The Township of Rideau Lakes is pleased to announce the official name and grand opening event for the new community hall and library building in the village of Portland.

A township-wide naming contest was conducted by The Portland and Area Community Enhancement Committee in April, and 72 entries were submitted. The committee decided that the most popular name should be presented to Council.

Township Council unanimously voted in favour of the name on May 5, 2025, calling the new community space, the Portland Community Hall and Library. The new name clearly reflects the location, and the welcoming space designed to serve residents of all ages for generations to come.

A grand opening celebration will take place on Saturday, May 17th from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the new building, 24 Water Street in Portland. All members of the community, media representatives, and special guests are warmly invited to attend this momentous event.

Attendees can expect speeches from local dignitaries, a ribbon-cutting, live musical entertainment by Eddie and The Stingrays, children’s craft activities and refreshments. During the opening, visitors will have the chance to explore the modern facility, including multi-purpose event spaces, upgraded library services, and vibrant community gathering areas.

Come and be part of this exciting new chapter for the village of Portland!
