Good Morning, Haldimand County!

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

Remembrance Day is a time to pause, reflect, and honour the courage and sacrifice of those who served. Whether you attend a ceremony, wear a poppy, or take a quiet moment, it matters. Our communities are better because of them, and taking time to remember is the least we can do.

Alongside this day of reflection, Haldimand County still has a full week of things to see and do. From markets and classes to live music and community events, there are plenty of reasons to get out of the house once the last wreath has been placed.

So pay your respects, then keep the spirit of community going. Show up, support local, and spend your week connecting with the people who make Haldimand feel like home.
