The township anticipates the program XJMMHSPXUPQMBRVFTXJUIJOUIFOFYUàWF years, creating a network of the township’s history, including every village within the municipality. The goal of this program is to tell the story of the township, and to foster an interest and understanding of the community’s roots. The program is not only
an investment to preserve the township’s history, but will also be a tourism activity for visitors and residents alike. The project was able to begin with the assistance of and through a partnership with the Russell and District Historical Society, which is why the first four locations are within the Village of Russell. Society members dedicated many hours to researching the events and retrieving historical photos for the
plaques, in addition to financially contributing to these plaques. A new plaque in the program for the Vil- lage of Embrun is already in the planning stages, thanks to a partnership with a local French club. The township invites members of the pub- lic to provide suggestions for future sites for consideration through the Historical Plaque Program by contacting info@russell.ca.
