On Saturday, September 24th, 2022, the newly established Kiwanis Club of South Simcoe held their first Teddy Bear's Picnic, defying the rain at the Alliston Fairgrounds pavilion. Our Producer estimates that about 100 children attended, but there could have been more. The event included singing and dancing with live artist Sarah Boyer, games, prizes, arts and crafts, and of course teddy bears. A good time was had by all.

We would like to thank the following sponsors of the Ontario Community Awareness Network. These businesses show they care about our shared community by helping us to provide a not-for-profit truly local voice to you and your neighbours. They also enable our crew to be able to continue providing donated services to promote local benevolent community groups and charities based in The City of Barrie, the Town of Innisfil, and the Township of Oro-Medonte.
