Help Create Cornwall’s Culture Days Pathway

October 8, 2025

Get ready for a weekend of hands-on creativity as the City of Cornwall is hosting a free, family-friendly event next weekend in celebration of Ontario Culture Days | Fête de la culture.

This year’s event features a unique call to action: community members of all ages are invited to lend their artistic talents to help local artists Pat and Sean complete the Community Pathway project.
