A free Skate and Helmet Lending Library is available at the North Grenville Municipal Centre in Kemptville, during all public skating hours. Equipment will be signed out and signed back in at the arena by a Municipal staff member. Valid photo identification will be required to borrow equipment. Skate aids for those who are still learning to stand on two skates also available. The goal of the Lending Library is to increase physical activity for all ages, with the availability of helmets in all sizes, to reinforce the importance of safety and preventing head injuries while on the ice.

While Alzheimer's is a central theme, it is not the only tone of this story. "Strangers Among Us" is a play about love, denial, acceptance, and family secrets. Two people meet and eventually fall in love while they and their families deal with some of the issues that can be associated with Alzheimer's. There are 10 characters in the show and each has their moment to shine while adding to the layering and movement of telling this compelling story.
