The Atwood Lions Club has long looked after the outdoor rink, and in 2014, the club officially poured the concrete pad for the rink as we know it today. In 2020, the club added the roof, partially enclosing the rink to protect it from the elements, extending the skating season.

🌻 Something Special Is Happening in the Sunflowers! 🌻

At Kadylack Farm, our sunflower field is about so much more than beautiful photos. It’s a place to slow down, connect with the people you love, breathe deeply, and remember that mental health matters at every age. 💛

This year, we’re proud to host a week of special events supporting wellness, community, and local organizations that make a difference:

🐾 July 30 – Doggy Day
Bring your four-legged best friend for a walk through the sunflowers! Dogs have an incredible way of lifting our spirits.

💛 July 31 – Friendship Day in the Field
Celebrate the people who brighten your life. Tag a friend and make new memories together.

🩵 August 1 – CMHAHP Day in the Sunflowers
Supporting the Canadian Mental Health Association and reminding everyone that it’s okay to ask for help.

💚 August 2 – Family Day with Huron-Perth Centre
A day to laugh, play, connect, and celebrate all families..

💜 August 3 – Tanner Steffler Foundation Day
Honouring Tanner’s legacy by supporting youth/youth adult mental health and encouraging hope for the next generation.

🧠 August 4 – Concussion Awareness Day
Raising awareness about brain health, recovery, and the importance of supporting those on their healing journey.

🌿 August 5 – Wellspring Day
Join Lisa at 11:00 a.m. for a peaceful walking meditation among the sunflowers. Pause. Breathe. Be present.

Whether you’re 6 or 96, everyone deserves moments of peace, connection, and joy. We hope our sunflower field becomes a place where smiles are shared, conversations begin, memories are made, and hearts feel just a little lighter.

Come walk with us. 🌻
Walk. Connect. Be Inspired.

💛 Thank you for supporting local organizations that care for the mental health and well-being of our community—one sunflower at a time.

You can’t buy community spirit—but you can certainly feel it. ❤️🇨🇦
Our July 1st Kids’ Games volunteers are a perfect reminder of what community is all about.
The Atwood Lions Club was incredibly fortunate to have an amazing group of volunteers helping at this year’s Kids’ Games. Thank you to the 769 Royal Canadian Air Cadets, along with all of our incredible youth volunteers, whose energy, patience, and willingness to jump in — even in exceptionally hot conditions — helped the day run smoothly and brought smiles to hundreds of children’s faces.
Thank you for giving your time and making our community a better place.
A huge thank you to Kadylack Farm Sunflower Walk🌻, whose continued generosity as the Kids’ Games sponsor helps make this event possible year after year. We also extend our sincere thanks to BK's Brand Name for once again stepping up for our community with fantastic prize donations that made the day even more memorable for everyone.
Who says volunteering isn’t fun? 🦁🇨🇦

The 69th Annual Atwood Lions Canada Day celebrations are officially in the books! 🍁
There are so many thanks to share we've decided to simply go in order of the days events beginning with the parade.

We want to extend a massive, heartfelt thank you to absolutely everyone who helped make this year's parade a roaring success.

Putting this together was no small feat, and we are incredibly grateful to the OPP, the MTO, and the Town. Together, they worked tirelessly with us to construct a brilliant new plan that allowed our cherished parade tradition to carry on safely and smoothly.

A huge shoutout goes to our phenomenal Parade Committee and our organizational partners. They had their collective hands full for weeks leading up to the big day, meticulously coordinating detours and route access so everyone could get where they needed to be.

To the countless volunteers who braved Mother Nature’s intense heat wave to keep things running even though your shoes were melting on the road. —you are the true backbone of this event! And to our amazing followers and community members who came out early and waited patiently despite the heat: your support means the world to us. Because of this incredible teamwork and well-planned solution, the tradition of the best parade around could continue.
