MOUNT FOREST - The Township of Wellington North is pleased to invite all volunteers and newcomers to our community to join us on Thursday, September 18, for our annual Volunteer Celebration and Newcomer Welcome event.
This celebration will be held between 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at the Mount Forest and District Sports Complex (850 Princess Street). The event will include displays from a variety of community organizations, networking, and Mayor’s welcome, with the catered lunch being served at noon.
If you have recently moved to the area, this is an opportunity to learn more about your community, ask questions and receive a welcome bag full of useful information and goodies. You can also grab a recycling bin if you have not already done so!
This is a free event; however, registration is required, and can be completed at the following Eventbrite link until Wednesday, September 10: https://WNNewcomerEvent2025.eventbrite.com

This celebration will fall at the beginning of Welcoming Week, which is an annual opportunity that brings new and long-time residents together to build stronger ties. It affirms the importance of welcoming and inclusive places and spaces and gives partner organizations an opportunity to connect with newcomers in the community. This year Welcoming Week takes place from September 12-21 and is being celebrated with a variety of events taking place across Guelph – Wellington.
“Volunteers are the heartbeat of Wellington North. During Welcome Week, we’re especially proud to honour the spirit of volunteerism, extend a warm welcome to our newcomers, and celebrate the inclusive values that make our community such a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a family,” said Mayor Andy Lennox. “Whether you’ve just moved to Wellington North or have called it home for decades, I hope you’ll join us for this special celebration.”
