PLAYGROUP IS OVER FOR THE SUMMER MONTHS

and should be returning in the fall. Thank you to all the volunteers that help run it!

It's difficult to believe, but the autumn season is fast approaching. This means that the Wildwood Playgroup will soon be resuming their weekly get together. So, it is time to come and catch up with old acquaintances and to make some new friends in the neighbourhood.

Beginning on September 9th, please come join us every Wednesday morning from 9:45am to 11:45am at the Wildwood Community Hall. If you are returning from last year, please note the change in time. We meet in the main hall. It's a great deal at $2 per family per visit. Lots of toys are available for the children to play with. At home by yourself with a new baby? Pack up the little one and come join other parents for conversation. Please remember that both babies and preschoolers are welcome to come and play. Bring your own coffee and snacks and make a morning of it. Hope to see you all there!

If you are interested in helping out with this year's playgroup, please contact Shelby at (403) 398-8444 or CLICK HERE to send her an email.
