LNHL Tournament Week: Arts and Crafts

LNHL Tournament Week: Arts and Crafts

Mark your calendar for a special celebration at the Varley!

In honour of the 50th anniversary of the Little Native Hockey League (LNHL) and Markham’s first hosting of the LNHL’s annual tournament, the Varley Art Gallery presents a lineup of free activities for all to enjoy as part of the festivities.

Crosby Memorial Arena is located just across the road from the Varley, so drop by any time to experience the indigenous-designed LunarFest lanterns in the Varley courtyard.

Be sure to also step inside and engage in the free hands-on activities. Then explore historic and contemporary works by Indigenous artists, and others, on display in our exhibition spaces.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to celebrate the LNHL’s golden anniversary and the communal spirit it embodies!
