Good Morning, Haldimand County!
Here's What's Happening in Haldimand County This Weekend
January is doing that quiet reset thing, but Haldimand County clearly did not get the memo. There’s skating, live music, bingo, fundraisers, and more reasons to leave the house than your couch would prefer.
The holidays may be packed up, but the community energy is still very much switched on. This is the good stuff. Neighbours showing up, local businesses buzzing again, and events that remind you why supporting local really matters year-round.
So pour another coffee, loosen your January resolve just a bit, and see what’s happening near you. There’s plenty to do, plenty to support, and plenty of reasons to stay connected right here at home.
