Family Resource Centre to host third annual Winter Wonderland event Aaron Walker - Moose Jaw Express
Families with young children will have another chance to enjoy a morning of holiday fun as the third annual “Winter Wonderland” event returns to the Early Years Family Resource Centre on Friday, Dec. 5. The free, come-and-go program runs from 9 a.m. to noon and is designed to introduce families to the centre’s early learning spaces, play areas, and supports for children from birth to age five. The event is presented by the Moose Jaw Health Foundation (MJHF) in partnership with the centre. “Winter Wonderland is a wonderful event held at the Family Resource Centre, and the (MJHF) is excited to be involved as a sponsor where families with children … can explore together with their parents and experience a wonderful holiday event that is free,” said MJHF CEO Kelly McElree. The annual event features winterthemed play spaces indoors and outdoors, snacks and hot chocolate, and horse-drawn wagon rides throughout the morning provided by Prairie Percherons. At 10:30 a.m., families can take in a special music and movement program, and children will also receive a take-home winter activity bag. McElree said the MJHF looks forward to the event each year because it brings families together. “It’s a great event for children to come, play, and see other children and fam-
