The South Dundas Optimist Club, South Nation Conservation and South Dundas recreation are working together on local Family Day activities.
Family Day, which takes place Monday, February 16, 2015, is a public holiday aimed to provide Ontarians with more opportunity to spend time with their loved ones.
The first of two events in South Dundas is a Family Day Skate at the Dundela Outdoor Rink, organized by the South Dundas Optimist Club.
The event will feature skating, games and prizes. A bonfire will be made for roasting hot dogs and hot chocolate and apple cider will be served. Families are encouraged to bring toboggans and skates.
The Family Day Skate is scheduled to run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The second event is guided family nature tours by South Nation Conservation through Two Creeks Conservation Area in Iroquois, which will highlight ecosystems, species and interpretive stops.
Snowshoes and cross country skis will be available for use through the South Dundas Sports Lending Library.
The tours are scheduled to run from 10 a.m. until noon.
Both events are open to everyone and are free of charge.
“This is a great opportunity for families to spend quality time together and enjoy outdoor family-fun” Ben Macpherson, South Dundas recreation program coordinator, said about the events. “We hope to make Family Day activities an annual event in South Dundas, and increase the number of activities offered in the future.”
