  • "Landscapes and Dreamscapes" by Kevin Harper

    Scugog Arts presents: ‘Landscapes & Dreamscapes’ by Kevin J Harper. This exhibition challenges the established distance between realistic and dreamlike scenarios by incorporating dreamlike works amongst the more realistic nature of Kevin J Harper’s older work. Harper aims to lessen this distance through the relationship between the real and imagined snapshots of the everyday and mundane world we live in. As a mostly self-taught artist, Kevin J Harper finds solace in painting and drawing as it continues to be a central source of play, rejuvenation & transformation for him. 

    This exhibition will run from October 11 to November 11, with the artist reception on Oct 18th from 1-3pm. Meet the artist, enjoy light refreshments and experience Kevin Harper’s work in a bright space full of creative energy!

  • Firehouse Fright Night 2025
    The 18th annual Firehouse Fright Night trail of terrors inside the huge corn maze at Watson Farms again! Dare to enter a space teeming with spooky creatures for this year's theme - "Courtice's CarnEvil!" Check out our spooky theme reveal trailer when it lands here later in September!
    • Interactive, story-driven trail (about 30 mins to walk through)
    • Spooky Wagon Ride from the park lot down to the maze!
    • Over 30 scenes spread across 100,000 square feet of field
    • 80+ characters that will seek you out as you travel
    • Safety Note -> Loud sounds, strobe lights, fog, and other special effects in use!
    • Great for all ages and especially for families (and date nights!)
    • Snacks/treats (giant cookies, candy apples, etc) for sale at the exit just $3ea or 2/$5
    Parents - you know best what your kids enjoy for a good scare. We have seen kids age 5 and less who are fascinated and love the experience, and we have seen teens who can't make it past the clowns (oh yes, there will be creepy clowns folks!) We leave it to you to decide if its the right fit for your kids. We do also provide a "magic" word just before you enter; something you can shout out to scare the monsters back...a little bit.
     
    This event wouldn't be possible without the exceptional, generous support of Watson Farms and Paul Watson in particular. Thank you for hosting our monsters year after year!
     
    ABOUT TICKETS
    • You buy 1 ticket per person, for a booked time.
    • Discounted prices are shown for buying 4 or more tickets!
    • Like every year, we absorb the service fees!
    • Compare us to other events - we are 35% to 80% less expensive than any other spooky event out there, but with the a huge and uniquely interactive experience!
    • You will be sent in as a group (max of 6 at a time)
    • If you have more than 6 in your party, we will split you into multiple groups at the trail entrance
    • If you are less than 6 in your party, we will send smaller groups in as one larger group
    • Tickets are sold online only for booked times.
    • It is CRITICAL you arrive 20 minutes before your time. Example, if your ticket is for 7:00 - 7:10pm, you must arrive by 6:40pm. This is because we cannot just "slip you in" if you are late. It would push everyone else out of their time slot and that is not fair to them. There are no refunds if you are late.
    • Your ticket will come to you as an E-mail, and you need to bring that on your cell phone (or printed) so that we can scan them when you arrive.
    • Please make sure you have a ticket for EACH person in your group. Your ticket can only be used once. No ticket, no entry.
    IMPORTANT SAFETY ITEMS:
    • The trail is NOT considered accessibility-themed. This is a corn field, with uneven ground, corn stalks and cobs on the ground. While a wheelchair can fit through the width of the trail, wet weather and other conditions would make it difficult for persons needing any kind of mobility assistance to navigate. You may wish to come, but understand it can be difficult to to traverse!
    • By booking times, we are keeping the number of people in line at a minimum, reducing your wait time to enter
    • For your safety - there is no touching the monsters, pushing, crawling or running inside the maze
    • Loud sounds, strobe lights, fog and other special effects in use
    • Port-o-Potties are available on site

  • Redefining Wonder starring Chris Funk, The Wonderist

    Rediscover the wonder all around us!

    Multi-talented magician, musician and comedian, Chris Funk's parents wanted him to be a musician, but he wanted to be a magician. Chris integrates his love for music and magic into a show unlike any other. Finally, a magic show with live music!  Whether it’s a violin concerto, a magical dancing sheet of music, or impossibly suspending various instruments on stage, his show is in a league of its own. Redefining Wonder is a gripping and engaging multimedia experience that will have audiences spellbound. 

    With residencies at Disney and appearances on 'Penn & Teller: Fool Us,' 'Masters of Illusion' and 'America’s Got Talent' — where Simon Cowell called him ""the best magician we've had on the show so far"" — this is a performance you won't want to miss! Don't miss out - get your tickets today!

    Concessions and cash bar available.

