Registration

Those wishing to attend workshops must register and pay in advance (unless otherwise noted). Registration will be available online through Activenet. A small number of workshops will be reserved for those who need to register in-person at the West Lincoln Community Centre, at 177 West St. Registration will not be accepted by phone or email.

Spaces are limited and workshops fill up very quickly. Interested participants are encouraged to set up their Activenet account in advance to speed up registration when it counts.

Artists’ Marketplace

Harvest Routes will also feature an Artists’ Marketplace on Saturday, October 5. Local artists, crafters and makers will display and sell their creations at the West Lincoln Community Centre, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Anyone interested in joining the roster of vendors can email Recreation staff to sign up.
