Thank you to the City of Regina for the generous funding of Capture the Magic of Winter!
Join our new Communities at Play program! Sponsored by the City of Regina, this program is open to families with children of all ages. Families can register up to 8 people at a time (bring the whole family!) and we meet at different parks around the city for some free, child-structured play and some warm food and coffee. Gatherings are come-and-go. Sometimes we meet at the Regina Public Library, the Regina Early Years Family Resource Centre, and the MacKenzie Art Gallery but we mostly play outdoors. If you need a ride there and back, please let us know. You're welcome to register for as many or as few gatherings as you want.
This initiative started in early 2019 as an attempt to create a comprehensive play resource for people in Regina and has since been greatly informed and strengthened by input from the community. Please use the contact form to let me know if you have any feedback, or join the Instagram community @playyqr. The goal is to create and maintain a resource that is clean, minimal, and user-friendly.
