Travel along the Opeongo Line where pioneers worked tirelessly to build a caring community and where lumber barons made their fortunes floating logs down the Ottawa River.</p>\n<p>The people who live in the great riding of Renfrew\u2014Nipissing\u2014Pembroke come from all cultural backgrounds. We come together and live in harmony, a lesson that could be learned by the people of this House.</p>\n<p>Our Canadian maple leaf is a symbol that has earned worldwide respect and admiration. The changing colours provide a portrait of panoramic pride in this celebrated country called Canada.</p>\n<p>Come to the valley and enjoy the vista.</p>",
