Join us for our Annual General Meeting as we reflect on the past year, share plans for the future, and celebrate the stories that shape our community.
Following the meeting we’re having Scarborough Show and Tell.
You are invited to share an item that says Scarborough to you. A photograph, souvenir, family keepsake, newspaper clipping, or mystery object. If it captures a memory or moment from our community, we’d love to see it!
Share the story behind your piece and discover the memories others hold dear.
One item.
One story.
A shared love of Scarborough.
