MAYOR’S MESSAGE
As we welcome a new season of recreation programs in Tillsonburg, there’s plenty to look forward to across our community. I’m excited to share that aquatics programming is returning to the Tillsonburg Community Centre following maintenance work on the indoor pool. During the closure, many programs were temporarily relocated to the outdoor pool at Lake Lisgar Water Park, and we appreciate everyone’s flexibility and patience throughout the transition. We’re looking forward to welcoming swimmers and families back indoors this season. We’d also like to thank residents for their patience while the new pickleball courts were installed this past summer. The courts have quickly become a popular addition to our recreation offerings, and if you’re ready to get in the game, be sure to check out the upcoming Pickleball Tournament happening September 15. As we kick off the fall and winter season, Annandale National Historic Site is preparing an exciting lineup of family-friendly events and activities. From trick-or-treating and escape rooms to woodworking workshops and the annual tree lighting on the lawn, there will be something for everyone in the family to enjoy throughout the season. Remember, you can stay connected and up to date by using the Town of Tillsonburg app. Receive news, program updates, service alerts and more delivered right to your mobile device.
