Drumheller and Area Early Childhood Development Coalition is holding their fifth annual free Early Years Fair Thursday, October 13, 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. The fair will be located on the top floor of the Badlands Community Facility.
The fair is held for families with children under five to help them become aware of the various support groups in the community available to them. Older siblings are welcome to attend and there will be a play area, face painting, snacks, and activities provided for everyone.
“This should be a really fun event for everyone and there will be agencies from all over the area,” Shauna Watson from the Childhood Development Coalition said. “It’s very exciting as we will be celebrating our fifth year.”
The fair will feature over 22 local exhibitors. There will be many organizations attending such as Children’s Rehabilitation, which provides speech and occupational therapy, Regional Safety, who will be doing a car seat safety session. Supports from oral, public and mental health will be available as well as the community public dietician handing out nutrition information.
“This is your one-stop shop for resources for families. It has everything you might want to know about resources and services in the area.” Watson said, “This is the event to attend to come and connect with these agencies and organizations.”
Watson asks that you pre-register one of the three ways provided below but if you miss your opportunity to pre-register walk-ins will be welcome.
