Inviting all Families to be in motion on Family Day!

Family_Day-_in_motion_poster_-_picture.JPGSaskatoon City Council has once again declared the Family Day holiday on February 15th as Family in motion Day.  This is your chance to celebrate the holiday by being physically active with your family and friends.
    
If you have already made Family Day an in motion tradition, keep up the good work!  If you have not started the tradition yet, then make this the year to begin.  There are many fun family activities for you to take part in.  Visit the Forestry Farm Park and Zoo, hit the hills for some tobogganing or build a gigantic snowman!  Or you can plan and activity on your own with your family and friends.  Plan a nutritious potluck supper afterwards to celebrate the outing.

The City of Saskatoon will be offering a FREE family skate from 1:00pm – 3:00pm at Clarence Downey Oval (11th St and Ave. R S.)  Even if the weather is a bit chilly, you can still take part - there is a warm-up area inside and a fire pit outside!  You can purchase hot chocolate to keep toasty warm.  Bring your skates for a great afternoon of outdoor fun.
