Fall Fest was the past weekend in Arnprior; as per tradition, there were pop-up vendors and a number of merchants or businesses offered specials or attractions.
A fan-favourite was the first anniversary BBQ put on by Desjardins Insurance on McGonigal Street.
myFM had the pleasure of chatting with Fall Fest Platinum Sponsor, Jennifer Charlebois-Robillard.
While her office is new to Arnprior, it’s part of a cooperative with a 120 year history, originating as la Caisse Populaire.
And to explain the change in name, the founder of Caisse Populaire was journalist and civil servant, Alphonse
Desjardins.
Mutual funds and banking options are most principally found in Quebec and Northern Ontario.
Jennifer says Desjardins Insurance can meet all your needs under the Insurance umbrella- and more.
She’s grateful for the warm response Desjardins has experienced in Arnprior.
When offered the chance for the platinum sponsorship of Fall Fest, Jennifer says it was an opportunity she couldn’t refuse.
Here’s to many more years in the Town Where the Rivers Meet. Happy Anniversary, Desjardins Insurance!
