The weekend is nearly upon us. Woot!
My plan is to do a couple chores, barbecue, spend some quality time with my family and make a diving catch in my slo-pitch league (yeah, I'll be sore after that one). But if you’re looking for something to do in South Simcoe, you’ll have options this weekend as well.
Here’s what’s happening in Bradford and Innisfil in the coming days:
Parent and child shinny
Kids nine years old and younger and their parents or guardians are invited to an informal game of hockey at the BWG Leisure Centre (471 West Park Ave.) Saturday, July 20 and Sunday, July 21. The Saturday session starts at 7:15 a.m.; Sunday shinny hits the ice at 10 a.m. You must wear skates or ride a sledge to be allowed on the ice surface. The program ratio is one parent to a maximum of five children. Slap shots are not permitted. For full drop-in rates and other details, visit calendar.townofbwg.com.
Library’s Sensory Room opening
The Innisfil ideaLAB and Library is hosting an open house for its new Sensory Room at the Lakeshore branch (967 Innisfil Beach Rd.) Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. This specially designed space will cater to individuals with sensory processing needs. It offers a variety of both calming and stimulating elements, and includes items such as tactile discs and balls, a carousel spinner seat, light cubes, infinity mirrors, and other textured and touch-sensitive items.

Give golf a shot
