For a quiet rural hamlet located off the beaten track Bishop’s Mills is a remarkably thriving and vibrant community!
It’s difficult to remember the dry spring we had - what with the RAIN we’ve had over the last two months! Lawns, gardens, farms and trees are all enjoying the moisture. Unfortunately, the wind has taken down a few trees and branches. One old maple came down right in the Village, in front of Fred and Aleta’s place.
A crowd of enthusiastic visitors dropped by the Village Saturday, May 18 to check out the garage sales, United Church lunch counter and the famous Women’s Institute Made in Bishop’s Mills Bake Table.

Bishop’s Millions came out to celebrate winter with their neighbours on Sunday, Feb. 10, 2013. They enjoyed public skating, broom ball and other ice/snow games at the park in the afternoon, including a tug-o-war that turned out to be a lot of fun. Afterward, all gathered at the Community Hall for a heart-warming pot luck-supper.
