Arts at the Marina returning on Canada Day weekend
LEAMINGTON — After a two-year hiatus due to COVID, the popular Arts at the Marina will return to the Leamington Lakeside Marina on Canada Day weekend. “The Leamington Arts Centre is pleased to announce the return of the 28th Arts at the Marina,” said Arts Centre Curator and Director Chad Riley. “This is a major community event for Leamington and a major fundraiser for the Leamington Arts Centre.”
The two-day event, held July 2-3, will feature dozens of artisans on display with live local music, children’s activities, food and refreshments galore. “Arts at the Marina is a family tradition and our volunteers and staff remain committed to the show’s strong reputation,” says Riley. Exhibitor spaces are now open for booking and sponsorship opportunities abound in various forms.
Province extends Wheatley residents assistance program WHEATLEY — The Provincial Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing announced that it is extending the housing assistance program for Wheatley residents affected by the evacuation order. April Rietdyk, Chatham Kent’s General Manager of Community Human Services, said the announcement is welcome news. “The uncertainty of accommodations has understandably been a cause of great anxiety for residents,” she said. “This program will provide some stability in terms of residents’ ability to having accommodation costs covered.” Rietdyk said those participating in the program are being contacted by the province, and urged residents to continue to work with the case workers who have been assisting with their claims.
The event normally attracts about 5,000 patrons to the marina park. “There are many sponsorship levels and opportunities to show your support for the arts and the wellness it brings to so many lives,” says Riley. “The arts and culture need your support.” Riley can be reached at 519-326-2711 or by emailing info@leamingtonartscentre.com. The show will run on Saturday, July 2 and Sunday, July 3 from 10 am until 5 pm. the@ 2019 Artson atthe theweekend, Marinaenjoying enjoyed a weekend sunshine.
