About Dorset Snowball

Snowball was created by the volunteer Committee for the Dorset Recreation Centre back in 1991 as a community event and fundraiser for the Dorset Recreation Centre. Snowball takes place on the Friday and Saturday of Family Day Weekend every year and has grown from an event once only attended by people from Dorset to one that is now attended by people from all over Ontario.
