The North Grenville Community Sweetheart Brunch returns on Sunday, February 15, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., at the North Grenville Municipal Centre, continuing a long-standing tradition of bringing the community together in support of local charities. Presented by the Knights of Columbus, Holy Cross Council, the Sweetheart Brunch has become a well-loved winter event for families across North Grenville and surrounding communities. This year’s brunch will take place on
February 5, 2026
Family Day weekend, offering a meaningful opportunity for families to gather, share a meal, and give back to causes that make a difference close to home and beyond. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for children aged 6 to 11, and free for children under 6. A take-out option will again be available for those who prefer to enjoy the brunch at home. Tickets can be purchased at Brewed Awakenings, B & H Grocer, or after weekend Masses at Holy Cross Church. Over the years, the Sweetheart Brunch
1
has raised more than $300,000 for local charities and community organizations. Funds raised through the event have supported causes such as the KDH Foundation, Beth Donovan Hospice, Leeds & Grenville Interval House, Kemptville Seniors’ Community Services, Community Living North Grenville, and the Ryan’s Well Foundation, among others. Now in its 26th year, the Sweetheart Brunch continues to reflect the generosity and compassion of the community it serves. Those attending can
expect a delicious selection of hot breakfast favourites and continental offerings, live musical entertainment, and the opportunity to participate in prize draws, all in a warm, welcoming atmosphere made possible by many dedicated volunteers. Community support plays a vital role in the success of the event. Local businesses and individuals are encouraged to consider sponsoring the Sweetheart Brunch to help offset costs and increase funds directed to charitable causes. Anyone interested in sponsorship opportunities is invited to contact Dan Hart (hart.daniel64@ gmail.com), who is coordinating sponsor outreach again this year. More than just a fundraiser, the Sweetheart Brunch is rooted in the simple but powerful act of caring for others. It is a place where neighbours reconnect, families create traditions, and volunteers come together in generosity and service. By gathering with open hearts and a shared commitment to one another, the Sweetheart Brunch continues a tradition that strengthens the community and makes a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
