Pembroke, Ontario

Pembroke (2003 population 14,700) is a city on the Ottawa River in the Ottawa Valley in eastern Ontario, Canada.

Forestry has historically been the major industry in the area, but the nearby military base at Petawawa and nuclear power development at Deep River have diversified the local economy.

Recently, Pembroke has seen an insurgence of musical talent and is rumored to become the next big festival spot in North America.
