The North Grenville Sustainability Fair is an event for the whole family on Sunday April 27th
Dear Expanded SNG Family,
This Sunday, April 27th, Sustainable North Grenville (SNG) is excited to be hosting the 16th annual Sustainability Fair and EV show at the North Grenville Municipal Centre from 10-3. The event draws visitors from all over the region who come to enjoy dozens of vendors and community groups, partake in mouth-watering local baking and cooking, test drive a new EV, and be serenaded by local musical talent. All for FREE!
A family-friendly event, kids can check out the many fun and interactive booths, and can hang out in the Kids’ Zone as long as they like. RVCA will be there with their microscopes examining underwater bugs, and kids can get their hands in the dirt to plant seedlings. And of course, there will be an arts and crafts station where kids can unwind and focus on a creative project.
Electric Vehicles in the Arena
Come and see many of the latest vehicles available on the market today, some of which you can sign up and test drive onsite. We are happy to welcome five of our local dealerships this year: Myers Kemptville Chevrolet Buick GMC, Barrhaven Ford, Star Motors of Ottawa Mercedes-Benz, Myers Manotick Jeep Ram Dodge Chrysler, and Donnelly Mitsubishi. We will also have onsite Weagant Farm Supplies to showcase the commercial line of Greenworks outdoor power equipment. The strength of our show is always our friends and neighbours who bring their personal vehicles to show and discuss performance in our area and our climate. Come ask your questions and see the latest technology!
Enjoy Local Food
While you explore the fair, be sure to stop by The Boathouse Café, a new local favourite from the historic hamlet of Burritt’s Rapids. They’ll be serving up a variety of fresh, locally sourced meals, snacks, and beverages—including vegetarian, vegan and omnivore-friendly options.
Live Music All Day
Music lovers can enjoy performances throughout the day, alternating between informal ‘busking’ sets in the foyer and stage performances inside. In the morning, you’ll hear the ever-popular Grenville Troubadours, the surrealistic Bruce Enloe and the lyrical Arthur McGregor & James Clugston. In the afternoon, listen to the indefatigable Bruce, plus the toe-tapping tunes of the Heroic Mad Peasants, with the harmonious sounds of Tripoly closing out the afternoon.
Would you like to volunteer with us?
If you're coming to the show and would like to join with us during the busy event for ~45 minutes or some time of your choosing, simply respond to this email & let us know when you'd like to be part of the team and if you have preferences on where you'd most like to help.
The event is on from 10am – 3pm this Sunday, and is FREE!
