Coming Up at Eastern Shore Family: November & December!
Here's what's been going on at ESFRA!
There's lots happening at Eastern Shore Family Resource as we head into the final months of the year! From hands-on workshops and family activities to helpful information sessions and holiday celebrations, we're looking forward to connecting with our community over the coming weeks.
A Look Back at Fall
What a wonderful start to the season! We've loved welcoming families to our new space, celebrating at our Open House and seeing everyone enjoy the fun at Pumpkin Pizzazz.
A huge thank-you to all the families, volunteers, local businesses and community members who have supported us through this exciting new chapter. Your generous donations, contributions and encouragement have helped make our new centre feel like home.
Take a peek at some of our favourite fall moments!

Winter Program Registration
Planning to join us in the new year?
Registration for Jump Jiggle Jive (Lawrencetown) and WB Marine Drive opens in December! To give families who missed out on fall programming a chance to participate, we're offering two registration dates:
December 1 – New Participants For families who did not attend a registered program in the Fall.
December 10 – Returning Participants Registration opens to families who attended a registered program in the Fall.
Registration remains open to all families, regardless of previous participation, with spaces filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
We hope this helps make our programs more accessible and gives more families an opportunity to join in!
