August Email Newsletter
Parkdale High Park EarlyON Centre
Welcome to the August Edition of Our Newsletter!
As a family drop-in program, we offer a welcoming space for families to connect, play, and learn together all while beating the heat. This August you can continue to join us at Vine Park on Friday mornings, weather permitting, for fun outdoor activities. With the wading pool opening earlier this year at 10 in the morning, we’ll aim to do our park circle time for around 9:30 with some snacks afterwards. See you at the park!
Important Notice
We will be closed on Monday, August 5th, for the Civic Holiday.
Thank you for being a part of our community. Have a wonderful August!
