Castlegar Community Connect 2023 is happening on Thursday, Nov. 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Castlegar and District Community Complex. This free event is family-friendly and open to everyone. It is where you can learn about the wide range of services available from local agencies and organizations.

Browse the displays, chat with staff from various organizations, pick up some free winter wear, get support with filling out subsidy forms, and access take-home resources. There will be a free nutritious lunch provided, live musical entertainment from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., a community art activity, children’s activities and some great door prizes to be won.

“The purpose of this event is to bring as many agencies and organizations together as possible, to share with our community the many supports and resources available to help folks live well and save money: and to have fun while doing it,” says Theresa Swan, event coordinator. “There are a lot of local supports in place for both families and individuals, and this is an event where those services come to you.”
