SUMMARY:The Sororum Presents An Evening at Erchless Estate
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of meaningful connection\, history\, and thoughtful conversation in one of Oakville’s most beautiful heritage settings. \n\n\n\n\nFor one evening only\, The Sororum invites you to experience Erchless Estate in a way few have—through a thoughtfully curated gathering designed to inspire\, connect\, and leave a lasting impression. \nThe evening begins as you are welcomed onto the terrace and gardens surrounding the historic Coach House. As the sun softens and the grounds come to life\, guests are invited to settle into a relaxed yet elevated atmosphere—where conversation flows effortlessly\, introductions feel natural\, and connections begin to take shape among a warm and engaging circle of women. \nFrom there\, you’ll be guided through the gardens to the Estate museum for a private\, curated tour of the home. This is not a typical visit; it’s an intimate exploration of the stories often left untold. Together\, we’ll uncover the lives and legacies of the influential women who helped shape both the Estate and the broader Oakville community. \nAs part of this experience\, guests will also step into a powerful exhibit highlighting Oakville’s role in the Underground Railroad\, offering a deeply moving and culturally significant moment that invites reflection and perspective. \nAs twilight settles\, the evening gently transitions back to the Coach House\, where guests gather once more for elevated\, thoughtfully curated refreshments in an intimate and beautifully styled setting. This is where the experience deepens\, where conversations become more meaningful\, ideas are exchanged\, and a sense of shared presence begins to unfold. \nThe evening continues with a featured presentation\, offering thoughtful insight into the role women play in preserving history\, both seen and unseen. Through storytelling and guided discussion\, guests are invited not only to listen\, but to engage\, reflect\, and contribute to a conversation that feels both personal and collective. \nEvery detail of the evening has been intentionally designed\, from the setting to the flow\, to the atmosphere\, to create something that feels rare: a space where learning\, beauty\, and connection exist seamlessly together. \nWith a limited number of guests\, this experience is intentionally intimate—allowing for a level of connection and presence that is often hard to find. \nIf you’ve been craving an evening that feels inspiring\, grounding\, and genuinely meaningful—this is it. \nInspire. Empower. Belong.

SUMMARY:Oakville Historical Society - Afternoon Tea at The Cottages [SOLD OUT]
DESCRIPTION:Note: Event is sold out (April 14\, 2025) \n\nIn 1840 the Duchess of Bedford introduced the custom of having a light snack in the afternoon to tide her over as dinner was served very late. The habit spread throughout the aristocracy and quickly developed into a more substantial repast. \nJoin us for “Afternoon Tea at the Cottages” on Sunday May 4.  Our costumed ladies will serve you savoury finger sandwiches\, delectable sweets\, fresh scones with cream and strawberry preserves and piping hot tea in our Spring Garden tea room. Feel free to dress up a little or a lot. Hats\, gloves and fascinators are welcome. \nWe will have three sittings at: 12:00\, 2:00 and 4:00.  In order to best make use of our limited space\, we are offering tickets in tables of four\, so bring along your Duke and/or Duchess friends and family. \nRegretfully\, the cottage is not wheelchair accessible. Children 10 years of age and older are welcome when accompanied by an adult. \nTickets:\nMembers of the Oakville Historical Society have the opportunity to purchase advance tickets directly from the Society thus avoiding the Eventbrite fee.\nTickets are $40 per person. You can pay at the office\, 110 King St on Tuesday or Thursday afternoons between 1:00-4:30 pm or by etransfer at historyoakville@gmail.com. \nPlease be sure to order in groups of 4 tickets and note in the comments your name\, email and which sitting you prefer. (12:00\, 2:00 or 4:00)\, otherwise we cannot guarantee a reservation will be held as we will not be able to send you a confirmation. \nTickets will be available to the general public Monday April 7. \nPlease go to our website at https://www.oakvillehistory.org/activities/afternoon-tea-at-the-cottages for the menu and further details\, any questions can be directed to oureventsohs@gmail.com

Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we can all pitch in to clean the areas around the Museum\, the OHS and Lakeside Park. Coffee and treats will be provided. \n“The 34th annual Earth Day Clean Up of Oakville Nature Sites will take place on Saturday\, April 26 beginning at 9 am sharp unless noted at most of the sixty-six nature sites now scheduled for cleaning up\,” remarked Stephen Dankowich\, co-Founder and Executive Director of the Oakville Community Centre for Peace\, Ecology and Human Rights (OCCPEHR). \n“Before noon and in just a few hours time on April 26\, hundreds and hundreds of Oakville citizens and students will together beautify and transform Oakville’s nature sites! Waste will be removed from our beautiful parks\, trails\, ravines\, woodlots\, waterways and lakefront in a concerted community-wide effort to maintain a clean\, green\, litter-free Oakville\,” he exclaimed. \n“You will be joining in with people around the world also doing something positive and important for the natural environment in celebration of Earth Day. We look forward to receiving your confirmation of participation\,” he added. \nThe Theme for the 34th annual event encourages everyone to “Pitch-in for a clean\, green\, litter-free Oakville.” \nErchless Museum and Oakville Historical Society
