Full Weekly Calendar
Community Calendar
Our Community Calendar covers Grey & Bruce Counties. It’s a large area, so if we missed an event we are sorry, we will do better next time!
Our Community Calendar was getting a bit too enthusiastic. Turns out stuffing a week’s worth of local fun into one email makes for a very long scroll.
So we’ve given it its own space! Click the button below to check out the full lineup of events this week.
Foodie Flash
Station 87 - Meaford
History meets hunger at this stunningly restored firehall on Nelson Street.
Station 87 isn't just a cool building; it’s a full culinary experience. They are serving up incredible wood-fired pizzas and comfort classics (try the Aces High Fried Perogies!) alongside their own "Good Company" craft brews.
The Vibe: Industrial-chic, lively, and perfect for a Friday night pint.
Hidden Gem of the week
MacGregor Point Ice Trail - Port Elgin
Sharpen your skates, the wait is over. The famous 400-metre ice skating loop at MacGregor Point Provincial Park is officially open for the season.
The Magic: Unlike a typical arena, this trail winds directly through a snowy forest. It is beautiful by day, but the real show starts at dusk when the trail lights turn on for night skating under the stars (open until 10:00 PM daily).
Know Before You Go:
Permits: You need a daily vehicle permit. These sell out fast on weekends, so book yours online up to 5 days in advance.
Hockey Fans: Sticks and pucks aren't allowed on the trail, but there is a separate large ice pad right next to it for shinny.
