Good Morning, Haldimand County!

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

It’s one of those weeks where the calendar looks like it had a caffeine rush. Markets, live music, open houses, dinners and more are packed in from every corner of Haldimand County. If you were hoping for a quiet stretch, good luck.

December is warming up, too. Our 12 Days of Christmas starts Monday, and the prizes are fantastic. Local businesses have stepped up in a big way again, so be ready to jump in and cheer them on.

And while you’re out and about this week, keep supporting the shops and makers that keep our towns running. A quick stop for a gift, a meal or a ticket goes a long way.
