About Petawawa
The town
Petawawa had 18,160 people in 2021 on 165 km², the largest municipality in Renfrew County. It lies where the Petawawa River meets the Ottawa River, on unceded territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation, and its name is usually translated from Algonquin as "where one hears the noise of the water". Garrison Petawawa, on land the military acquired in 1905, is home to 2 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group, the Canadian Special Operations Regiment and two aviation squadrons. The Town sets zoning under its Official Plan and Zoning By-law 456/07 and issues building permits, septic systems included; questions about severing a lot go to the County of Renfrew. Town water comes from the Ottawa River; homes off the system use private wells and septics. Pembroke Regional Hospital has a 24-hour emergency department.
Around it
The Town runs two boat launches: one at Petawawa Point, a sandy beach on the Ottawa River, and one on Black Bay off Rantz Road for the upper Petawawa River. Petawawa Terrace Provincial Park protects a 30 m sand terrace, springs and provincially rare plants. The Algonquin Trail, part of a 296 km former Canadian Pacific line from Smiths Falls to Mattawa, crosses town on twin paths that separate off-road vehicles from other users. The Petawawa Research Forest, set up in 1918 and now run by the Canadian Wood Fibre Centre, is open to walkers, cyclists and skiers. Highway 17 runs between the garrison and the research forest toward Chalk River. Scheduled flights leave from Ottawa International Airport.
