Good Morning, Haldimand County!

Here's What's Happening in Haldimand County This Week

February is trying to convince us it’s spring. We’re not fully buying it yet, but we’ll take the slightly longer days and the hint of optimism. In the meantime, Haldimand County continues to ignore the weather entirely and pack the calendar anyway.

This week has pancakes, skating, trivia, euchre, live music, seed swaps, tax talks, knitting circles, karaoke bravery, and more community dinners than your fridge could ever compete with. In other words, staying home is officially harder than going out.

Scroll through, pick your favourites, and make a plan. Winter may still be lingering, but boredom definitely doesn’t have to.
