Welcome to the last newsletter of 2021! As this year that felt just like 2020 winds down to an end, we’ve got a few events and a ton of ways to give back to the community. Thank you for subscribing, reading, and supporting the local businesses that make this place fun to live.

See you in 2022!

What to do.

Tuesday, December 21

The Apollo’s Retro Recall has the Nightmare Before Christmas on at 7 pm.

Descendants has Elf Trivia with BeccaHosts at 8 pm.

Tri City Flow presents: A Holiday Fire Show. The event features 17 performers and lots of fire and festive warmth for you and your family. The show happens in Victoria Park (on the island, next to the gazebo). It’s an outdoors show and free to attend. Shows start at 7:30 pm and will run once every 15 minutes until 8:30 pm.

Sunday, December 26

Even if you have gadgets and gizmos a-plenty, that doesn’t mean you can’t want more — especially if that more is a sing-a-long showing of The Little Mermaid at The Apollo at 2 pm.

@alexkinsella Bereaved Families of Ontario Midwestern Region @BFOMR Because we are all grieving right now. Their #griefliteracy campaign has been stellar. #grief is hard and it is always harder in holiday seasons.

@alexkinsella .@FCCCambridgeND provides accessible, client centred counselling in a safe environment and is the only place in #Cbridge doing #mentalhealth supports. Also, their comms person is really cool and has some fun stuff planned for the new year (it’s me 😉)

@alexkinsella With 1 in 3 Waterloo Region families struggling with their mental health, may I include @Carizon and its work to ensure everyone has access to the supports and services that can transform lives.

What to read or listen to.

Kitchener Public Library’s Chapter One podcast has a three episode series where Haudenosaunee knowledge holder Kelly ‘Frantastic’ Davis and Dr. Stephen Svenson of Wilfrid Laurier University explore territorial and land acknowledgments and most importantly, the actions that Canadians can take as we work together with First Peoples towards reconciliation. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts.
