How tHe Centre evolved

The Event Centre was created as a long term

“legacy” project by the St. Lawrence War of

1812 Bicentennial Alliance primarily to assist

volunteer event organizers stage successful

outdoor events. The Alliance received an

Ontario Trillium Foundation grant in 2011

to open the Centre in Eastern Ontario in

partnership with the United Counties of Leeds

& Grenville who will manage the facility in

the years to come. Events all have the same

needs but at different times of the year and

by sharing our event equipment, we all benefit!

The Centre is a one-stop depot for any event: schools, churches, fairs, music festivals, rodeos, heritage events, Canada Day, sporting events, etc. We service all types of community celebrations – large and small.
