Building Belonging Together: Welcoming Week in Petawawa

September 12th, 2025 to September 21st 2025

Welcoming Week is a national campaign that celebrates communities working to be more inclusive for all — especially immigrants. It’s a chance to recognize the people, places, and values that help everyone feel at home and build a true sense of belonging.

Here in Petawawa, new residents enrich our town every day. They bring fresh ideas, start businesses, share their cultures, and contribute to the vibrant, growing community we all value. 

This week, let’s all take part in the spirit of welcoming. A smile, a kind word, or an act of inclu

sion can make a world of difference. Together, we can build a stronger, more connected Petawawa.

On behalf of the Town of Petawawa, we extend a heartfelt welcome to all who are new to our town. We’re so glad you’re here — you’re part of what makes Petawawa such a special place to call home.
