December 19th, 2022: What’s Happening in Your Neighbourhood?

Have you ever wondered what’s happening in your neighbourhood?

Blog banner December 19 2022

Elf fan?  Watch the modern-day holiday classic live on stage at The Registry Theatre.  There are plenty of dates to watch Buddy the elf embark on his journey to New York City this week leading up to Christmas.

 

Speaking of classics – you can also follow Dorothy down the Yellow Brick Road, as she makes her way to Oz with the help of her newfound friends!  Wizard Of Oz The Panto is playing at St. Jacobs Country Playhouse this holiday season and dates have been extended by popular demand.  Make sure to check out this Toto-ly spectacular family favourite before the last show on January 8th, 2023.

 

Looking for something new to try and get involved in for the New Year? Start checking off some of your New Year’s resolutions by registering for activities, events and classes at your local community centre. Most registrations opened last week for programs starting in January, so make sure to get a spot before the holidays.  Also make sure to check out LEG Up! Classes & Courses – KW Habilitation Shop as there are still spots available for the winter 2023 session!
