Melgund Recreation

Melgund Recreation, Arts and Culture is a community hub celebrating creativity, connection, and well-being in Melgund Township, Northwestern Ontario. We offer programs in arts, culture, and recreation that engage residents of all ages—fostering community participation, skill-building, and storytelling. From family-friendly events and workshops to audiobooks, exhibits, and cultural programs, we aim to nurture imagination, preserve local heritage, and inspire meaningful experiences that bring people together. At Melgund, creativity meets community, and everyone is welcome to explore, create, and share.
Thanks to the Ontario Arts Council, we were able to run our workshops on digital arts. We now have the skills for image processing and creating a stronger online presence for our community.
