Hunt Club Community Fall Festival

This fall, like last year, the HCCO is partnering with the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre (SEOCHC), the Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association (RPCRA) and the City of Ottawa’s Hunt Club-Riverside Park Community Centre to host … our Community Fall Festival.

This event will be held on Saturday, September 10th (rain or shine) indoors and/or outdoors at the Hunt Club-Riverside Park Community Centre (3320 Paul Anka Drive at the corner of McCarthy Rd) from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.  This year’s festival theme is “Meet your neighbours, explore your community.”

All food items, refreshments and activities will be offered to participating families for FREE.   We are hoping, once again, to attract about 300 participants.  The intent of this festival is to provide food, fun activities, information and conversation for the citizens in our community.  Along with a number of information kiosks, some of the other activities will include:

For the children  …

• a bouncy castle

For adults and children,  …
