Happy Spring, Durham! It may not feel like it outside just yet, but this weekend is packed with reasons to celebrate the season. Brooks Farms is running their Easter Fest and maple syrup experience all weekend long, the Courtice Library has an Easter storytime for the little ones, and if you're looking for something active, the kids can try martial arts for free at Clarington Martial Arts & Fitness Centre.
