Edinburgh Square hops into spring with new events and programming

Edinburgh Square Heritage & Cultural Centre is pleased to announce an exciting line-up of programming, events and exhibitions for April 2023.

Saturday Discovery Day Workshops for kids return April 1 with the ‘Easter Egg-stravaganza’ Workshop. Children can enjoy a day of fun crafts, tasty treats and an ‘eggcellent egg hunt.’ April 22 will feature an Earth Day Workshop where kids can create recyclable art and learn about ways to keep the Earth happy and healthy.

Saturday workshops run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and are geared toward children 6 to 10 years of age. The cost for each session is $28.25 per person. Pre-registration is required. Register online at link.haldimandcounty.ca or in person at the Haldimand County Administration Building, 53 Thorburn Street South, Cayuga.

Beginning April 11, the Haldimand Photography Club returns to Edinburgh Square for its annual exhibition featuring the work of talented local photographers and highlighting a blend of wildlife, landscapes and portraiture images.

The Centre is also pleased to host a Paddle Painting Workshop with Gina Wilson McIntee on the evening of Friday, Apr. 21. Gina, an established artist, will inspire and share why it’s important to love ourselves first and embrace the precious gifts we hold. Nature, wildlife and water are all a part of the scene participants will paint. Finished paddles will be a reminder that people are part of a larger community and bigger picture.
