On Wednesday February 12th, from 5:30-8pm, The combined school councils of Dr. M.S. Hawkins Senior Public School and Port Hope High School held an event
called Connect, an evening of health, wellness, and community. This event was open to the entire community, not just those associated with the school, and was free to attend.
The goal of the evening was to connect the community to the resources in town that benefit their health and wellness. To that end local non-profits, community groups, and services, came out, set up booths, and talked about what they do, the events and resources that they provide to the community, and how people can get involved. In addition, there were a variety of free activities for everyone to take part in, including fitness classes, informative talks on health, art activations with Critical Mass Art, drum circles with SONG, cooking demonstrations, and more.
This was an event for the entire family to attend, have fun, and enjoy an evening together while also increasing their connection to the town and the schools themselves. We are excited for this opportunity to showcase both the schools and the impressive facilities to the surrounding community.
The Rotary Club of Port Hope was proud to be part of the event and provided pizza for those in attendance.
