If you are looking for a place to spend some quality time with your family, make sure to consider the Family Day event being held at the Nampa and District Complex.
The event will be held on Feb. 17 from 1-3 p.m. and is sure to provide a little bit of enjoyment for the whole family.
“Family Day events encourage families to spend quality time together, participate in fun activities, and build stronger relationships,” says Nampa/Northern Sunrise County Family and Community Support Services director Amber Houle.
“There will be activities onsite for all ages and abilities,” she adds. “Whether you are an infant snuggled in the arms of a parent, a toddler, child, teen, adult, or senior, there is something for you.”
Houle says the Family Day event will feature free skating, bannock, a wiener roast, hot chocolate, snow painting, and the opportunity to connect with your family and fellow community members.
“The event is free, making it accessible for everyone, and includes activities that cater to all age groups, from children to seniors, ensuring everyone can enjoy the day,” says Houle.
“It’s an opportunity to meet new people, connect with neighbours, and foster a sense of belonging in the community. This event is a wonderful way to break from routine, connect with others, and enjoy the simple joys of community, family, and outdoor fun.”
The Nampa Family Day event has been hosted by Nampa FCSS for over 20 years. Houle says this is an annual event that the community looks forward to.
“Family Day aims to bring families together in a shared space which fosters a sense of belonging and connection among neighbours, strengthening the community,” she concludes.
“Social connections and family interactions also have a positive impact on mental health.”
