EG's Draft Event Strategy

Have your say!
In 2024 and 2025, we heard from residents, community partners, and event organizers about what makes East Gwillimbury’s events special — and how we can continue to make them even better.

We’re excited to share the Draft Event Strategy, which outlines a vision and direction for community events in East Gwillimbury over the coming years. Now it’s your turn to review the draft and share your thoughts before it’s finalized.

Provide feedback by November 30, 2025, by emailing comments to EGEvents@eastgwillimbury.ca. Your input will help shape the future of community events in East Gwillimbury!
