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

The TCAG offers public 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 childcare centre. 

All services are offered at an affordable price for residents of Thorold and surrounding communities. The TCAG building also serves as a hub for community meetings, community collection drives, and other community-access events and services.
