Family Drop-Ins
Family Drop-Ins do not operate during school closures (summer break, winter break, spring break, Pro D days)
Due to the limited space inside, we ask that you park your stroller in our covered stroller parking area at the front of the building while attending the program. We now have Kryptonite Evolution LS U-Locks (high-level theft deterrent locks) available for sign out at our front desk for those who may have forgotten to bring a lock for their bike or stroller while visiting our centre. Just ask at our front desk!
