Getting hold of us.

There is no office and nobody sits by a phone. Here is what actually works, starting with the fastest.

I run a shop downtown and want to be listed

Do not write, fill in the form. Free, about ten minutes, and the page goes up once somebody has checked it.

Where do I park, what’s open, how far is it

All of that is answered on one page, including a map with the lots marked and how long it takes to walk the whole downtown.

Plan a visit Something on downtown

I’m running an event and want it on the calendar

Send us the date, the times and a couple of lines. If it happens on John, Elgin or Madawaska it can go up.

Send it below Anything else

The Town, the paper, or something we got wrong

A wrong address, dead hours, a parking answer that is out of date. Tell us and it gets fixed, usually that week.

Send it below

Say what you need to say.

This goes to whoever is doing the website job this year. One person, who also runs a shop, so give it a couple of days.

This is a preview of the new site, so the form is turned off. Nothing written here would reach anybody.

Before you write

What this is, and what it isn’t.

This site is run by the businesses on John, Elgin and Madawaska so the town can find them and so they can put their events in one place. That is the whole job.

It is not a Chamber of Commerce, not a business improvement area, and not part of the Town. Arnprior has none of those, which is the reason the shops built this themselves.

It is: A directory, a calendar and a noticeboard for downtown
It isn’t: A Chamber, a BIA, or anything at the Town
Run by: The owners, unpaid, between customers
Costs: Nothing to be listed in 2026
For the Town: Use the form and say who you are
