Printed copies available to pick up from municipal buildings

Cobourg, ON (June 5, 2024) – The Town of Cobourg’s Community Services Division is pleased to announce copies of the 2024 Spring and Summer Leisure Guide are available to pick up from municipal buildings.

“After the incredible response we received from last year’s Leisure Guide and feedback from our community in support of a printed guide, we knew it was important to put funding towards printing this resource for our residents,” said Mayor Lucas Cleveland. “I encourage everyone to pick up a copy of the guide and discover the incredible community and cultural activities we are fortunate to have in Cobourg.”

The Leisure Guide provides information on arts, culture and recreation programming in the Town of Cobourg, including:

• Groups, clubs, and associations
• Information for parents and a “Kids Guide to Cobourg”
• Seniors’ activities and programs
• A Summer Bucket List
• Town Guide with municipal departments and contact information
• Self-guided landmark and mural walk
