SCPL LitFest is an all-ages literary festival celebrating reading, writing, and illustration. It's about discovering literature at any age and unearthing new experiences. This year, we're excited to host a weeklong celebration of learning, literacy, and historical fiction! Join us from September 28th to October 3rd for a series of workshops and events to help you explore your literary creativity, discover new reads, and celebrate local literature.

Special occasions bring additional financial strain for families experiencing hardship. Help families gather around the table to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal. GBF will be supporting 250 local households with a Thanksgiving dinner, which includes the choice of Turkey, Ham, Vegetarian Option, the fixings, and dessert. A generous donation of $100 will sponsor a family’s Thanksgiving meal. Donations can be made in-store at 40 Elm Street, or online through www.gbfgrimsby.com.

Join staff from the Welland Public Library on a leisurely walk at Harold S. Bradshaw Memorial Park to enjoy the autumn season. Following the walk, both the Welland Public Library Bookmobile and Lincoln Pelham Public Library Bookmobile will be available to browse and borrow materials! 

Hand Crafted Holidays is open every week 11-4:30, Thursday-Sunday until Christmas! Shop from beautiful, handmade Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Easter decor while supporting Pets Alive Niagara!

We invite community members to join us on a community walk to honour the children who never returned home & the survivors of residential schools. 

Please consider bringing a food donation to the Niagara Regional Native Centre.
