Good Morning, Haldimand County!
Here's What's Happening in Haldimand County This Week
Hey Haldimand County!
If you’re looking for an excuse to get out of the house this week, we’re handing you a whole stack of them. We’ve got community dinners, fitness classes, cards, trivia, skating, live music, and a few quietly great events you might not hear about unless someone tells you.
Take a scroll, circle a couple of things that catch your eye, and give yourself something to look forward to. Midweek plans count too, and sometimes they’re even better when they’re unexpected.
