Special Event

Quilters, seamstresses and crafty people take note! You won’t want to miss the Textile Museum’s first fabric extravaganza. It’s spring, time to tidy up and look through all your cupboards and trunks, deciding what to keep and what to move along. That’s what the Museum’s volunteers have been doing, and they have uncovered a treasure trove of fabrics that are taking up too much valuable storage space. They have to go, and you can help.

Come celebrate Mother's Day at the Diefenbunker. Learn about the role of women in the Diefenbunker with our Women's History tour, and listen to accounts of women who were posted at CFS Carp.

Opening Ceremony & Raise the Roof cheque presentation: 11:30 a.m.  Community Barbeque: 12:00 p.m.

The sound of the Mill, the smell of finely ground flour and the sight of a brand new roof! It’s time for a new season at Watson’s Mill and the volunteers and staff want to share the excitement with the whole community! Join us on Saturday, May 4th as we celebrate with special guests, great music, activities, vendors in the square, and our new look!
