The Village of Richton Park is proud to announce the launch of a monumental, yearlong celebration honoring its 100th Anniversary - a century marked by growth, resilience, diverse cultural roots, and an unwavering commitment to community. Since its incorporation on June 8, 1926, Richton Park has transformed from a small settlement along historic Indigenous pathways into a vibrant, forward-thinking suburb recognized for its progress, inclusivity, and innovation.

The Centennial Celebration, beginning January 2026, will highlight Richton Park’s rich past, dynamic present, and illustrious future through special events, storytelling, public art, commemorative items, and community engagement initiatives.
