Greetings from the Mayor
Message from the Mayor:
On behalf of the Council of the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury, I am
pleased to introduce the Spring/Summer 2017 Leisure Guide.
Our robust selection of recreational programs and facilities continues to grow
to meet the needs of our diverse population. In addition to the impressive list
of activities described in this guide, we are building more trails, splash pads
and parks to help your busy family stay active indoors and out.
We are also growing our roster of community events and cultural activities.
My fellow Council members and I invite you to take part in spring and
summer activities including:
• Community Clean-up Day - April 8
• Trails Day and the Mayor's Hike for Health - June 10
• Canada Day Parade & Celebrations - July 1
• Music in the Park - July 6 & 20 and August 3 & 17
• Outdoor Movies - July 13 & 27 and August 10 & 24
• Carrot Fest - August 18-19
We are particularly excited to be celebrating Canada's 150th here in BWG. We have been
collaborating with other groups in the community to bring you a variety of activities to
commemorate this historic year.
Information on Town programs and events is always at your fingertips by visiting
www.townofbwg.com and by checking out the Town's accounts on Facebook and Twitter.
Information about the BWG Leisure Centre can be found at www.bwgleisurecentre.ca as well as
