Really nice art studio with great prices. Just happened to stop in and was so surprised and happy to have stumbled on this place. Gorgeous artwork from over 20 artisans. They have blown glass, stone, original artwork and watercolours and jewelry. Everything was gorgeous and curated. Very knowledgable man working there who was passionate about setting up this local community.featured artisans in this gem. Highly recommend visiting.

I’m an artist and hairstylist in Alexandria, and I recently visited the Priest’s Mill Arts Centre during the Apple and Art Tour. I was amazed by the history and the beautiful renovation of this place. The story of Father Alexander Macdonnell and those who rebuilt and cared for this building is really inspiring. The gallery is a lovely space that showcases the work of many community artists. The creative energy here is fantastic, and it’s a great reflection of our local talent. The art on display is diverse and engaging, making it a must-see for anyone who loves art. The Priest’s Mill Arts Centre is a wonderful spot in Alexandria, and I highly recommend visiting it. It’s a place where you can really feel the history and creativity of our town.👌

Spent this morning learning how to do a stained glass butterfly. The class was the right size (8) and the teaching staff was wonderful. Very patient and helpful. I look forward to another class.

We had the most wonderful time today watercolour painting with Crystal Bashar’s. We painted peonies . The studio was an absolutely spectacular space filled with the most stunning peonies . I am a beginner and still came away with a picture that I am proud of. We had a great group of people and there were some very lovely pictures in the end. Would definitely recommend that it is a great way to spend a day with a friend.

We had the privilege of visiting PMAC last month. Lourens has done an amazing job with revamping the gallery! We were delighted to see the works of some of our favourite local artists and discovered several new ones. The art is so beautifully displayed and we will definitely recommend this local gem to our guests as a perfect place to shop or to just admire the artwork. Bravo! Lucie & Nathalie

Had a wonderful learning experience today at PMAC. With careful instruction, detailed demonstrations and much kind encouragement, lovely Helen Ceres helped us to create beautiful works of art! With our own hands. I am so proud and grateful. So much fun! I will definitely return for more classes. And the artwork on display in the gorgeous surroundings only added to the inspiration. You have to try it out!

I was really struck by the quality and variety of work on display. Really beautiful. I had just been in a gallery in Montreal the day before and found the work in the PM Arts Centre way more interesting and accomplished. Very pleasant vibe about the place. I hate giving stars, but the place is definitely worth a look.

I did a group class which included glass blowing and stained glass making. Eric, Marc-Andre and Josh went above and beyond to share their passion for these forms of art, providing a very enjoyable, beginner-friendly and safe class. Even though my group was big (13 people), the team did an amazing job in offering personalized support to each class participant. They were happy to answer all of our questions and help us fix whatever mistakes we were making. The studio is combined with a store so, if you can't join a class, you can drop in and check out beautiful glass objects which are available for sale.

Sunday brunch with the ladies was a delight, filled with laughter, a beautiful view, and phenomenal service from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted and treated like we truly mattered. The owner even came by to personally ask for our feedback, which made the experience feel all the more special. A true breath of fresh air

This is a very well maintained par 72 course. A great variety of holes, many up and downs, and some real challenges - particularly #12. Tees are set to accommodate various skill levels. The 19th hole has good drink choices and serves very good food.

Its so outdated, garbages in the bathroom were over flowing when our party arrived... Not what I expected a Golf & Country club would be like
Lori P — Google review
First time at this golf course, and we won't be returning. Friendly Staff and nice people. But the course itself; it seems the designer tried to build an 18 hole on too little land. People intruding on others fairways and yelling 4 is common place. We were so frustrated by the distractions and worried about our safety, we left mid course.

Such a gorgeous park with great facilities and picnic area. A wonderful playground with play structures and splash pad, perfect for family fun. Such a shame that some dog owners are disrespectful to this beautiful community park and choose not pick up after their dogs.

So much fun! Great spot for the kids (and adults as well). My son and his friend had a blast going from the park, to the splash pad to the beach. We were able to find a spot on a picnic table under a tree and watch the kids play. Dogs are welcome on leash which is always a big + for us as we travel with the dogs.

Was only there for a few minutes. Looks fantastic. By the water, huge play structure, basketball, tennis courts I think, paved paths by the water.

Amazing park with washrooms available for public and lots of family fun my girls love this park
Chris L — Google review
A lovely big park on the edge of an archetypal Ontario small town, complete with a large, serene lake with a sandy beach for swimming, playground for kids, soccer fields, baseball diamonds and a skate park. Lots of walking paths, benches, picnic tables and gazebos. Plenty of parking. There's also a youth/community centre on the grounds and a huge event stage that's mostly used for Canada Day celebrations. I often grab some take-out for lunch and sit by the water to eat when the weather is nice. Aside from when there are events happening, it's rarely crowded. Great place to walk the dog!
