Always nice when one of your own gets an award.
Museum Curator and Director of Culture for Arnprior, Emily Stovell, did just that- copping the 2025 Culture Connector Award, given out by the Local Immigration Partnership of Lanark and Renfrew Counties, and presented by Warden Peter Emon at the Upper Tier Summer meeting, August 13th in Pembroke.
Through the magic of time-delay, the ceremony was reprised at Arnprior Town Council Monday. Emon says Stovell fell in love with Arnprior at first sight.
In the process of performing her duties since arriving, the Arnprior and District Museum has a new synergy.
The Warden says he’s had opportunity to observe Emily’s work first hand, and was delighted to be asked to share the accolade.
Emily Stovell’s career has also taken her to Chile, Belize, Argentina and the southwestern United States.
