Greetings from our Chair
November is here and winter weather is just around the corner.
As a tourist town, Gananoque becomes very quiet and it's easy to settle into our nest and wait out the end of winter. But we all know how important it is to keep ourselves active both physically and mentally. Enjoying the company of friends and neighbours is also vital.
GAN is a safe place to connect with people and get involved with creative programs.
GAN is here for the community and relies on community engagement.
Do you have an idea that you would like to participate in? Talk to us.
Thank you, merci
Dennis O’Connor, Chair
