pembroke, ontario

Pembroke (2003 population 14,700) is a city on the Ottawa River in the Ottawa Valley in eastern Ontario, Canada. Pembroke is also known as Hockey Town Canada. Forestry has historically been the major industry in the area, but the nearby military base at Petawawa and nuclear power development at Chalk River have diversified the local economy. A series of murals in the downtown area depict the history of the city. Recently, Pembroke has seen an insurgence of musical talent and is rumored to become the next big festival spot in North America. For example, two members of Sam Roberts' band are from Pembroke, as is the indie rock band Blinker the Star. The two bands held a benefit concert for the Pembroke General Hospital on May 29, 2004. Pembroke is also the birthplace of comedian Tom Green, although Green's family subsequently moved to Ottawa. Pembroke hosts one of the campuses of Ottawa-based Algonquin College.
