Yesterday, we proudly launched our new Daily Essentials Program, in partnership with the Calvary Grace Food Bank.

We all know grocery prices have climbed, leaving less on the table for families across our community. But what often gets missed is that the cost of everyday essentials soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes has climbed right alongside groceries, and those items aren't optional.

Patrons visiting the Calvary Grace Food Bank can now receive a month's supply of these essentials as a top-up to their food visit, completely free. Because taking care of a household means more than just food on the table.

A huge thank you to our partners at Calvary Church for helping make this possible!

🎅 THE BEACHES SANTA CLAUS PARADE IS COMING BACK! 🎄

Mark your calendars: Sunday, November 15, 2026 at 1:00 PM, Community Centre 55 is proud to bring back one of the Beaches' most beloved and long-standing holiday traditions - the Santa Claus Parade!

This is more than just a parade, it's a community celebration that brings thousands of families together year after year, and it only happens because of the generous businesses and organizations who step up to support it.

That's where you come in. Sponsoring the parade isn't just about giving back, it's a chance to put your brand in front of thousands of local families in a warm, high-visibility, feel-good setting that traditional advertising simply can't match.

Whether it's exclusive naming rights on the main Santa float, your banner featured alongside the parade's live musical entertainment, or having your marketing materials distributed directly to the crowd by our volunteers, we have a sponsorship package to fit your goals.

Reach out today to learn more about how your organization can be part of this Beaches tradition!
