Perch and pickerel were the most popular choices at the Erie Beach Hotel in Port Dover this past July. The Cove Room continues its decades-long tradition of bringing celery bread and a variety of salads to the table — and for offering tempting desserts to top off the day.
A lovely way to end the 2025-26 Dining Out season.

Monday afternoon book group
There were six of us today but we discussed a whole whack of books, had a lovely lunch, and didn’t have to do dishes!


Lunch and chat and books books books!
Our Monday lunchtime book group has wide-ranging taste!

It’s about the friendships as much as it is about the exercise
Sometimes it’s too hot to walk, or too cold to walk. Sometimes it’s the perfect day to walk, but no matter what the weather, there’s always a group of our walkers who find the time to gather and chat. That activity in itself is so soul-rewarding. Thanks, Norah O, for the great photo.

We walk, we talk, we admire the view …
Last week it was frost warnings, and this week it was heat warnings. No matter the weather, we walk, we talk and we admire the view! It’s always a great outing for our walking group!

Our Valued Elders
CFUW Brantford is blessed to have a number of longtime members who can relate the rich history of our club, and also of Brantford itself. During the Monday lunchtime book group gathering, we were treated to an insight into the birth of the iconic Stedman Bookstore, beloved for generations by Brantfordians. The Stedman legacy continues to this day, in the form of funding good works throughout our community. Our cherished longtime member, Marian Weir, shared with us anecdotes and history about the birth of Stedman’s Bookstore and the Stedman Foundation.

Day Trippers’ outing: pizza and a show!
What a great way to spend a chilly and damp Spring day. Our “Day Trippers” travelled to Cambridge for a delicious lunch at Pizzeria Motola followed by a matinee show of “Finding Neverland” at the Hamilton Family Theatre. Truly an A+ day!

Our scholarship committee hard at work!
