The Maples Academy PTA is excited to announce we are hosting a Spring Market on April 13th, 8am-1pm!

The vendors will rent a space which raises money for the school while all profits from the day's event are theirs to keep! In addition to these vendors, we will also hold raffles and silent auctions for which we are currently seeking donations from local businesses. If you are looking to donate, act as a vendor, or simply attend, it is sure to be a great day! This market will provide an opportunity to fundraise for the continued enrichment of our students' experiences and education at The Maples Academy and also engage with our local community.

Bed and Breakfast
Theatre Orangeville, Broadway, Orangeville, ON, Canada
Brett and Drew want to move out of their tiny downtown apartment, but they just lost their seventh bidding war in Toronto.
When Brett unexpectedly inherits the historic family home in a quiet tourist town, the couple decides to leave the city and open a B&B. But when the boys face friction in their new community, they discover the simple life is more complicated than they thought.
With dozens of hilarious characters all portrayed by two men, Bed and Breakfast is a heartfelt comedy about “being out” in a small town, skeletons in the closet, and finding a place to call home.
