History
This 150 acre old farm is a part of pioneer community located in
the beautiful Ontario country of forests, hills, lakes and rivers
in Renfrew County. The region of Barry's Bay, Wilno and Round Lake
is known as "Madawaska Valley", but to people of Polish origin it is
"Kaszuby"- named after the part of northern Poland from which the first
settlers arrived here in the mid 19th century.
The beauty and vibrant traditions of Ontario's Kaszuby have attracted many post World War II Polish immigrants. Consequently, scores of summer cottages have been built, many permanent residences have been established and Polish youth camps organized - Kaszuby became the focus of Polish scouting in Canada.
