It will involve a one-day family-based activity delivered each month from September 2008 to June 2009. Events will take place in various locations throughout Tantramar, and activities will focus on the TFRC’s priority areas including literacy, healthy living, early child development and youth outreach. Ila Goodwin has been hired as Project Coordinator to organize the events along with the TFRC’s board of directors.
The goals of Families’ Day Out are to provide activities that promote healthy family living, to increase community involvement, and to develop stronger community partnerships. Possible activities include a parenting expo, a youth day of volunteering, a community meal, an environmental and wildlife awareness day, family literacy day, and many others. Look for the first Family’s Day Out activity during the Sackville Fall Fair, September 20-21, 2008. For more information or to volunteer, contact Ila Goodwin at 364-4946 or irgood@live.ca.
