Program Spotlight

Exploring the Community

This program is an opportunity for you and your child to spend time outdoors and discover new places to enjoy together. Exploring the Community is different every time; we may visit the nearby fire station, enjoy a nature walk on a local trail, or play at our community park.

Play in the Park

Nature is our playground! During Play in the Park, we bring the fun to a local, community park. Come meet us to play, sing songs, and explore the outdoors!

Click here to see all the upcoming Play in the Park events (listed under Events & Workshops) as well as the locations where Play in the Park is offered on a weekly basis (listed under Locations Offered).

Outdoor Family Time

Let’s bring the centre outside for Outdoor Family Time! Join us outside the centre to sing songs, read stories and play.
