Hello everyone,
We will be open Friday from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and Saturday from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Join us on Saturday for a fun Sea Life Centre adventure! We'll spend time getting to know the fish in our tank, discovering interesting facts about their habitats and behaviours, and then unleash our creativity by designing and crafting our own colourful paper fish to take home.

See you outside!

Mosquitoes

A reminder to the community that with the rain and upcoming warm weather there will likely be a big increase in the numbers of mosquitoes. Make sure you check the standing water on your property such as wheelbarrows, tires, buckets etc. and take appropriate action to prevent the hatch of more mosquitoes. Stay safe!
