“We’re excited to host our Family Day activities in the new Meridian Community Centre for the first time,” said Culture and Community Enhancement Programmer Jodi Hendriks. “Offering programs and free family activities allows the community to come together in an active and participatory manner; the day will hopefully create lasting memories for those who join us.”
The Golden Boot game, now in its 3rd year, matches the Pelham Volunteer Firefighters against the Pelham Minor Hockey Association coaches. Last year Pelham Minor Hockey Coaches claimed bragging rights. Those wishing to attend to the game are asked to bring a non-perishable food time in support of Pelham Cares. Items such as flour, sugar, baby food (8+ to 12+), Cheez Whiz, crackers, and cookies are encouraged.
The Community Expo is designed for residents to learn more about the organizations and programs offered in Pelham, included, but not limited to: events, service clubs, sports organizations, theatre, parks and trails, arena programs, fitness classes and festivals.
The Town thanks its sponsors of this event: Peter Piper’s, My Pelham, and the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Committee
