The town of Petawawa has brought back Civic Centre Days for the weekend. Activities are well underway and Colin Coyle in Recreation Department tells myFM that there is a neat new movie night feature.
Coyle also notes that they have a lot planned for Father’s Day on Sunday.
The entire weekend is also fairly cheap so larger families can attend.
