• Lucan-Ilderton Baseball • Ilderton Soccer
• Ilderton Minor Hockey Association Supporting Community Events
Attending local events like the Farmers Market, the Optimist Easter Egg Hunt, Lions Club Wing Nights and the Legion’s Breakfasts strengthens our community spirit. Your presence encourages organizers and ensures these events thrive. Small Actions, Big Impact Getting involved doesn’t have to be time-consuming. Consider: • Volunteering with the municipality as a water tester to help monitor for lead in the drinking water. • Joining Oxbow Public School’s Home and School Association – just one hour a month helps with their hot lunch program. • Finding an organization that matches your passions: • Healthcare? VON • Kids? 4-H Club, our Library, BGC London • Animals? Salthaven Stay Connected Follow me on Facebook so that together we can build a thriving community. Every contribution – big or small – creates a stron- ger, more connected Ilderton. Let’s keep building – one act of involvement at a time! Until next time, stay engaged and stay connected. I hope to see you out on the Ilderton Rail Trail or at the Ilderton Farmers Market.
Hello Everyone, A strong community isn’t built overnight— it grows through the dedication and connection of its residents. In Ilderton and across Middlesex Centre, our sense of belonging deepens when we come together to support local initiatives, businesses and each other. The Power of Volunteering Volunteering is one of the most impactful ways to strengthen our community. Whether it’s coaching a youth sports team, helping at the Ilderton Fair run by the Ilderton Agricultural Society, leading a Girl Guide group, or assisting at our Ailsa Craig Food Bank—every act of service fosters connection. Volunteering builds friendships, develops skills and strengthens our ties to home. As a Girl Guide leader, I had the privilege of meeting families who became lifelong friends. I also contributed to the municipality’s Community Services Advisory Committee, helping to shape recreation programs and services in Middlesex Centre. If you’re passionate about community involvement like I am or supporting local youth and sports, consider joining one of these organizations: • Ilderton Curling • Ilderton Skating Club
