Dyment is a close-knit rural community within Melgund Township, Northwestern Ontario, shaped by its landscape, shared history, and strong sense of neighbourliness. For generations, Dyment has been a place where people rely on one another, where informal gathering spaces matter, and where community life is built through participation rather than population size. Its rural setting brings both independence and challenge, making local services, recreation, and cultural activities especially important for quality of life.
Melgund Recreation, Arts and Culture supports Dyment by creating opportunities for residents to come together through recreation, arts, and community-based initiatives that reflect local priorities. From creative programming and community events to food security and skills-building activities, our work in Dyment focuses on strengthening social connections, supporting well-being, and ensuring that residents have access to meaningful opportunities without needing to leave their community.
