The Town of Innisfil is a community that certainly thrives despite cooler temperatures! With numerous recreational activities for residents of all ages, as well as holiday events boasting with fun for the whole family, it’s no wonder families are relocating to the new, beautiful, ideally-located homes of Innisfil’s Belle Aire Shores. Let’s take a closer look at all the fun Innisfil has to offer during winter 2018!

Winter Programs

The Town of Innisfil certainly knows who to keep its residents active during the winter. Innisfil’s community recreational centres host winter Active Programs for all ages starting from November to the end of March. Parents can sign their preschoolers up for ballet, jazz, martial arts and more! Innisfil’s facilities also offer indoor soccer and shinny hockey leagues alongside skating lessons to get the toddlers started early. Other children’s and adult programs include painting and cooking classes, as well as volleyball and tennis. There are also general interest programs including financial planning, ballroom dancing and meditation classes! Seniors will also find a long list of programs to keep social and active during winter and the holiday season. Click here for Innisfil’s Winter Active Program Guide.
