Join the Town of the Blue Mountains Fire Department for their Annual Open House celebrating the 103rd anniversary of Fire Prevention Week!
Get ready for a heartwarming and educational experience! On Fridays, October 3 & 10, we’re welcoming a very special guest—Sam, a certified St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog, along with his handler—for two soothing story time sessions.
During these gentle, interactive programs, little ones (ages 0–5) will have the chance to listen to calming stories, meet Sam up close, and even give him a friendly pet or cuddle. It’s a wonderful way to help young children build comfort and confidence around furry, four-legged friends in a safe, welcoming environment.

Need to scan something quickly? Ashley demonstrates how to scan documents using your Android phone or tablet. It’s a handy tool that puts a scanner in your pocket. You’ll also learn how to contribute to the Museum’s Digital Donation program, helping preserve local stories for future generations.

Join us after school for an hour of reflection, solidarity, and creativity as we prepare for Orange Shirt Day. Together, we’ll make orange scrunchies—a simple but powerful way to honour the story of Phyllis Webstad and the many Indigenous children impacted by residential schools.
Orange symbolizes truth, healing, and remembrance. As we craft, we’ll take time to reflect on the meaning behind Orange Shirt Day and what it means to listen, learn, and stand together. You can even write your own special message of support or reflection on your scrunchie—something meaningful to you.

On the 4th Saturday of every month (except July, August and December) 9am-noon area residents have the opportunity to bring their broken items to the Repair Café, where community volunteers use their skills to help repair them for free. We also share some social time, with coffee or a nice cup of tea and cookies. This adventure not only brings our community together to help our neighbours, it also lengthens the life of the items repaired/mended, diverts items going to our landfill and saves taxpayers money!
