Construction Themed StoryWalk in Downtown Grimsby

What is a StoryWalk?

A StoryWalk is an outdoor reading experience that places pages of a children’s book along a walking route. As visitors move from stop to stop, they read the story together while enjoying fresh air, exercise, and time in the community.

This year’s featured story, Mighty, Mighty Construction Site, follows a hardworking team of construction vehicles as they work together to tackle a big job. The story celebrates teamwork, perseverance, and helping others — making it the perfect fit for Downtown Grimsby this summer.
