Cornwall Ontario – Summer in Cornwall means fun in the sun and plenty of deals for local shoppers.
Businesses lining Pitt Street and some of the surrounding locales will be offering savings and/or extended hours to help mark the Downtown Summer Celebration.

This is a great opportunity to enjoy all that downtown Cornwall has to offer.”
