Participants must register in advance as there is only limited space available. Message them today by visiting their Facebook page, click HERE for more details about any Art with Heart programs!

You still have time to sign up your budding performers for the next season of Drama Kidz! Our daughter really enjoyed her first production, the Joy of Giving, which was written by Nikki and inspired by the actors so it's a very inclusive experience. Great for all ages and talent levels!

Special mention to our Port Dover Harbour Museum. In speaking to Angela about what may be happening at the Museum over the holidays she reminded me of the New Year's Day Levee, you can see that video HERE.

Hot off the Press: "But even more exciting, the Port Dover Harbour Museum is happy to announce that our Collections Storage Reorganization project is taking place in January of 2018.  We have ordered new storage furniture to better house their collections, so that Port Dover’s history will be preserved for generations.  Components of this project have been taking place over the last 3 years, as museum staff and volunteers have been continuously working with the archival and artifact collections.  Thus far, the most significant aspect has been the cataloguing of archival photographs, and moving those into museum quality storage albums. 
 
The next phase is the installation of more appropriate storage units for our collections. To facilitate this process the museum will be closed to the public from January 2nd to Monday, January 22nd. We would like to express our gratitude to Norfolk County, the Port Dover Community Foundation, the Vittoria & District Foundation and the Audrey S. Hellyer Foundation for their support of this project!  This project has also been made possible through a grant from the Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage, via the Museums Assistance Program.
 
Our sincerest thanks to all of our members and supporters who have donated to the project and to our volunteers who have donated countless hours to help make this project a reality.
 
We do apologize for any inconvenience this temporary closure may cause."

Over the Holidays the Tim Horton's FREE skates continue in most of our local arenas (Thanks Tim's!). Check out the times and dates in the Calendar posted!

Prefer warm and wet to icy cold fun? There are many swim times over the holidays at a super affordable rate (a family of up to 6 is only $9.25!). Be sure to check out the swim guidelines HERE to make sure you have the right number of supervisors for your kids (page 63 in the Guide) - when ours were really little I wasn't able to have all 3 at once as the only adult. 

Whitehorse Bowling is open daily from 11 am and has not only blacklight bowling (gutter guards available!) but also a glow in the dark mini putt and a super fun arcade! Snacks and drinks available and they do birthday parties too! You can visit their Facebook page HERE or call them for their holiday hours at (519) 426-6372.

Over the Holiday Break you can enrolling your kids in a variety of different courses including the Canadian Safety Babysitting Course, the SOS 4 Kids Home Alone Safety Course and the SOS 4 Kids My Safe Life. My daughters have taken the Home Alone and the Babysitting course and they are great! HERE is the link to register for them (page 34 in the Guide because it won't take you straight there).

The Simcoe Strand Theatre offers a variety of movies over the holidays including the amazing "Wonder", Stars Wars the Last Jedi, Jumangi: Welcome to the Jungle and the animated "Star" (these ones are Dec. 15-21). Check their schedule on their website HERE and remember: cash only.. there's an atm on site though.
