Municipal
Profiles
The former Townships
of Stafford-Pembroke and the Township of Alice and Fraser amalgamated on
January 1, 2000. The newly
formed Township of Laurentian Valley surrounds the City of Pembroke
and is south of the Town of Petawawa. Land uses range from
rural residential and farming properties on private water and sewer
services to suburban and residential and highway commercial on
municipal water and sewer. There are several blocks of
industrial properties in the municipality and regionally significant
mineral aggregate resources. The Township has approximately 20
kilometres of Ottawa River frontage. Development is controlled through the official plan and zoning
by-laws. There are a number of excellent
recreation facilities in the
Township. Laurentian Valley also has an abundance of Crown
lands within its boundaries, which border on Algonquin Park and
offers easy access to excellent hunting and fishing.
