June is Recreation & Parks Month
June brings us the longest days of the year and marks the beginning of summer! Join us as we celebrate with 30 days of activities and events catering to all!
This month is a time to focus on the benefits recreation and parks have on our physical, social and mental health. There are many ways you can get involved and be active! From acrylic painting, nature-themed crafts and coding, to dancing, swimming and (so many!) sports, there's something enjoyable for everyone to partake in!
Join us for the grand opening of Thornhill Outdoor Pool!
Thornhill Outdoor Pool (26 Old Yonge St.) is making a splash with its seasonal opening celebration on Saturday, June 15. Join the festivities and dive into a day of fun! Don't miss out on the excitement!
