Please join us for our annual Norval Winter Open House on Sunday, Jan. 28 from 1 to 3 p.m. 

Come and enjoy lots of fun winter activities for the whole family to enjoy! Take part in activities such as: 

• Cross-country skiing: Bring your own or use ours. Instructors will teach beginners and lead a tour. More advanced skiers are welcome to follow one of our marked trails (trails aren’t track-set).

• Tobogganing: Zoom down our popular toboggan hill in the arboretum. Bring your own or use one of ours. Please bring your own helmet.

• Hiking: Winter is a beautiful time to go for a guided walk around the property. Snowshoes are available for use. 

• Bird feeder craft: Make a pine cone suet bird feeder in our classroom and hang it up outside. The Norval staff will also help you encourage our feathered friends to come eat from your hand!

Bundle up for a day of outdoor adventure with friends and family. Stephen House will be open and serving food and refreshments. Dogs on a leash are welcome (but won’t have access to the indoor spaces).

We are proud to announce that UCC’s annual Mother’s Day Drive is back!  

Last year your donations meant more than 170 women at Ernestine's Women's Shelter and Women's Habitat received much loved gift bags of toiletries from their children on Mother’s Day. On behalf of these families living at the shelters and being supported in the outreach programs, as well as the staff at the shelters, we want to say how grateful we are for your generous donations that brought joy to so many moms!  

In Canada, on any given night, over 6,000 women and children sleep in a shelter because it isn’t safe at home. The pandemic saw dramatic increases in women seeking support from shelters, and with the current steep rise in the cost of food, items like toiletries are often the first to be cut from the shopping list.
