Now you can take a Blakeney 101 just by visting the new commemorative plaque in the park beside the Blakeney Bridge.
FYI, did you know that like Almonte and Arnprior, Blakeney was once home to a thriving woolen mill?
The commemorative plaque is a project of the Celebrating Ramsay Bicentennial Working Group, and was funded through a Legacy Grant the Municipality received from the Government of Canada.
It was installed in Blakeney Park, on Tuesday, July 29th.
In addtion to all the residents who toiled on achieving the plaque, a shoutout goes to the Almonte Fish & Game Association, who handled the installation. The Almonte Fish & Game Association has been maintaining Blakeney Park for over 35 years.
The historical plaque serves as a companion to the Village of Blakeney Walking Tour, which is another Bicentennial initiative.
