waiting lists. Some of the adult summer pro - grams include women’s outdoor soccer, beach volleyball and basketball. The list of spring special events includes Kick Off Night Market (May 17), Community Fest Movie (June 7) and Hometown Festival (June 12 to 15). Other exciting summer events include Ribfest (July 4-6), Light Up the Night Market (August 12), Mount Brydges Movie Night (August 16) and the Cultural Night Market (September 20). As you can see, there is a lot to do for all ages in Strathroy-Caradoc.
Mayor’s Message In March, I was privileged to attend one of my favourite events of the year, the closing dinner put on by the Municipality’s Junior Chefs pro - gram. The work these kids do is amazing and the food is excellent. Thank you to the hard work of our Community Services team, which organized this and our other winter programs. We now switch to our spring programs, which are well attended, and in fact, have waiting lists, putting us close to, if not over, capacity on many programs. Along with the mainstays such as Junior Carpentry, youth volleyball, badmin - ton, and archery, staff have added Introduction to Art, Lego Builders, soccer, and more. Our ongoing seniors’ programs also offer seniors exercise and pickleball. As we move into summer, the demand for youth programs has grown immensely and we have responded. The pool is well-used and an integral part of the community, and we hope to open it in early June. Having said that, our regular swimming lessons are already sold out, including the recreational and competitive swimming teams. Summer camps are also well attended. Last year, 1,850 participants attended four pro - gram streams: aquatic, specialty, sports, and themed. Again, most camps are sold out with
