Town Directory Whitby Newsletter
Everything Worth Doing in Whitby this week!
Wednesday, May 13, 2026 · Issue #1
Hello everyone! I am very excited to send out the very first edition of the Town Directory Whitby Newsletter. You are our founding subscribers, and I want to thank you for signing up.
Every Wednesday, we'll share upcoming events in Whitby that you and your family won't want to miss. Know something we missed or see an error? Feel free to email us at admin@towndirectory.ca. Our goal is to build a community where no one misses out!
A few events are coming up in the next few weeks, including the opening of the Whitby Jolly Bubble, expected soon, and the Rotary Truck Frenzy at the end of the month.
Make sure you check out the now open-for-the-season Whitby Farmer's Market outside of the Whitby Public Library on Wednesdays 9AM - 3PM!

Indoor exhibits and live animal presentations make this one feel different from the usual play-place rotation. Great for kids who are into snakes, lizards, and anything a little wild.
