In June, municipalities and community organizations promote the physical, social and environmental benefits of indoor and outdoor recreation and their various programs and activities. This year’s theme is 'Community thrives here,' focusing on the following weekly themes: Movement, Trailblazers, Guardians, and Connection.

“Residents and visitors to Ramara have many opportunities to participate in outdoor and indoor recreation activities and events.
