Community Art Installation
On Sunday, June 8, the Over Here Community Arts Adventure https://www.overhere.ca/ hosted the second annual Arts by the Pond event at the Hillsburgh library. It was an interactive blend of art, music, dance, and flavours.
Attendees were invited to participate in a community art project. These original works of art will be reproduced on weatherproof material and installed on the wood cladding around the Kensington Square property.
You can participate in this community art project during the Canada Day Summerfest Celebration and Hillsburgh Fun Day on August 16.
The goal is to have the first round of banners installed in July.
If you want to offer your artistic talents or would like to sponsor a space, please contact jen@overhere.ca

June is Parks and Recreation Month
Each June, communities across Ontario celebrate June is Recreation and Parks Month (JRPM). JRPM is recognized by municipalities, community organizations, and schools as a way of promoting the benefits of being active and recognizing the contribution that recreation and parks make to quality of life.
To celebrate JRPM, the Town of Erin is excited to offer a variety of free activities throughout the month of June. Join us for Pickleball, Roller Skating, and Youth Ball Hockey, fun for all ages and a great way to stay active and engaged within your community. Bring your own equipment. Check out the JRPM calendar for activities, challenges and ways to get active and be engaged in your community.
