Each June, communities across Ontario celebrate June is Recreation and Parks Month (JRPM). JRPM is recognized by municipalities, community organizations, and schools as a way of promoting the benefits of being active and recognizing the contribution that recreation and parks make to the quality of life of residents and visitors.
The Township of Wilmot is excited to celebrate June is Recreation and Parks Month. Whether it's hiking the over 58 kilometres of trails in Wilmot, swimming and participating in recreational activities at the Wilmot Recreation Complex (WRC) or picnicking in one of Wilmot’s 24 parks with family and friends, there are endless opportunities to get active and enjoy our beautiful Township.
