If you’d like to be involved in hosting coffee hour, please sign up for any week you’re available. There will be a short orientation session for new volunteers on Sept 18 and Sept 25, at 10:00am.

5. Schools using space at St. Aidan’s We are excited to welcome both Claremont School (located in our old Memorial Hall) and a new school, The Cole Academy, to St. Aidan’s this fall. Both schools will be renting space in our lower level during the week, and using the south-east door for access. Please avoid these areas of the building during the school day so that you do not disturb the children learning. Additionally, the schools will be using our circular driveway on Queen St for morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. Please ensure that you are not blocking the driveway from 8-9 am and 3-4 pm, Monday-Friday.
