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
FIG Studio Kitchen - Ripley
Hidden in the heart of Ripley, FIG Studio Kitchen is the definition of a culinary hidden gem.
The name stands for "Food Is Great," and they aren't kidding. This intimate spot serves up artistic, high-end dishes. Think duck confit and massive crab cakes, without the stuffy attitude.
It’s a studio-style open kitchen where local ingredients shine and the menu changes with the seasons. If you’re looking to impress a date or treat yourself to something special in Huron-Kinloss, this is the table to book.
Hidden Gem of the week
Stoney Island Conservation Area - Kincardine
Swap the treadmill for the trails this week.
Just north of Kincardine, this volunteer-run spot is a true winter sanctuary. With over 6km of meticulously groomed ski trails and dedicated snowshoe loops winding through cedar forests and over rustic bridges, it’s the perfect quiet escape.
It’s far less busy than the provincial parks, meaning you might just get the snow-covered woods, and that magic winter silence, all to yourself.
