Trivia
The Barry's Bay area of Renfrew County was first settled over a hundred years ago, along with other communities on the Opeongo Line. The town also served as a standby base for the Canadian Military during the war years. Local workers and lumbermen were formed into units to contribute to the Canadian war effort in World War II. In later years the community dedicated a park to honour a local resident named Janusz Zurakowski, who was the chief test pilot of the famed Canadian Avro CF-105 Arrow. (Source: Wikipedia)
