The library offers literacy tutoring with the help of volunteer reading buddies. These reading help sessions are one-on-one opportunities for reluctant readers of all ages to develop and grow their literacy skills. Volunteer tutors work with readers to help build confidence with reading through reading practice and games at the age level of the reader.
To register a reader, fill out the reader application. Once completed, a staff person will call you with more details and to confirm timing.
If you're interested in being a volunteer reading buddy, fill out a volunteer application. For more information about signing up for reading help, please call the library at 519-284-3346.
If you love to write, this is the club for you!
To join, call the library for more information or email Laura. Everyone is welcome!
The Aquatics Centre has been closed to the public since November 2024, to accommodate renovations to the space that would address safety concerns caused by saltwater and high humidity. These renovations were deemed essential to ensure the facility could be used safely and effectively by the community. Due to unexpected recently discovered structural issues caused by saltwater and high humidity stemming from insufficiently sized HVAC equipment installed during the original construction, the renovation work is now expected to extend the closure until fall 2025.
The Town is hosting a drop-in Open House in the EndZone of the Pyramid Recreation Centre on Wednesday, June 18 from 5 to 7 PM. Residents will have the chance to observe the progress of the renovation to date and ask questions.
