The South Parkland Healthy Child Coalition is combining forces with Dauphin Rec Services to host a free family fun day event this Friday at the Parkland Rec Complex.
SPHCC member Cathy Cyr says this is their first attempt at hosting a Family Fun day of this nature.
"In the past, we have done screening events for families and children. This one is more fun, information, free stuff. It has a little bit of a lighter flair to it".
Cyr says they have a number of activities planned from 9 until 2 on Friday.
"Every Friday, South Parkland Healthy Child sponsors parent and child swim, so that will be open on Friday. And then there will be a bunch of booths and displays set up for families to get resources at. There will be an activity centre for children, there will be lots of mascots from several organizations there. There will be free books and crafts and snacks."
Kids are also encouraged to bring their teddy bears for a check-up, and get their picture taken with one of the many mascots that will be in attendance.
Information on this and any other South Parkland Healthy Child event can be found on their Facebook page.
