options with which to explore their future. Algonquin College has been a cornerstone in our community for over forty years, and continues to offer courses of excellence that include programs in outdoor adventure, nursing, social services, business and forestry. We participate in the National Communities in Bloom program and have been awarded five blooms for the past three years. Come and enjoy the Annual Old Time Fiddling and Step Dancing championships held each Labour Day Weekend. Visitors come from all over the world to experience the finest fiddling found in Canda. See our Murals - Canada's largets outdoor gallery, with 30 exceptional works of art depicting our rich history painted on our downtown buildings. Pembroke is renowned as Hockey Town Canada, and if you like hockey you will love the Silver Stick Hockey Tournament that takes place each year. It is the largest amateur hockey tournament in North America with over 160 teams participating. We have a lot to offer, and we invite you to come and live in a City that cherishes small town attributes. Our website tells it all!
