The Athol Recreation Centre

Do you have an event or a workshop that you would like to host with the support of the Athol Recreation Committee?

The Committee is looking for individuals who have ideas for events at our lovely Athol Town Hall in Cherry Valley.
You must be a resident of Prince Edward County to qualify.  

The event must enhance our community.
Want to host a workshop, a movie night, a fitness class, a dance, a dinner etc. 

Pitch us your idea by
contacting  Chair Glen Wallis at gwallis@rogers.com or call 613-846-0130.

About 65 friends, family and community members enjoyed a preview screening of Cherry Valley filmmaker Tess Girard’s documentary “As the Crow Flies”. The film follows a group of 17-year-old air cadets on an intense seven-week course to get their private pilot’s licence. Tess was a graduate of the same program and was able to provide an intimate behind-the-scenes portrayal of the cadets.

Tess approached the Athol Rec Committee to arrange the screening, which occurred cioincident with its premiere on the Documentary channel. Attendees were able to have a glass of wine or beer, with snacks including tasty samosas, while watching the film. Everyone enjoyed the show, and Tess was on hand afterwards to answer questions.

Community Conversations

  Tuesday November 28   4 to 6 PM

Athol Town Hall, Cherry Valley

 You are invited to share your thoughts and ideas about our community’s strengths and what you see for our community’s future.

In 2013 The County Foundation’s Vital Signs report created a snapshot of the community, a measure of how we’re doing as we reach for the goal “to create a safe, healthy, vibrant community where everyone is able to meet their potential”.

This community profile was updated with the 2015 Vital Signs Progress Report.

This year The County Foundation (TCF) and the County of Prince Edward Police Services Board, in partnership with Tamarack Institute, are convening a series of informal, facilitated Community Conversations to gather current perspectives on successes and challenges in Prince Edward County. These conversations, along with current statistical data, will inform the 2018 Vital Signs report as well as the Community Safety and Well-being Plan which is currently in development.

Everyone over the age of 12 is welcome. Light refreshments will be served. Those who wish may enter a draw for a $100 Sobey’s gift card. Please join us for an engaging conversation.
