County sets public meeting on 2027 fees, including water and wastewater hookups
Council holds a statutory public meeting Tuesday, Nov 24 at 6 p.m. in Council Chambers, 7 Broadway St N, Paris.

Paris is getting its moment on the big screen. MARKD Productions is making Europe in Ontario, a feature length documentary about the European heritage of southwestern Ontario towns, and Paris is part of it. The crew has filmed at the Paris Fair and the Butter Tart Festival, and has connected with the Paris Museum and Historical Society, the Arlington Hotel and Wincey Mills.
“We quickly found charm with its hidden gems,” co-founder Kevin Huhn told The Paris Independent.
Five Paris stops named in the Europe in Ontario shoot: the Fair, the Butter Tart Festival, the Paris Museum and Historical Society (open at Syl Apps Community Centre), the Arlington Hotel, and Wincey Mills.
