Children and youth between the ages of eight and 14 years are being invited to participate in Northern Sunrise County’s End of Summer Youth Outing.
The Aug. 23 event is set to provide a day of fun, relaxation, and friendship to youth before they head back to school.
“By offering engaging, free, and accessible events, the Community Services department can play a vital role in supporting the healthy development of children and strengthening the community as a whole,” says NSC Family and Community Support Services director Amber Houle.
“The outing is a fun way to wrap up the summer for youth.”
Youth will board the community van for an afternoon of swimming at the High Prairie Regional Aquatic Centre and wrap up the day with a serving of ice cream.
“These events promote physical health, social skills, and emotional well-being, helping our youth to grow into well-rounded individuals,” Houle explains.
“Offering the event for free makes it accessible to all youth, regardless of their financial situation. This inclusivity ensures that every youth has the opportunity to participate and benefit from the experience,” she adds.
Registration will remain open until all spots are filled, but Houle says space is limited. To register your child, please phone (780) 624-8071 or (780)-625-3287.
