The Madawaska
Valley area is located in the southwest corner of Renfrew County and
treasures three communities.
The village of Barry's Bay was settled
in the last half of the 19th century by Polish and Irish settlers.
The neighbouring hamlet of Wilno was
the first Polish settlement in Canada (1859). Combermere,
the hamlet 20 km to the south, is the home of Madonna House, headquarters
of a world-wide Catholic lay charity organization. |

Location
of Zurakowski Park & Museum
Zurakowski Park has been constructed on the arrow-shaped property
across from the Barry's Bay Railway Station. The park consists of
a large scale replica of the Avro Arrow aircraft with a statue of
Janusz Zurakowski. A tourist pavilion with interactive displays
will be built in the near future.
