One of the best things about living in Waterloo Region is that incredible summer experiences are often just a short drive away. Instead of spending every weekend travelling hours north, why not rediscover what's right in our own backyard?

🌸 Wander Through Colour

From spectacular flower fields and pick-your-own farms to botanical gardens bursting with colour, July is one of the most beautiful months to explore the countryside. It's the perfect excuse for an afternoon drive and memorable family photos. Hint: Downey’s Farm, Breslau

🛶 Paddle Our Lakes and Rivers

Whether it's canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding or simply enjoying a quiet shoreline picnic, the Grand River system and nearby lakes offer countless opportunities to slow down and reconnect with nature. Hint: Canoeing the Grand

🧺 Shop Local at St. Jacobs Farmers' Market

Open year-round, the St. Jacobs Farmers' Market is a local favourite featuring fresh Ontario produce, baked goods, flowers, artisan cheeses, meats, local honey, maple syrup, preserves and more.

🍦 Find Your New Favourite Ice Cream Stop

Every community has that one hidden ice cream shop everyone talks about. Make it a July challenge to discover a new favourite with family or friends. Hint: Indulge Ice Cream, Cambridge

🚲 Explore by Bike

The Region continues to expand its cycling network, making it easier than ever to explore neighbourhoods, parks and trails on two wheels. Hint: Kissing Bridge Trailway

July Challenge: Pick one new local destination each weekend throughout July. You may be surprised how much there is to discover just minutes from home.

There is a distinct joy in discovering a new favourite pocket of the place you call home - whether it’s a quiet stretch of a biking trail, a hidden river launch, or the perfect local ice cream shop.
