We run many events throughout the year. Some are old standards that have become family traditions over generations - such as our Easter Egg Hunt and Fishing Derby - others are relatively new annual events - such as our Canada Day celebrations - and others are unique and new opportunities! Please visit our Past Events page to see what we do in our community!
