The province will be moving into Stage 3 of its COVID-19 reopening plan on Friday, July 16th, as the Walkerton BIA hosts a Reopening Walkerton downtown celebration from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. that day, closing the street to traffic from 9 a.m. onwards.
ALL Walkerton businesses are invited to participate!
The Municipality of Brockton will be supplying tents, picnic tables, music, water and Brockton swag, and also holding a draw for Walkerton Dollars (one $200 prize, and one $100 prize) for those who attend.
The event will include live music by the Red Shepherd Trio and free hands-on activities for kids and families, thanks to the Nuclear Innovation Institute's mobile NII-Explore unit.
