    I am passionate about the Best Place on Earth

     What makes Arnprior the Best Place on Earth is that this is where we live with our friends and families. To ensure it continues to be the Best Place on Earth for years to come, we all need to afford to live here, have great jobs we love, and have a deep sense of belonging.

    How Arnprior became the Best Place on Earth

    For generations, friends, family and neighbours have invested time, energy, and attention into building the Best Place on Earth.  From the ground up, the people of Arnprior have shaped the streets, utilities, buildings and natural spaces. 

    Local entrepreneurs in 1956 attract investment to Arnprior, establishing an enduring industry

    Learning from Legends

    Generations of local leaders have shaped the community we proudly call home.  From business leaders and community builders to volunteers and elected officials, I have worked alongside local legends, including Tommy Sullivan and Glen Arthur, and have seen the passion it takes to achieve success.

    Shaping the Future

    Today, we have the opportunity to shape the future of the Best Place on Earth by talking openly about challenges  and opportunities so that we can build practical solutions together. The Town currently spends approximately $35 million a year of our hard earned money. Let's work together to ensure that every dollar is spent building the Best Place on Earth.
