Sesquicentennial Celebrations
Zurich’s
Sesquicentennial is a special time in our village’s history. It is a
time of both reflection and renewal. As we prepare to celebrate the
150th anniversary of our founding, we invite all residents, past and
present, neighbours, acquaintances and local communities to take
part in the celebration.
Throughout 2006 there will be special events commemorating our 150th
anniversary.
We believe that there is truly something for everyone in this
special celebratory year. We encourage you to be a part of this
ongoing celebration of the Village of Zurich’s history and future of
our village.
Watch our site for news and activities and how
you can become apart of all the celebrations…
