Every year bird enthusiasts around the world take part in the three-day event counting birds to help create a real-time snap shot of how many birds are where.

Come hang out in the children's area for at least 15 minutes between February 13-15, watch for birds on our patio and record your sightings on our tally sheet. At the end of the event, we will submit the numbers as part of the Great Back Yard Bird Count!

Do you love making Granny Squares, but don’t know what to do with them? Or maybe you'd like to learn how to make fun new designs? Well, you're in luck!

Participate in our Community Quilt Project, running from January 15 to March 15th. Simply bring in your 5" x 5" granny squares to add to our community-made quilt to any branch. When completed, the finished Granny Square Quilt will be donated to the Dialysis Unit at Welland Hospital, as a heartfelt gift from our community—stitching together comfort, colour, and care.

Julia's Hope Cup is a celebration of the life of Julia Turner and her humanitarian spirit, while raising funds in support of The Hope Centre. This family event is open to anyone in the Welland community and is FREE to attend. Funds raised will go towards The Hope Centre's food security programs, including their food bank and community lunch program. In 2025, The Hope Centre had over 27,000 visits to their food bank and served over 38,000 take-out lunches to help the most vulnerable in our community.

More people than ever are facing food insecurity in our community with more than 1 in 10 Wellanders accessing the food bank.
This year, Julia's Hope Cup is aiming to raise over $65,000 to support The Hope Centre's food security programs.

We'll be collecting the following items in support of Newark Neighbours Pet Food Bank : dry & canned pet food (cat & dog), pet toys, litter, pet treats, doggie pads and new (gently used) pet beds would be greatly appreciated!!

NOTE: we cannot accept items that have been opened

Join us for hot chocolate and treats
