It’s time again for summer excitement!
Alexandra Neighbourhood House hosts Neighbourhood Fun Night on Wednesdays until Aug. 20, 5-7 p.m.
NFN promises food, fun, and activities for the whole family. We’ll have a barbeque or light dinner followed by games, crafts, or other activities built around a theme.
It’s a great way to meet neighbours and make friends in our historic, seaside setting.
No registration required – just come and have fun.
