Please join Gala Days for their Grand Marshall's Afternoon Tea.

Thursday, July 25th, 2024, at 4:00pm.

Celebrating their contributions to our community, and this event over the last 50 years.

July 15th - 19th, 2024
8:00am - 4:00pm

This summer camp engages children to explore the world of arts and crafts. We learn new skills including how to paint in creative ways and build unique crafts with one's hands. Each day we also learn a new science experiment. We will also be exploring the outdoors by enjoying the Lions Park and the Ailsa Craig Splash Pad.

This camp also allows for children to engage in some interactive games including team races, hide and seek, musical chairs and more. Each day is a themed day where we direct our crafts based off of the theme and children can come to camp dressed in their spirit wear.

This is a great experience for kids to make new friends,
challenge their creativity, and have the best week of their lives!

Arrangements for Decoration Day Services at Parkhill Cemetery and West Williams (Sylvan) Cemetery are undertaken by Chaplain Mark Isaac.  Mark is a familiar face in our community at the Ailsa Craig and Area Foodbank and Thrift Store.  He has been conducting services in the Community for many years and we are very grateful that he is willing to continue and perform services at the following locations:

• Parkhill Cemetery - Sunday July 14th, 2024 at 2:00pm
• West Williams (Sylvan Cemetery) - Sunday July 28th, 2024 at 2:00pm

These services are held outdoors and are therefore dependent on good weather in order for them to proceed.  If you have any questions about the services please contact Mark at 519-293-3637 or @email
