Summer seems to have arrived with a bang with this heat we’ve been having. I don’t know about you, but I think it’s just great to be able to get outside with my family and enjoy the warmer weather together. For the next couple of months, our Family Matters activities will be shifting focus to embrace the season. There will be lots of different activities on the calendar to encourage your family to get outdoors while meeting others in your community.
First of all, we invite you to kickoff the summer with us at our Outdoor Family Kickoff to Summer event on Saturday, June 10. This event was such a success last year that we have decided to hold it again. Be sure to join us for a day of fun with your families with all of this on the agenda:
- Outdoor story time with the Morrin Centre
- Outdoor games
- An appearance from the Wellness carebear
- Face painting
- Allergy safe snacks, BBQ
More ways to connect with other parents & kids over the summer
Thanks to volunteer parents in the community, participate in Park Playdates across the city at various parks on either Friday or Saturday mornings. Get out and run around in a playground with your little ones or just rock your baby in the stroller or baby carrier while you have a chat with other parents. Check out the summer line-up for Park Playdates on the right hand side of our Park Playdates page.
Stay tuned for exciting changes to our Family Matters programming starting in October which will bring more regular programming for our early childhood activities.
Follow us on Facebook and check out our events calendar often to stay tuned to updates about all our Family Matters activities.
Wishing you all well as we countdown to summer over these next few weeks!
Warm regards,
Jessica
