The cafe features a coffee bike cart (with community volunteers playing barista) that will be serving freshly brewed coffee and baked treats. This year\, Mary’s Bakery will be providing cookies and brownies\, with all proceeds going to help fund and grow more community events. \n\n\n\nWe set up right near the playground in Voyageur Park\, so feel free to come out and bring the kids to enjoy summer weather and get to know more of your neighbours in a social setting. Each year\, we aim to bring even more social connections and opportunities to get to know each other. We don’t have enough places to regularly meet up with friends and neighbours where we live\, we’re hoping this can serve to strengthen our community ties. \n\n\n\nWe can always use volunteers to help events like this run smoothly\, if you’re able to help out\, please email mail@cgow.ca to let us know.
