MAYORS MESSAGE: With winter winding down and spring and summer on the horizon, plenty of opportunities for recreation are available for Grimsby residents in the warmer weather.

Try exploring outdoors by walking the many paths, trails, and parks Grimsby has to offer. The new Westend Waterfront Side Trail is open and winds through Casablanca Beach Park in Grimsby’s west end. Southward Park’s 2.5km fitness trail is another great option that showcases the Southward Park sports fields and woodlot.

There will also be some great events coming this season. Happening at the Forty will be celebrating forty years in July and will feature Friday night fireworks and live music at Southward Park. The annual Mutt Show, Canada Day, and the weekly Farmer’s Market are other event options not to miss this summer.

The Leisure Guide is a great resource to discover the many programs, camps, events, and community activities available to Grimsby residents of all ages. Make it your goal this summer to try a new program, visit a new park, or discover a community group in Grimsby.

Hope to see you around town,
