Dads & Kids Night at the Museum

Calling all dads/male caregivers and kids – we have partnered with Rural Response for Healthy Children to host a night just for you! This program runs the last Thursday of each month from 6-7 p.m. and features fun-filled activities, parent discussions, and social time. There will be tours of the Museum and Historic Gaol, artifact and exhibit activities, parent/child social time, healthy snacks, and games. This is a great opportunity to spend time together with your children.

This program is provided free of charge with funding from the Government of Canada.  Please register a week before the program starts. Visit www.rrhc.on.ca to register online.
