Move. Create. Connect. Learn. Recharge.
Live Well North Dumfries
What started with Pop-Up Programs is growing into something bigger!
Over the past couple of years, we’ve been trying new programs, testing different ideas and listening to your feedback through our Pop-Up Programs. These programs gave us a chance to see what you enjoyed, what worked well, and what kinds of activities you’d like to see offered in North Dumfries.
Now, we’re taking what we’ve learned and graduating to Live Well North Dumfries, a new approach to community programming designed to make it easier to find opportunities to move, create, connect, learn and recharge.
With construction underway at the Ayr Farmers Mutual Community Centre (formerly the NDCC), we currently have a little less space to work with. As a result, we’ll be offering a smaller selection of programs while construction continues.
But this is just the beginning!
Once construction is complete, we’ll have new spaces ready for programs, activities and community fun. In 2027, we’ll launch new and expanded opportunities through Live Well North Dumfries, building on what we’ve learned from our Pop-Up Programs and creating even more ways for residents to get involved.
