Recreation and Special Events Activity Guide
Spring / Summer 2026
AsA Message From Mayor David Evans
we welcome the warmer weather back to our community, we are busy preparing an array of recreational programs, events, and activities in Tiny. On behalf of Council, I am happy to share the 2026 Spring/Summer Recreation and Special Events Activity Guide that highlights all of these initiatives.
Each season, we continue to build our catalogue of programming and events that cater to all ages and abilities. Earlier this year, the Township of Tiny was recognized as an Age-Friendly Community by the Ontario Government, confirming our commitment to improving recreational opportunities for everyone. In 2026, we are offering new fitness programs for parents and baby, CPR courses, a learn to draw program, a walking club for older adults, and more.
See a program or event you’re interested in? Register to save your spot! You can conveniently register online by using our Play Portal at www.tiny.ca/playportal, visit us in-person, or contact the Recreation and Special Events Department by email at recreation@tiny.ca or phone at 705-526-4204.
