Mississippi Mills is now the proud home of the only municipal geoheritage park in Canada after the Metcalfe Geoheritage Park was officially unveiled recently.
Local dignitaries, members of the Metcalfe Geoheritage Park Committee, experts in geology, and the public gathered on a sunny day by the water to christen what community member Neil Carleton calls, "a community showcase."

The local CRCA region, and much of eastern Ontario, has received close to average amounts of rainfall over the last two months, after a much less than average spring and summer.
In August, the area received about the normal amount of rainfall, though in only three rain events, leaving the rest of the month very dry. In September so far, we have received less than the normal amount of rainfall, but on a much more regular basis.
The rainfall received has definitely helped the drought conditions considerably. The vegetation is back to green, lake levels have been holding reasonably steady, and some streams have responded to the rain, and have been rising.
