Our cast of 100 young people will amaze you with another anthology tribute show produced in only eight weeks with many of your favourites, from Shel Silverstein, Stephen King, Maurice Sendak, and themes of horror, fantasy, mystery, and more.

Bring your neighbourhood together

Building connections close to home can be simple. The Love My Neighbourhood program is designed to help neighbours come together, get to know one another, and create a stronger sense of community right where they live.

With a one-time $500 annual grant, residents can plan easy, low-cost activities like a neighbourhood gathering or street party. It is a flexible way to bring people together, spark new connections, and make your neighbourhood feel more welcoming.

Picnic season

While the cold weather still lingers, now is a great time to plan ahead for a family gathering, team outing or simply something to look forward to.

Our beautiful parks and accessible picnic sites are perfect for bringing people together that include nature trails, baseball diamonds, playgrounds, washrooms, rain shelters and convenient parking, making them ideal for groups of all sizes.

Enjoy lakefront views at LaSalle Park, where you can also find a splash park and wading pool (admission fees apply). For a more peaceful setting, Hidden Valley Park is surrounded by a tranquil forest and offers access to the Royal Botanical Gardens, along with a splash pad and leash-free dog park.
