The sun was shining after a night of rain and thunder. We had delicious food, and fun activities for the whole family. We had such an amazing Summer Kick Off Event. We had approximately 100 people attend. We look forward to this event next year!  At this time we would like to send our a huge THANK YOU to:

Freightliner and their amazing staff provided all the delicious food. They cooked and served hot dogs, juice and bags of potato chips. United Way provided us with a Day of Caring where members from the Royal Bank of Canada team came out to volunteer at our event. They helped us with the games and activities with parents and their children. The City of Winnipeg graciously fully subsidized our request for renting 4 games. The RBC team had so much fun playing these games with the kids. Frontier College came out to host a Reading Tent. Bookmates also brought some fun literacy activities! Children were able to do some fun activities and take some books home. Communities 4 Families, Kelly Speak came out with a Mud Kitchen! How much fun it was seeing children young and old interact with other making concoctions of mud, water and grass! The Winnipeg Police sent 2 fantastic Cadets to interact with community members. The Cadets had so much fun playing basketball and on the play structure with the kids. Thank you for all your support, laughs, and helping hands that supported us in making this a successful event for the community.

We would thank the Assiniboine Park Conservancy for their donation of Community Access Tickets to the Assiniboine Zoo!! With the tickets we received, we were able to bring parents and children to the Assiniboine Zoo who might not have been able to go due to financial barriers. We made our trip on July 22nd, 2016. For some families it was their first Zoo experience which was very exciting. There was lots of laughs and smiles! Families were excited and very engaged in learning about all the different kinds of birds, animals and dinosaurs!
