Spring Break is here! We’ve been looking forward to it for weeks. What have you got planned? Are you going on a holiday or just having a stay-cation locally?
We were lucky with a break in the rain today, but it’s looking as though the weather may not be as sunny and warm as we would have liked. With a potential chance of rain most, actually every, day, where will you go to fill the remaining days of Spring Break? We’ve put together a couple of activities that are fun and educational rain or shine!
Learn about the diverse Indigenous cultures of the Northwest Coast at the Bill Reid Gallery this Spring Break. The Gallery offers educational experiences that will engage children and families of all ages. Free admission for children 12 and under.
