Whether it’s taking in some live theatre or a hockey game, making a splash at the Aquatic Centre or enjoying some outdoor adventure, there’s no shortage of family fun to keep you entertained for the holiday.

Game On!
It’s become a bit of a tradition for the Cornwall Colts to host a Family Day game at the Cornwall Civic Complex. This year, the Colts will host the Nepean Raiders on Monday for a Family Day faceoff starting at 2:30 pm.
Tickets are available at the Aquatic Centre entrance prior to the game.

It’s showtime!
Cornwall’s beautiful Aultsville Theatre will be filled with All Shook Up on Family Day as the Seaway Valley Theatre Company presents the beloved musical for all to enjoy.
It’s 1955. Into a square little town in a square little state rides Chad, a great-lookin’, motorcyclin’, guitar-playin’, leather-jacketed roustabout who changes everything and everyone he meets. Loosely based on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, this hip-swiveling, lip-curling musical fantasy will have you jumpin’ out of your blue suede shoes with the hits of Elvis Presley, including classics like “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Hound Dog,” “Jailhouse Rock,” and “Don’t Be Cruel. ” The Family Day performance will begin at 2:00 pm and tickets are going fast so it’s best to grab yours online in advance (click here to purchase online).
