The Coalition is committed to the health and well-being of our community. We recognize that wildfire smoke and poor air quality can pose serious health risks, and these conditions may affect our ability to run outdoor programs safely. Please review our air quality policy below for details on how we make decisions regarding outdoor activities during wildfire events.
UPDATE – June 13, 7:30 AM:
The air quality is currently at 6 and is expected to improve throughout the day. The event will proceed as planned at Crescent Park.
You're Invited to Our Year-End Celebration!
Join us as we wrap up an amazing year with a fun and festive gathering at Crescent Park on Friday, June 13th, from 10:00 to 11:30 AM.
As we head into summer and our hours are reduced, several community organizations will be on-site to share valuable resources and support you can access during the break. It's a great opportunity to connect and prepare for the months ahead.
What to Bring:
A bottle of water to stay hydrated
Sunscreen for sun protection
A blanket or towel to sit on
We hope to see you there to help us celebrate the end of the year and connect with helpful community partners!
The Fort Garry/St. Norbert Healthy Child Coalition is one of 18 Provincial Coalitions to receive funding from the Manitoba government. The members of our Coalition are people from the community who are interested in the welfare of our children. Every program funded by the Coalition supports parents in one or more of the following areas: parenting, nutrition and physical health, literacy, and capacity building. These programs are free and geared towards parents/caregivers and children (aged 1-4 years) to attend together.
Parenting
Talk to other parents about the joys and challenges of parenting. Ask the Program Leaders for ideas about services and resources in your community to support you in being the best parent possible.
Nutrition & Physical Health
Receive a healthy snack at the end of the program and have your child practice their fine and gross motor skills
Literacy & Numeracy
Take part in the rhyme circle, share a book with your child, participate in craft time, or simply spend some fun time with your little one. These are all activities you can enjoy at one of the funded programs.
Community Capacity
Learn about various resource opportunities available in the community, ways you can become involved in your community, and share your knowledge and experiences with others.
