You can enjoy some activities and games from Lift Community Services through a fair next weekend.
Called the Lift Community Fair, it’s a free event where people of all ages can take part in activities from Lift’s programs and services, including homelessness prevention, bond, and literacy outreach.
After last year’s event saw hundreds of people attend, Lift Executive Director Kim Markel says they knew they wanted to bring it back this year.
“It was a fun day, and we heard from a lot of people who were pleasantly surprised to learn about the full range of programming we offer,” said Markel.
Markel says it’s been a tough year for them with cuts to their Immigration Services program and the loss of their housing shelter, adding they hope the fair can bring people together and spread joy.
The fair will include live music from the Beach Crashers band, hot dogs, a bouncy castle, and a barbecue lunch.
The event will take place at Willingdon Beach on June 14, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
