Salmon Penning & Dinner Club

Check out this listing from Kate Vanderburgh Realty at 2530 Hemmford Drive:

If your dream home starts with the backyard… this is the one you’ve been waiting for!!

Step into your own private retreat on a rare 202-ft deep ravine lot with no rear neighbours, just peaceful views and nature. Spend your summer days poolside in the saltwater inground pool, practice your short game on your very own 3-hole putting green, and host unforgettable evenings in the stone & stucco cabana complete with a TV + bar fridge.

Inside, the home impresses just as much. Offering 4+1 bedrooms and a family-friendly layout, it features a renovated kitchen, a cozy two-storey fireplace, and a fully finished basement with a rec room, wet bar, and gym or optional fifth bedroom.

A rare 3-car tandem garage completes this exceptional offering.

Our first Dinner Club is officially in the books and we’re doing it again.

Last time, 70 Oakville locals met over dinner across a handful of downtown spots, with everyone coming together after for a shared afterparty. We heard so many stories of great conversations, new friendships, and people trying restaurants they hadn’t been to before.

Our next Dinner Club is happening Thursday, April 23 at 6:30PM, and we’d love to have you there.

Recap of how it works:
You’ll start by filling out a quick quiz about your interests and food preferences. We use that to match you with a small group of 5–6 people at a downtown Oakville restaurant. On the day of, you’ll get your invite with the location. After dinner, everyone’s welcome to join the optional afterparty to keep things going.

The booking fee is $15.99 per seat, you pay for your own meal at the end of dinner

If that sounds like your kind of evening, grab a seat at the table.

A hands-on conservation tradition is back in Bronte this weekend, as the Halton Region Salmon and Trout Association hosts its 9th annual Chinook Salmon Penning Event this Saturday, April 11.

Starting at 12pm at Bronte Heritage Waterfront Park, families can take part in releasing young salmon into the harbour as part of a local stocking program.

The free event offers a chance to get up close with the process while learning how these efforts support salmon populations in Lake Ontario. Expect a lively waterfront atmosphere with plenty of volunteers, curious kids, and buckets of fish ready to go. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday by the lake.

Oakville’s largest community clean-up effort is set to return on Saturday, April 18, with more than 70 sites across town taking part.

Organized by the Oakville Community Centre for Peace, Ecology and Human Rights, the event runs 9-11am at parks, trails, ravines, and lakefront areas, with coordinators on hand to guide volunteers and provide supplies.

The annual effort continues to draw strong turnout, with 1,477 volunteers collecting 896 bags of waste last year alone. Participants are encouraged to bring their own gloves and tools, and students can earn community service hours.

A solid way to kick off spring while giving Oakville’s green spaces a much-needed refresh.
