The night sky over Melgund Township wasn’t the only thing glowing this Sunday. In a brilliant fusion of community spirit and pyrotechnic flair, Dyment played host to a pre-Family Day celebration that set the bar high for the week ahead.
With Monday marking both Family Day in Ontario and the kickoff of National Kindness Week across Canada, the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. Neighbors, travelers, and families gathered to transform a cold February evening into a warm display of togetherness.
The day was a sensory feast: the smell of local food, the sound of live music, and a grand finale of fireworks that painted the horizon in vibrant hues. It wasn’t just about the spectacle; it was about the connection.
A Heartfelt Thank You
An event of this scale doesn’t happen by magic. A massive shout-out goes to the Local Services Board of Melgund and the Community Recreation Committee for their tireless planning.
The atmosphere was kept electric by The Birdfolk Buskers, whose melodies provided the perfect soundtrack to the festivities. To every artist who shared their craft and every volunteer who braved the cold to serve food or direct traffic—today was special because of you.
