Running from September 5 to 7 at Westwood Park, the weekend festival kicks off the fall season with a vibrant mix of live music, local food vendors, and sponsor booths. On Sunday, families can enjoy Kerrfest Kids with market shopping, musical characters, and entertainment for all ages.

This year’s music lineup blends Canadian rock icons, Celtic tunes, and country charm. Friday and Saturday will feature performances from classic rock bands, emerging solo artists, and longtime favourites like Kim Mitchell, The Spoons, and Jim Cuddy. Whether you’re into 80s nostalgia or new Canadian voices, there’s something for everyone.

Bandology’s summer Band Camp is coming to Oakville from July 21 to 25, inviting kids in Grades 1 to 12 to dive into music, try new instruments, and connect with fellow young musicians. Held at King’s Christian Collegiate, the camp offers everything from beginner-friendly activities to full concert band sessions, all led by experienced instructors in a fun and welcoming environment. No prior experience is needed, and families facing financial barriers can access up to 90% in subsidies, along with free instrument loans. With hands-on learning and a final performance to cap off the week, it’s a great way to build skills, confidence, and community through music.

John Knox Christian School celebrated its 65th anniversary on June 7 with the unveiling of a major expansion at its Oakville campus. The project adds a second gymnasium, four new classrooms for Grades 7 and 8, dedicated music, art, and science rooms, two libraries, and upgraded change rooms and washrooms. Principal George Petrusma called the new space a “ripple effect” that will benefit the entire school community, with plans for future growth already being considered.

Founded in 1959 with just 44 students in a church basement, JKCS has grown to nearly 400 students today. The expansion increases capacity to 428 students and reflects the school's continued development and long-standing presence in Oakville.

Frosty is a lovable 3-year-old Great Pyrenees with a goofy side and a growing love for treats, toys, and gentle grooming. He’s still learning the ropes of indoor life after being an outdoor dog, so he’s looking for a calm, adult-only home with a secure yard and someone experienced with shy pups. With a little patience and a lot of love, Frosty’s ready to become a loyal companion.
