Program Newsletter August 2025

Hello Parkdale High Park EarlyON Participants!

We hope you're enjoying the summer! Please note that the centre will be closed on Monday, August 4th for the Civic Holiday. A friendly reminder that we remain closed on Saturdays for the summer months, and Friday programs take place at Vine Park—weather permitting. Be sure to check in if the skies look uncertain!

Our space is fully air-conditioned, so feel free to cool down with us during these hot summer days.

We look forward to seeing you and your family soon!

How to Beat the Heat

Summer fun can be endless—picnics, softball, golf, or relaxing in a hammock. But too much sun can lead to dehydration, increasing the risk of heat cramps, heat exhaustion, or even heat stroke. Stay safe by taking simple precautions to protect yourself from extreme heat. With a bit of care, you’ll stay healthy and energized all season—right through to the first fall breeze.
