#HeartForFenelon 2.0
It’s been a few months since we launched the #Heart For Fenelon campaign and the stories of kindness continue to pour in. Sometimes it’s just a small act and other times it’s a large show of support when our neighbours need to know that we have their back. Collectively every act counts and makes Fenelon Falls a place that we are proud to call our home or the place where we like to get away from it all.
100 Activities for Kids and Adults
Summer might look a little different this year than last, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t tons of fun activities to enjoy. The Fenelon Falls & District Chamber of Commerce has prepared this engaging list of 100 activities for kids and adults to enjoy. We’d love for you to share photos and stories of your experiences and try to cross off as many items as you can. Tag us on social media @explorefenelonfalls or email hello@explorefenelonfalls.com for a chance to be featured in the Town Crier and on our social media.

FanSaves Helps Gift Certificate Program
Submitted by FanSaves
With local businesses forced to close or reduce their hours amid the Covid-19 pandemic, the newly launched FanSaves Helps Gift Certificate Program is helping give business owners a boost across the country, Kawartha Lakes and Fenelon Falls. The program is working with the Fenelon Falls & District Chamber of Commerce and features gift certificates from local stores which can be used once things get back to normal.
“We noticed some areas were starting their own gift certificate programs so we decided to create a one-stop-shop and a hub for gift certificates from local businesses in partnership with Chambers, BIAs and organizations in regions across Canada. This is our way of giving back during this time” explained FanSaves Co-Founder & CEO, Shannon Ferguson.

The Dreams We Have: Films about daring to dream of a different future
Written by Sylvia Keesmaat
As the days get longer and our thoughts turn towards spring, St. James Anglican Church is once again offering a film series during the five weeks leading up to Easter. This year’s theme, “The Dreams We Have: Films about daring to dream of a different future,” explores the many ways that our own dreams, and the dreams of the people around us, can challenge us, reveal who we really are, and create outcomes that we had never dreamed of.
Upcoming Workshops at Barn and Bunkie
The Barn and Bunkie are hosting a variety of creative workshops in the coming weeks including: Valentines Cookie Classes, Wood Bead and Flower Wreath Workshop, and Lady Head Workshop featuring Dyed Wooden Flowers.

Free Meditation at curious? starting February 4th
Submitted by Anne Kulmala
With the hustle and bustle of daily life, we often find ourselves overwhelmed, anxious and stressed. Focusing on jobs, money, people, children and all manner of outside challenges, we leave our inner self to take a back seat to external pressures. All challenges feel bigger and heavier when our inner strength is low. Meditation can be a key component in strengthening our inner self. Time spent quietly connecting to our true selves allows us to refocus, clarify our purpose and re-energize our body, mind and spirit.
