Thank You Parkview Transit & Simcoe Coach Lines

On Monday, November 26th, Parkview Transit & Simcoe Coach Lines rolled up to our office in a big yellow school bus and dropped off a busload of donated coats for our annual Coats for Kids Drive!

In the spirit of the season, over 500 local drivers collected gently used and new coats to help keep kids in our community warm this winter.

We want to thank Parkview Transit & Simcoe Coach Lines for their generosity and support of our Coats for Kids Drive!

Register now for the KICK Winter Sessions!

KICK (Kids in the Community Kitchen) is a free, fun, and informal after-school program that teaches kids about food preparation, cooking skills, the Canada’s Food Guide, and meal planning. Each session includes tasty food, fun games, and activities about food, nutrition, and being active. The program is delivered by our Registered Dietitian with the help of local youth volunteers, and is made possible by a grant from The Baxter International Foundation.

The KICK After-School Winter Sessions start January 4, 2010 and includes a new March Break Camp!
