Stay Connected and discover more about Life in Pelham!
The Town of Pelham’s bi-annual Life in Pelham Guide — commonly known as the community guide — was offered in 2022 as a series of special inserts in the local print publication, which as of January 2023 moved to a fully online model. In the fall of 2023, the guides returned as a print copy that was distributed through Canada Post to residents.
The Life in Pelham printed mini-guides are available to pick up at the Meridian Community Centre and at Pelham Town Hall.
