How to Register for Courses
Early Spring 2021, Ramara Recreation moved to a new online registration system called Perfect Mind. We did not migrate old account information from before the COVID-19 shutdown. If your family signed up for virtual crafts during lockdown or is enrolled in Summer Camp 2021, you already have an account. Contact us 705-325-3091 or email to have us send out your unique log in code to access the account we have already set up for you.

Snowmanathon |

A Ramara winter tradition! Every year from January through March we ask residents to participate in our annual “snow creations” building contest. Whether it's a snowman or snow family or something else just as creative, as long as it's built with snow! Simply build your creation, snap a picture for us and send it so we can show it off on social media. Pictures will be compiled and judged by a panel of “experts” and acknowledged by Mayor and Council in a spring meeting. All entries should be sent to recreation@ramara.ca Happy Building! |
Photo Contests |
|
Each year we ask the community to take part in some local contests that involve sending us digital pictures of the season's theme. These have included Halloween decorated homes, Christmas displays and Spring has sprung. You have always been so generous in showing off your community pride and we hope to continue for as long as you keep sending pictures in. Sometimes we even use them in promotional material (with permission) to show people outside of the region just how special Ramara is to us. Stay tuned to the Community Calendar for upcoming dates. |
