  Wilno, Ontario - The Wilno Villager: Official tourist guide to Canada's first Polish settlement
This means "Greetings from Wilno" in Polish and in the Kashubian language still spoken by the descendants ofthe Kashub pioneers who settled these beautiful but rocky hills in the 1800's.
Their legacy lives on in the names on rural mailboxes, in the Kaplichi or roadside shrines on backroads, in the rousing celebrations of Polish-Kashub Day at Heritage Park on the first Saturday in May and in the colourful folk paintings adorning the log buildings in the Park and in nearby Kashuby.
There is a waterfall rushing down the valley to the remains of a small sawmill, a tumbling down pioneer farm with the Ottawa Valley's distinctive flened cedar logs, a wetland full of cattails and red-winged flbirds, secluded woodland glens along the rail-bed and picturesque little nooks and crannies all over the village.
