Iconic Fenelon Falls Senior Citizens’ Club looks to Evolve with the Times
The last 20 months have been very difficult on public venues intended for social and recreational purposes. The pandemic closures have been devastating for facilities which provide the much-needed occasions to meet, exercise and interact with others. The economic impact is hard felt by all involved. The Fenelon Falls Senior Citizens Club at 58 Murray Street, Fenelon Falls has lost significant revenue from the lack of venue bookings and events normally held in the building

Fajitas, Margaritas, & Trivia
Every couple of months the Chamber Board of Directors plan an event to bring Chamber Members together. Over the last year, these events have been difficult to plan, especially because they revolve around being social and engaging with others. Last night the Chamber hosted an event over zoom with cocktail creations, a guided dinner with James Mahoney, Chef at The Cow and Sow, and ended with Trivia by Russell from the Fenelon Falls Brewery. It was a great success!