    Tickets are only $38 and are available at the Ajax and McLean Community Centres, the Audley Recreation Centre, and online at www.ajax.ca/sfc. For more information, call 905-619-2529, ext. 2787 (ARTS), email us at stfranciscentre@ajax.ca, or visit us online at www.ajax.ca/sfc

    Join us for the TIFF Ajax Film Circuit at the St. Francis Centre

    Here’s your chance to watch films from the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) without driving into the city, dealing with traffic jams and paying for parking - it’s all right here in Ajax! Film selections include Canadian and foreign made films, contemporary cinema and thought-provoking independent films.

    The Last Showgirl
    This captivating tale of resilience and rhinestones from behind the lights of the Vegas Strip, stars Pamela Anderson as Shelly, a seasoned performer who must plan for her future when her show abruptly closes after a 30-year run. Emotionally floundering, Shelley tries to reconnect with a daughter she hardly knows, which proves just as difficult as losing the only job she has ever had. Bolstered by her best friend Annette (Jamie Lee Curtis), a brash cocktail waitress, Shelley must find her place in a world she shut the (stage) door on for years.

    Concessions and cash bar available.

    Tickets are only $12 and are available at the Ajax and McLean Community Centres, the Audley Recreation Centre, and online at www.ajax.ca/sfc. For more information, call 905-619-2529, ext. 2787 (ARTS), email us at stfranciscentre@ajax.ca, or visit us online at www.ajax.ca/sfc

  • Spycraft

    How does a middle-aged widow foil the Nazis in occupied France? By knitting—in code!

    During World War II, a middle-aged Canadian woman – secretly Jewish – is recruited by the British Operations Executive to serve as a spy in Nazi-occupied France. Her male colleague is skeptical she'll make any difference because she's a woman — and an 'old' one at that. But she defies expectations and challenges the chauvinism and antisemitism of the times, using her craft of knitting to pass coded intelligence messages about the Germans to the Allies. 

    'Spycraft' was inspired by the research of writers-producers Kirk Dunn and Claire Ross-Dunn, who uncovered untold stories of women during WWII using knitting as a tool for espionage — listening in on Nazi soldiers who never saw them as a threat and stitching secret codes into everyday garments to smuggle intelligence past enemy lines.

    Concessions and cash bar available.

    Tickets are only $35 and are available at the Ajax and McLean Community Centres, the Audley Recreation Centre, and online at www.ajax.ca/sfc. For more information, call 905-619-2529, ext. 2787 (ARTS), email us at stfranciscentre@ajax.ca, or visit us online at www.ajax.ca/sfc

  • TIFF Ajax Film Circuit presents "Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution""

    Join us for the TIFF Ajax Film Circuit at the St. Francis Centre!

    Here’s your chance to watch films from the Toronto international Film Festival (TIFF) without driving into the city, dealing with traffic jams and paying for parking - it’s all right here in Ajax! Film selections include Canadian and foreign made films, contemporary cinema and thought-provoking independent films.

    Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution
    In recognition of International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the St. Francis Centre presents a free screening of Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution. In the early 1970s, teenagers with disabilities faced a future shaped by isolation, discrimination and institutionalization. Camp Jened, a ramshackle camp “for the handicapped” (a term no longer used) in the Catskills, exploded those confined. Jened was their freewheeling Utopia, a place with summertime sports, smoking and make-out sessions, where campers experienced liberation and full inclusion as human beings. Their bonds endured as many migrated west to Berkeley - a hotbed of activism where friends from Camp Jened realized that disruption, civil disobedience and political participation could change the future for millions. No one at Camp Jened could’ve imagined that those summers in the woods together would be the beginnings of a revolution!

    Concessions and cash bar available.

    This film presentation is FREE to attend, however, registration is required either online at www.ajax.ca/sfc, by email at stfranciscentre@ajax.ca or by calling 905-619-2529, ext. 2787 (ARTS).

    The Penguin Lessons
    Starring Oscar nominee Steve Coogan, this poignant dramedy follows an Englishman’s personal and political awakening after he adopts a penguin during a cataclysmic period in Argentine history. Inspired by true events, 'The Penguin Lessons' takes to heart the notion that saving someone’s life begins a new responsibility. In this case, that someone is a surprisingly wise, utterly adorable penguin. Helmed by Peter Cattaneo (The Full Monty; Military Wives), 'The Penguin Lessons' delivers this delightful story with wit, warmth and subtle insight into just how rewarding it can be to do the right thing.

    Concessions and cash bar available.

    Tickets are only $12 and are available at the Ajax and McLean Community Centres, the Audley Recreation Centre, and online at www.ajax.ca/sfc. For more information, call 905-619-2529, ext. 2787 (ARTS), email us at stfranciscentre@ajax.ca, or visit us online at www.ajax.ca/sfc

The Queen has always been the “fairest in the land” - her Magic Mirror tells her so!

Fortunately, Snow White escapes into the deep, dark woods, where she comes to a tiny cottage. Little does she know that the seven dwarves living there will help save her! Laugh out loud as Snow White and some audience members encounter hapless huntsmen, bad apples and little men with big hearts and short tempers. Will she find her “happily ever after?”
