A ceremony will be held at the Dunrobin Community Centre, before multiple events planned at the four corners of the village.

As the capital marks the first anniversary of the tornadoes, events are being held in Dunrobin to remember and support the victims, as well as thank the many volunteers.

A ceremony will be held at the Dunrobin Community Centre, beginning at 2 p.m., before multiple events planned at the four corners of the village, which aim to bring people together.

"It's been a long, hard year for so many people," said Jodie Bowen, owner of Dunrobin's Heart and Soul Cafe. "So many people still aren't in their homes."

The Heart and Soul Cafe will be the site of a barbecue, silent auction and a lost and found that aims to reconnect people with their lost items that were scattered by last year's tornado. Nearby, at the former site of the Dunrobin Plaza, a stage will host live music. There will also be children's entertainment.

Bowen says the events will raise funds for the West Carleton Disaster Relief Fund, but also aim to bring together and support the people who were affected by last year's tornado.

"So that the people that were affected can share their stories, and have a big group hug," said Bowen.

The barbecue, concert and other events at the four corners of Dunrobin run from 3:30 to 7 p.m., Saturday.

Attendees who were not affected by last year's tornadoes, nor the Ottawa River floods, are asked to make a five-dollar donation.
