During these uncertain times, we are excited to announce the return of our annual #BHFunRun!

In response to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic and Public Health guidelines, the 2020 Blackburn Hamlet FunFair Committee has made the difficult decision to postpone our annual fair. It is our hope that a scaled down event could still be possible at a later date this year, so please continue to follow our account for updates! For more information, we can be reached at [email protected]... Thank you, and stay safe!

This Canada Day come join us at the Community Hall at 5pm and bring a dish to share with your neighbours as we celebrate our country together as a community! The event can be found in our Blackburn Hamlet Community Association group!

17 days until our big Canada Day celebration - bigger and better than ever! Including field games, live bands, and a beer tent! Looking forward to seeing you guys there!

Can you help? Volunteers needed for our Canada Day celebration in the Hamlet!
