The Pakenham & District Civitan Club hosts an annual Dessert Tea and Gift Basket Auction. This year, because of COVID 19 restrictions, the Tea will not take place.
​
The Auction is proceeding full steam ahead - online!
​The best part is that many more people can participate in the event and it's spread out over a whole week.
 
A huge Thank You is in order to Pakenham businesses, Civitan Members and Friends for helping create our best auction offering ever!!  This auction is an incredible example of community support, especially during these trying times. Their donations are greatly appreciated. 
 
The Auction starts at 1:00 pm Sunday, November 15th and ends at 8:00 pm on Sunday, November 22nd. 
 
Throughout the past months, the Pakenham Civitan has continued with regular donations to the hospitals, community groups, food bank and support for individuals in need in the community.  This fundraiser is one more step to help in those efforts.

Project MM2020
Bringing Broadband Services to the Pakenham Area
(High-speed, high-capacity telephone, TV and Internet over optical fibre)
Brought to you by the MM2020 Pakenham Working Group
MM2020 is a community volunteer group, supported by the Municipality of Mississippi Mills, working to provide broadband access to all Mississippi Mills residents.  We have formed the MM2020 Pakenham Working Group to lead the project. Our purpose is to survey all households in Pakenham (the hamlet, Cedar Hill, and the surrounding rural catchment area) to inform all residents of the opportunity represented by the MM2020 Broadband plan, and to create a unified Pakenham buying group tasked to replace obsolete and expensive telephone, TV and internet delivery with reliable broadband service.  Current digital access needs as well as contemporary Voice-over-IP and Video-chat supporting emerging application services such as telehealth require infrastructure supporting unlimited bandwidth.
 
Community ownership of the rural broadband network is also under favorable consideration. It would allow a basic service offering to be made available, particularly to residents with school age children or those with medical needs that can be monitored or improved by basic high-speed broadband access, and those who may not be able to afford full service broadband. 
 
Our goal is to have solutions in place by the end of 2018.
