Our Christmas Market will be taking place on Saturday, November 25 from 10am to 2pm!

As we have in past years, we will have a variety of local artisans on site, featuring handmade jewellery, baked goods, jellies and jams, knitted toys, and many more festive items perfect for gift-giving.

New this year will be a silent auction for our Gingerbread Houses, created by local neighbourhood partners! If you are a local real estate agent interested in participating and creating a Gingerbread house, please contact Mary Anne at maryanne.alton@sympatico.ca

Art as Inspiration for the Mind

Beach United Church April 25, 2023 No Comments

Saturday, June 3rd, 1-3pm

The impetus for this dialogue is that these issues matter to us all.

Engaging in the arts changes the course of your life and your brain. Beginning from childhood, the arts foster mental development, sculpt brain maturation, and lessen the effects of poverty and social disadvantage. As we age, art provides a buffer against cognitive decline, allowing us to maintain an island of humanity in the face of a sea of mental, physical and brain loss.

Join us for this free event with music, dialogue & workshops hosted by Dr. Luis Fornazzari MD, FRCPC, Behavioural Neurology, University of Toronto.
