Centennial Celebration

We are excited to launch the start of our centennial celebrations. We have all the items you need to celebrate in style! Stay tuned for how to purchase. This month we will also be rolling out special social media frames to adorn your profile picture.

February is a month to celebrate family and we are planning events throughout the month as part of our Centennial Celebrations.  Bundle up and join us for an outdoor family day with a snow sculpture competition, a trail walk/snowshoe and fireworks! Don’t forget to take advantage of free family fishing weekend February 13th-15th. Remember to watch our website and Facebook page for additional information.

What does East Ferris mean to you? Let your inner artist shine in our Heritage Art Contest! Additional information will be available at eastferris.ca and on our Facebook page.

Do you know a volunteer in our community? Take a moment to thank them for their service. Volunteers are the core of our community and we are beyond thankful for their selfless dedication to East Ferris.  This month we will be honouring the recipients of our Annual Sport Recognition Award and Sports Hall of Fame Award.  Other events will be planned with the focus on volunteerism and recognition.

Join us for our 2nd annual community clean-up day so we can keep East Ferris clean and green! Take photos of your efforts throughout the day for your chance to win a prize! We are planning a bat house building workshop amongst other exiting activities. Did you know that a single bat can capture 500–1,000 mosquitoes in an hour? Let’s keep those bats around!  

June is a busy month! Get your gear ready for the youth fishing derby and shine up that hot rod for our Discover East Ferris Car Rally! This month we will also be offering the first of two Heritage Painting Workshops.

Join us for games and cake as we celebrate Canada’s birthday and, as always, let us end the day with a bang!  This month we will also be offering our second Heritage Painting Workshop.
