The Buckhorn Community Centre is the heart of activity in the Kawarthas. From our renowned art festival, wine and food extravaganza, entertaining dinner theatre, Canada Day celebrations, unique craft shows and ongoing programs, there’s something for everyone in beautiful Buckhorn, Ontario! We hope to see you soon! ******* Youth Activities Begin Again Our Youth Activity Committee has been putting together a winter program for children at the BCC. The first one is January 13 from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. -- kids can bring in their remote cars and run them around the Centre. For boys and girls of all ages and there is no charge. We are in need of volunteers to help run some of the programs and work on the committee as well. If you have some spare time, we'd love to have you join us. For all the scheduled activities, click here. * * * * * Birdies Fly at the BCC Badminton, anyone?
