The Thorold Community Activities Group (TCAG) was founded by a group of volunteers in 1981. These individuals believed that Thorold deserved its own recreation program. Since 1981 the TCAG has evolved from a trailer in the Club Capri parking lot, to the flourishing Thorold Community Activities Group Recreation Centre located on Richmond Street in Thorold.

The TCAG offers public sport, culture and recreation programs for all ages, ranging from fitness classes like Zumba, yoga/chair yoga, kickboxing, karate/tai chi, and cardio classes; youth dance, cooking classes, floor hockey, and arts and crafts classes; adult league programs such as volleyball and pickleball; and multigenerational programs such as woodcarving. The TCAG also provides school-age day camps that operate during all summer and school breaks, as well as a nonprofit, fully-licensed CWELCC childcare centre. 

All services are offered at an affordable price for residents of Thorold and surrounding communities, and no one is turned away due to financial circumstances. The TCAG building also serves as a hub for food security and literacy initiatives, community meetings, community collection drives, and other community-access events and services.
