Come to our pop-up playground for a revolution in play… LOOSE PARTS PLAY!

In an open outdoor space, children will use their imaginations and play with loose parts! Loose parts include: tarps, bungee cords, tires, milk crates, cardboard packaging and more! This type of play is UNSTRUCTURED and RISKY!

Risky play is about discovery and finding out what we are capable of. It shapes us in unexpected ways. We often assume risk is negative but, it does not have to be!  As they begin to play, children are remarkably quite good at mitigating their own risk. They come up with their own rules, negotiate, collaborate and cooperate with other children. Children will have the opportunity to make creative decisions, test their boundaries and limits and learn skills to take into adolescence and adulthood.

Learn more about Loose Parts Play!

At the Loose Parts Playground site, our Summer Recreation Attendant will greet parents and children, orient them of the space and remind them of the expectations to be safe and respectful. Participants can drop in and stay as long as they would like. 

Children MUST be accompanied by an adult for the duration of their play. 

Please register your family for these programs for contact purposes incase we cancel due to weather!

**PLEASE NOTE: The Loose Parts Playground will be beside the splash pad at the Headingley Community Centre.

Are you thinking of doing, or have you already done a DNA test?   Can DNA testing help solve a family mystery, and if so, how? This session will give you a basic understanding of what DNA testing is, in simple and easy to understand language. It will explain what kinds of DNA tests are available, and what they can and cannot tell you. It will cover topics such as finding living relatives today, and how far back you might be able to trace your family. We will discuss which family members should do a test, and why. We will look at how ethnicity is determined, and discuss the different testing companies. Are you puzzled by your test results? We will also discuss that.     Join us for Lunch and our next Genealogy Presentation!   Lunch time: 11:45 am

Come to our pop-up playground for a revolution in play… LOOSE PARTS PLAY!

In an open outdoor space, children will use their imaginations and play with loose parts! Loose parts include: tarps, bungee cords, tires, milk crates, cardboard packaging and more! This type of play is UNSTRUCTURED and RISKY!

Risky play is about discovery and finding out what we are capable of. It shapes us in unexpected ways. We often assume risk is negative but, it does not have to be!  As they begin to play, children are remarkably quite good at mitigating their own risk. They come up with their own rules, negotiate, collaborate and cooperate with other children. Children will have the opportunity to make creative decisions, test their boundaries and limits and learn skills to take into adolescence and adulthood.

Learn more about Loose Parts Play!

At the Loose Parts Playground site, our Summer Recreation Attendant will greet parents and children, orient them of the space and remind them of the expectations to be safe and respectful. Participants can drop in and stay as long as they would like. 

Children MUST be accompanied by an adult for the duration of their play. 

Please register your family for these programs for contact purposes incase we cancel due to weather!

Welcome to Wiggle Tales—where stories come to life through movement, play, and imagination!

Each session takes little explorers on an exciting adventure inspired by a beloved tale. Through playful, hands-on activities, children develop important physical, emotional, and social skills—all while having tons of fun!

Parents, you’re part of the magic too! Together, you’ll share special moments, join in the activities, and connect with other families. Plus, there’s time for open discussions where you can chat, share ideas, and explore the theme of the day.

Let’s wiggle, giggle, and grow together—one story at a time!
