Community Events Calendar

Vendor at Earth Day
Earth Day

The City invited residents to our 2nd annual Earth Day event on Saturday, April 26th from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Thorold Community Arena located at 70 Front Street North in downtown Thorold. This was a free event, but we encouraged attendees to bring food donations for Community Care.

We are also asked residents, businesses, schools, and community partners to come out and help clean up litter along sidewalks, parks, and trails in the city. Together we made a difference!
